The Honest Truth

It's true.

Ashamedly, I'll admit it's true...

...I used to text and drive.

Not a lot, but enough.

Enough to make me stop and think twice

about responding to that text message while the light turns green

now that another human life is my responsibility.

Enough to make me vow to keep my cell phone

 tucked away in my clutch

in the diaper bag 

in the backseat of my car

just to break the habit.

So, friends, I apologize if you become frustrated with me

for not promptly responding to your messages as I have in the past.

I know. I know.

I am already impossible to get a hold of via phone call

and texting is my main means of communication

but now that I have a little one's safety at my mercy,

the texts will be delayed,

and the calls put on hold...

...at least while I am driving.
