They only have cheap apples that aren’t as good as honey crips cause they are trying to rip us off
That’s the text I just got from my daughter who sends me very random thoughts throughout the day. There are only two dining halls open on her campus and her favorite is a 20 minute walk from her room, so she and her roommate usually just end up getting food from the closer one that doesn’t have a great selection.
Higher education, ripping us off with the cheap produce!
What’s the last text you got from one of your kids?

Last two:
Wtf I didn’t know dial up even existed in modern countries anymore. Avoid
(In response to me telling her about a rental house I inquired about since we just sold our house and need somewhere to live while we build)
And:
There is a bad noise coming from my dishwasher...it sounds like a monster is trying to chew his way through

She had a mastectomy in September and will be receiving chemo through August so this is fantastic news.

From my 13 year old son (who lives in the same house as me): You look so good in your mask. It covers up a lot of your face.  Edited: He’s 15, not 13! I honestly forgot for the moment. 🤦🏻♀️🙄 |

“She’s looking for you” from DD14
Sounds ominous, but referring to our dog, who was clingy pre-pandemic but is positively Velcro now.

Not as much fun here:
From dd - 5/10, tentatively (answering when her surgery is)
From dh - I was thinking Airbnb (answering to picking a hotel near the hospital where dd is having surgery, she will be there 4-5 days)

From DS: Available to talk for a minute. Nothing bad/ urgent just need to talk with someone about something that isn’t math or coding. (He’s in the midst of his capstone project for his electrical engineering masters degree). He calls and I give him a pep talk about “only 10 more weeks, you’ve got this”. Then we talked about the puppy a YouTuber he watches just adopted.
From DD: “Just got accepted to XYZ” and then crickets. She was waitlisted there and never expected to get in. She’s already paid her deposit for another school. Now she’s reconsidering. I guess it’s good to have options.

Just got a bunch from my beloved son (he moved to NY 3 years ago and I miss him so much every single day!!):
No good news yet. He was anxious at the dinner last night and didn't say anything....
This was about his boyfriend who is trying to come out to his family. As soon as he does, my son has a ring that he bought him. They both want to be engaged, but his boyfriend is having a hard time coming out to his mom (especially). They're very old-school and he's afraid they won't accept him as being gay.
He said: It was the 13th and I missed F's memorial for this dinner, but i'm gonna go visit him next weekend instead Hard hitting, he was referring to his best friend who died a couple of years ago from heroin (while he was in a detox house). My son lost 1/2 of his graduating high school class to drugs. This one was a mystery, and my son said that he thought his friend was on the right path. Proud of my son for going to his grave and being strong enough to face it. It means a lot since he's a recovering addict also (I think it's almost 8 yrs that he's clean). Anyway, nothing silly, but all promising.

From DD - I just bought really good Irish cheese from the grocery basket. I'm nervous about asking Alex and Lana (current bosses) for a reference because I think they want me all summer. But the Pen job wants current boss info. UGH!!
From DS - When's dinner? What's for dinner?
From DH - what are the camping dates again

We talk about dinner a lot.
DS1: is there dinner for me or am I on my own?
DS2: I got out on time so I'm ordering wings.
With one closing most days, he's either on his own or will eat leftovers. He knows we get take out or go out on certain days and like places he doesn't. The other got switched to days and is scheduled to get out at 5 or 6, but have been shorthanded lately. He had worked a 12 hour shift recently and had to stay until 8 a few other times. We've offered to both kids to get a dinner to go for them. DS2 is the only one to take us up on that.

My son talking after I asked my kids, via text, about getting a floating mat for our lake house... "They don't have cup holders so obviously they just won't fit the lake life style"...  then "Only joking, I don't have a horse in the race. Totally up to you." |

From my daughter:
“Help me load the cats and then go get my groceries”
In response to my question of what’s on the agenda for after I pick up my 14 yr old grandson from school tomorrow.
For clarification, she’s taking all 3 of her cats to the vet, while B and I go pick up her Click List grocery pickup order. I lead such an exciting life.

Late last night our time, early Sunday morning his time: "Is Germany still awake? The tiny girl wants to speak"
Today was my granddaughter's 2nd birthday party - her birthday is Tuesday - and she wanted to 'tell' us all about her planned party. Conversation was basically: party, cake, Yay! YAY!!! pink tutu (tutu was actually purple, but pink is easier to say)

“You are very welcome.
The car smelt lovely so I can imagine how it tasted 😛
Xx”
From my eldest DD. As a Mother’s Day surprise she delivered take away Sunday lunch from a local restaurant so I haven’t had to cook! It was fabulous, a real treat 😊

"I have zero dead skin on my feet now: it looked like they took off half my foot with how much came off!"
"They took off my fake jergens tan though 😂"
In response to me telling her that her first pedicure since July looked good (she'd sent a picture).

DS:
Thanks for the recipe mum, went great!
(He’s referring to my chilli beef recipe he’d asked for a couple of days earlier - it’s one of his favourites but he also needed something that was gluten-free as one of his flatmates can’t eat gluten)
Me:
Yay but I thought you weren't going to try it till the weekend? Well done you btw, you'll have to cook it for us when you're back down 😘
DS:
I wasn't but xxxxxx arrived on Monday which lead to a flat meeting on Tuesday starting the cooking roster early; thought she was coming Friday

My DD said: I'm coloring right now. I've been coloring a lot and hanging all my pictures all over Tyrone's crib. 🤣
ETA: Tyrone is her boyfriend and he lives alone in his apartment. She goes over and hangs out with him all the time. And apparently she's redecorating.

DS1 "Ok."
DS2 "The actual cake from Portal is black forest cake, and I don't know if anyone likes Black Forest cake."
DS3 "OK"
DS2 is a much better texter and we text a lot. The other two, not so much. I get a LOT of "OKs"

From my daughter (aged 26): "Georgia tech considers themselves new bloods and they haven’t made the tournament since 2010...." (Apologies to any Georgia Tech basketball fans. We're a pretty ruthless family during March Madness. ) From my son (aged 28): " It actually started raining when we were walking and Eddie still insisted on sniffing all the lawns." (Our son is watching Eddie, our 19 year old Jack Russell terrier mix while we're out of town. A few months ago Eddie discovered that one of our neighbors threw dry dog food on their front lawn for the crows. Ever since then, Eddie has been sniffing every lawn, hoping to find some free food). |
