How do moms make plans? If you’re a mom, you know the answer- THROUGH TEXTS!
Let’s lighten things up with a little demonstration that showcases something we moms do ALL. THE. TIME.
Every day I thank GOD for the invention of texting, because if I didn’t have it, I’d probably never see another soul, talk to another friend, connect with anyone. Calls are so yesterday, and I’m glad for it. Calls take time. Who has it? Calls are wonderful, engaging, fulfilling conversations that I often don’t have the energy for these days. I’m so sorry about that…
But I’m gonna guess most other moms don’t either.
So we moms TEXT.
ALL. THE. TIME.
When we want to get together, we text each other and plan a date. Scheduling it can be a bit tricky.
It goes something like this…
Hey hun! I MISS YOU! I keep meaning to text and check in, but man it’s crazy with the kids. When can we hang? How’s Katie doing? How are YOU?
*Two days pass*
Hey hey! I miss you TOO! It’s nuts over here. We just got back in town from Florida and I’m trying to get this house in order. My girl is NOT helping things along. LOL. Marching band is taking up her time and of course there’s always her social life. ????Let’s try and figure out a day/time for us to catch up, okay? How are you holding up?
*Five days pass*
Oh do I get it! My house is a disaster. I don’t even know where to begin. I told my kids they need to do a FULL sweep of their bedrooms by Friday. Will see if that happens. There will be a hefty ransom fee for their stuff if it’s not done. I will take it ALL. *Mwahahaha*
*One week passes*
Did we ever look at dates? OMG we are pathetic! Cade started soccer season, cross country, and flag football and Cass started swim season which means practices 6 days a week. It’s getting a bit crazy over here. What say YOU? Let me know what days/times you might be free? I can see what hubs can cover so I can hang out!

AmIRight?
And if you want to get together, shoot me a text! I’m sure a few months from now we will pull it off!
Amen! So insanely true!
And yes, we’ll try to call, but we just might stick to texting or messaging 🙂
Hahahaaaa, this is so accurate, Chris. Although, those busy days with the kids are gone for me wah. Now, I have no excuse to not see friends because I’m not schlepping my kids to their sports and school.
I love texting but at the same time it drives me crazy.
Hope you get together with your girlfriend very soon, like say in two months?
Hey Christine, I read this somewhere and I thought I made a comment. Maybe it was on facebook. But that was hilarious! There’s always been an age gap of me and my friends and the ages of our kids, so when they were the ones who had excuses I didn’t get it until I was the one who had excuses. Now it’s come back around, they are all “free” so to speak with college age kids and I just simply don’t feel like doing anything so here we go again. I suppose it’ll happen again when I’m “free” and they have their grandchildren for the weekend.
We were talking just the other day about making plans when we were in our teens and we said, “How did we do it before texts?!”
We must have been so crafty.
Texts are saving our lives Chris!
It’s like this all the time. Calls are great but we don’t have time or if we have there is always somebody needing something at the same time! And that something needs our attention right now…
Crazy!
But so good when we finally got to meet!
I’m dying over this! Spot on. Thank you! Helps relieve some guilt of several texts I have responded to yet! Heading over to read the rest. Love you. I’m so behind–taking me longer and longer to get to the blogs I adore, yours being numero uno !
Texting is a godsend but sometimes I miss phone calls! I have one friend who literally lives via text. It’s more the norm now than the exception so I’ve had to jump on the texting bandwagon… but I wasn’t an early adopter.
