Dear Sasha, waking up at 5:30am when you're clearly still tired is generally not a good idea. Going back to sleep for another hour and a half, on the other had, was. Now, remember, you also need to nap for at least two hours to be fully rested.
Love,
your tired mama (who should've gone to bed at 8pm last night when you did)
Dear DH, thank you for a ridiculously delicious dinner last night and making enough to feed a small village
, now I don't have to make dinner tonight. Also, thank you for getting S back to sleep at 5:30 this morning, you rock!
Love,
your tired, but appreciative wife

Dear Woman Having an Angry Conversation on Your Cell Phone Outside,
Everyone in the neighborhood can hear you. You are screaming and cursing at the top of your lungs. You sound ridiculous. If you say, "Excuse me! Stop interrupting me!" one more time to the other party, I am going to scream back at you from my window. And why can't you have this conversation in the privacy of your own home? Huh?
Sincerely,
Neighbor Who Doesn't Appreciate Being Forced to Listen in on Your Convo

Dear H's Two-Week Old Beard,
You thought you had it nice, huh? I am sure my H enjoyed not having to shave for two weeks. But, back to reality, old fella. He's gotta be clean-shaven for work. Yay for me. Much nicer to kiss his smooth cheek.
See ya later, alligator!
Love, Wife With Delicate Skin

Dear Mother,
Don't be upset with me for not being overly gracious to my grandmother's H who is a crazy a$$hole. I understand that he is on his better behavior these days and concerned about his wife, but I find no need to extend myself to a guy who has all but poisoned our family. I guess you can easily forget all the shi??y things he's done or said, but I can't. I guess you have forgotton all the times he enraged you to the point of tears. Not I. My way of dealing with the crappy men in my family: being a slightly aloof bi?ch. Don't judge. It's works surprisingly well.
Love, Slightly Aloof Bi?ch
Dear body,
Seriously, do you think it is fair to me to have a miserable cold for more than a week AND be 8 months pregnant at the same time? No, it is not. As if it's not hard enough to breathe without being sick. And this sore throat is killing me right now. Please get your butt in gear and get healthy so we can concentrate on one thing at a time - you know, like gestating a baby.
Love,

Dear baby,
I don't want to TELL you when you should arrive but please remember you do not have to wait the entire 40 weeks. Any time after 37 weeks would be FINE with me. As long as I am not at work - please don't decide to come out unless we are on the "home" side of the bridge.
Love,
Your anxiously awaiting momma

Dear hubby,
Thanks for painting the nursery all by yourself this weekend. I know I acted disappointed that I couldn't help but really - I was thrilled. And you did a great job without me, so everything is good :-)
Love,
Tired and pregnant wifey
Dear Entenmann's,
Thank you for making Powdered Donuts (pop 'ems). Baby likes them...and so does momma!
Appreciatively yours,

Dear Pouring Rain,
Please be more considerate and don't come when my owner forgets me and has to walk 4+ blocks to her car slipping and sliding in leather sandals.
Love, Umbrella
