text conversations between busy parents

It was one of those days where both the boys had two different activities and Jason and I had to divide and conquer.  We did text each other to keep the other informed how well the kiddos were doing in their respective sport -- Jake was playing baseball, and Isaac was at a swim meet, I was with Isaac.

Here's what our text-conversation looked like:

Jason:  Top of the first our team three points
Me: Isaac did well in the butterfly, not quite sure if he placed 2nd or 3rd.
Jason: Bottom of the 1st, Jake is in right field.
Jason: they got 3, we're now 4 to 3
Jason: Jake up to bat, he struck out
Me: ugh
Jason: that was quick we're up again, Jake in R field again.
Me: Isaac just finished a relay they were behind and Isaac got them to second doing free stroke (okay, I might be exaggerating here, he helped get them into second place, but probably not the sole reason they got there)
Jason: up to bat again, Jake got a double and two RBI's (run batter in)
Jason: Tell Isaac good job.
Jason: Our kids are awesome
Me: They are
Jason: We must be great parents
Me: We so are, we should write parenting books and get awards and stuff
Jason: LOL, Jake up to bat again, got a single and two more RBI's.
Me: Oh crap, we need to hold off on that parenting book, I lost Isaac.
Jason: Well find him, you're making me look bad.
Me: Found him, he was practicing.  Whew, we're good parents again.
Jason: We're at 20 now they only have 4
Me: Yay, this is one of the better teams on the league, they won both games this season (we're in the playoffs right now)
Jason: cool isn't it.
Me: damn it I lost Isaac again
Me: found him.
Jason: Jake's up to pitch
Me: I hate it when he pitches,  I hope he does well
Jason: Not so much
Me: So glad I'm not there, I'd be going nuts pacing.
Jason: oooh, 4th walk, not doing well
Me: Isaac about to do the IM.
Jason: One of the batters hit, they've gotten a couple over home.
Me: Hey, we'll be finished around same time, want to meet at Tokyo Joes?
Jason: Yeah sounds great.
Jason: He struck out the last batter they're done, 27-7 us...whoo hoo
Me: oh, phew I'll forgive him the four walks then.
Me: Isaac didn't do that great on IM but his stamina so much better then last year and HE'S EIGHT.
Jason: All parents should be like us
Me: no kidding, and humble like us too.

update:

Isaac three second place and one first place

Jake, they won the game, went on to when another on Sunday and now are in the championship game in a couple of weeks (he struck out 10 in 5 innings, walked one and hit one of the boys with a ball so he walked too -- but hey he's eleven)
