We haven't done this in a while, and I have a whole bunch.

Dear Body, 

Please tell me you really are starting to turn the corner. I'm ready to not sleep 12 hours a day, and to eat like a normal person. I can feel us getting there, but the sooner you let me drink water again, the more grateful I will be. 

Dear Water, 

I miss you. Hopefully I'll be back to drinking you soon. 

Dear Spanish Teacher, 

I hate how much control you have over my life. You think I can't control 8 children? Really? That you have to stop into the ISS room over my time there? Really? And don't even get me started on the ceiling tiles. I should make YOU tell my kids they have to start over because YOU chose not to bring me anything until after the class was over. I can tell you are trying to make yourself look good, and me look bad. Why? It's not like I'm here permanently. Are you so far behind that you don't want to do this? Why make me do it then? I wish I had chosen to never help you with this project. And why do you have to look like you hate being here? You could at least try to make your job enjoyable, and be friendly to people here. But no. You chose to be a bitch all the damn time. You can't even be bothered to say Hi to your coworkers. It's really the few people like you who make this building so unbearable to be in. 

Dear Tech Ed teacher, 

You have no idea how much you made my day this morning. The fact that you complimented the one thing that another coworker put me down because of, I just can't even describe how much energy that gave me for the day. I cried. Happy tears. It made me feel like I can survive the remaining 56 days I have here, and I can survive it well, regardless of what some other idiots in my end of the building feel. 

Dear shoulder, 

Would you get better faster so I can lay on my side again? Thanks. 

Dear time, 

Would you stop for a few hours, so I can feel like I'm getting a little of you to myself? I need a little more of you this week. 

Dear tutu, 

Please go together fast and without being a pain. This is new for me, and you need to be wearable by Saturday.

Dear Abby,

Why oh why are you now drinking more than 3 full sippy cups a night. I like that they put you back to sleep right away, but this is getting out of hand. I am starting to worry there is something wrong with you.

Worried Mommy

Dear H,

I know Abby is probably ok, but I'll feel better if we have the test done anyway, which you know. 

Worried Wife

Dear Self,

Abby is probably using the drinks and sippies for comfort. Try not to freak out too much until the 20th. Don't let Google turn you crazy.

ME

Side note: Abby is drinking a lot at night and I am worried about Type 1 Diabetes because when I searched on Google that was one of the symptoms along with excessive peeing. I asked the doctor to have her tested and they can't get her in until the 20th. H and my in-laws are sure she is fine, but I will feel much better once the test tells me so.

ImperiumWife

@Penguin129- I would just be smart about it for the next few weeks. Don't give her things that could spike her blood sugar, like simple sugars and fruit juices. And make sure you know the signs of what can go wrong, that way, if something drastic happens before you can get her to the doctor, you catch it quickly. It's probably nothing to worry about, but you are allowed to worry about it.

Thanks @imperiumwife. I really think it is more of a comfort thing. I tried not giving her the sippy cup after being up so many times getting them for her last night, but I gave in after 1 1/2 hours. I have plans to put in motion in the meantime. The nurse doesn't think it is diabetes because she doesn't drink excessively during the day, just at night. I am going to try and tell Abby she doesn't get anymore sippy cups at bedtime, just a straw cup with water for if she gets thirsty. This is just driving me crazy. I really wish I could've gotten her into the doctor sooner.

It's always a good idea to rule things out. Hugs!!! Hopefully time goes quickly.

Dear self,

Please stop worrying. It's not helping with sleep at night.

Thanks, me

dear husband,

I know today starts your week of being on call. Please stop acting like a jerk. It's only the first day. I can't handle a week of you like this and/or worse.

Love you super tired wife.
