Yesterday was Emily’s first dance class and as I had mentioned, she was not looking forward to it. She envisioned torture tools and the removing of body parts, even after we went to the store and picked out a pink Hannah Montana leotard with matching pink tights and ballet shoes.

Sometimes, you don’t realize just how much you rely on technology these days to survive until something you take for granted leaves you.
