The Kid Made it Up to UNC - That's About All I Know


Big Old Tree Behind My Son's Dorm at UNC Chapel Hill

My kid got up and out this morning about 5 a.m. and called me about 8 to let me know that he arrived at UNC. I did ask him if he was actually parked. Yes - Mom. And, I asked him if it was a legal space. They don't mess around up there about that parking. Put the car in the wrong spot, and it is tow city.

I had to go on to jury duty. I can't tell you a thing about that. That is the law. I see, hear, and speak no court case until I am picked or not and done.

When I got home I tried to call the child out of the nest. He is either very busy at UNC or he did not remember to take his cell phone charger. This is probably a toss up, so I will not worry on it.

The younger son and I ate some pretty gross heat up chicken nuggets and seasoned frozen fries that were not much better. I'm thinking to hit a fast food joint on the way home from jury duty tomorrow, because that heat up dinner just did not do it. I'd rather cook from scratch and may, since I have a lot of time to sit and think while waiting to do my duty to my country on the jury - though I may not need to. It just depends on how the dice roll tomorrow.

Your kid going off to college is a little scary and a little wonderful. Congratulations to you both!

Thanks! I can't wait for him to get home and hear all about his trip to UNC on his own. That's the longest trip he's taken without some of us along.
