wimseycat Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 My mom is pretty much homebound so I take care of her shopping needs. This is the text she just sent me: "I need some more drugs and a melon" Well okay then... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimseycat Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yes it really can be draining especially since I am the only child who lives in the same area as she does. I sent my college-aged son the text for a laugh and he texted back "Same." Haha 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamiof5 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It must be really draining. Hope you picked something fun or yummy for you 😊. Sending lots of patience your way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 And good to keep your sense of humor. When my mom was in hospice, my brother would give her her oxycontin and say, "one for you, one for me". JOKING of course! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimseycat Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yes my mom and I have a good relationship so we keep the humor up as much as we can given the circumstances. Her texts are always blunt and to the point because she texts using a number pad not a keyboard (her choice). FWIW, I also forgot to mention that she doesn't want any old melon. It has to be local and from a farmers market/stand so she isn't getting her melon until Wednesday. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
