No phone

I hate to admit it but I have this tendency to pick up the phone when my kids are driving me really crazy and check my email or something to escape the situation.  Today I decided that I was not going to use my phone for anything but phone type stuff... You know the thing phones were originally used for, contacting people.  I'm actually quite happy to say that I did pretty well.  I made it the whole day without using it.  The funny thing is, I think I was less frustrated today as well.  I'm not sure if those are connected but I think I'm going to try and keep this up.  I felt a little more present and had more fun with my kids today than I usually do.  I hope on those crazy hard days it's as easy to achieve this goal.  It probably won't be but I think the results will be just as worth it!
