Re: open letter wednesday
Dear Nesties,
Sorry I have been MIA, been in a funk and have a lot going on and just needed some space from it.
Still love you all
XOXO

Dear Courtney,
My heart is breaking for you, I love you so much. You are my entire world and if I could take this hurt, pain, decisions, everything?. I wish I could just make it all so much easier for you then this is. I am so heartbroken and worried for you. I know you are making the right decision and you are going to be on your complete own soon and that scares the living daylights out of me. But, I know that I have raised you to be a very strong independent woman and you will be ok.
Stay Strong baby girl and everything will work itself out.
And you do not know this yet !!! BUT we are having a surprise 21st Birthday for you next month ~~ all your family and friends will be there. Then you will see what I know you already know---YOU ARE LOVED !!!
XOXOXO Baby Girl,
Love Mommy
To the nurse at the doctor's office yesterday:
You are a b!tch and because of you I am seriously considering another doctor's office. Thanks for making me feel the way you did. Hope you feel good about yourself. Skank.

Dear Life / God / whatever -
Little miss Sofie really needs to wake up. This isn't fair. She's a tiny, beautiful baby - she's barely 2 weeks old. She shouldn't have to go through all of this and fight so hard for her life. Her parents don't deserve to go through this either. Letting this tiny girl die, and letting her parents suffer, is FUBAR.
- Hoping for a Sofie miracle
Dear work -
I am very happy some form of you found me, but it needs to be steady enough to put the kids in daycare 2x a week b/c I cannot start my work day at 9pm. I only worked about 9 hours on this latest project but that was 95% after 9pm, and that's not cool. Please let something more steady find me soon or let this become enough work to be profitable after daycare....
- Tired and brain-fried
Dear cyst -

Dear Lindsay's doctor's nurse -

dear DH-style jobs that come up in my search,
WTF? as if i need another reminder of how much more marketable and in-demand my IT-geek husband's skills are.
thanks for nothing,
endlessly job hunting cheeky
dear weather in NYC,
please, please do not be horrible next week! it is bad enough that DH has to attend a work retreat on his birthday. don't make it suck harder, k? and really, i don't want to be trudging through snow and lakes of slush/sludge!
thanks,
ready for spring
Dear SIL,
I know I'm not your biggest fan, but I'm sorry you're so sick. I hope the docs in the ER do something today and they figure out why your balance and speech are off.. and I really hope it's not your brain cancer coming back.
Love,
worried SIL.
Dear prenatal yoga instructor,
I appreciate your class because it makes my body feel 100x better. But, I could do with less spirituality and serious yoga practice. 4 of 5 of us that attend are not interested so much in the spiritual part as we are in the exercise and help with aches and pains.
Thanks,
A
Dear baby,
You are starting to feel like a little person in there. I like feeling your kicking, except those in the direction of my bladder. You make me smile.
Love,
Mommy-to-be
dear college in ri i applied for a job at,
please, please, please call me for an interview and please, please, please hire me.
thanks, tired of the commute to boston and now super worried to go back
dear boss at college in boston where i work,
i knew this day was going to come eventually, but i'm devastated you are leaving. i am so lucky to have a boss like you and i'm terrified of who they may hire to replace you. surely not someone as flexible and understanding as you are. now i dread my return to work even more.
I could have written this one. It's so not fair.
