Re: open letter wednesday
Dear Benjamin,
I'm glad you had a good time with Nana and Grandaddy while Mommy and Daddy went to Boston Monday night!! We had so much fun on our much needed night to spend time just us. I am sorry we had to ruin your happy mood with shots yesterday afternoon though.
You were so brave, much braver than Mommy is when she gets shots. I hope that your fussy sleep was due to the shots and isn't going to be a trend though...zombie mommy is not cool! And, I promise I'll change the batteries in your swing today..
Love, Mommy.
Dear self,
You are dumb for making an appointment with a trainer this morning on a day you can't eat anything. No food + barely any sleep last night = fail for going to the gym. Your intentions were good but the execution was all wrong. Let's hope you don't pass out.
love, you
Dear Husband,
Monday was fantastic. I had so much fun at David Gray and dinner and just being your wife for a night instead of both wifey and Benjamin's Mommy. I think our plan to do that once a month is a really good one. I love you so so much.
wifey

dear isla,
crazy girl! you are so funny and i love you tons and tons. i love how you tell me the colors of everything and get so excited about it! but, you are still a baby and simply cannot do everything big sissy can. i love you baby cakes!

xoxo mama
Dear Paige,
Please stop waking up at 5 and calling my name and going back to sleep. Mommy is already tired this week since Daddy is away I really dont need the false alarm wake up call. My alarm clock works just fine and i prefer to use that instead which by the way lets mommy sleep till 630. These past two days I have wanted to just fall asleep at work. By the way your crying fit was just awesome this morning on top of it, as well as you taking off your shoes in the car all the time for the 10 minute drive to daycare.
Love,
Tired Mommy
Dear ID card (that I need to get into some of the staff parking lots),
You little sneaky sneakster. Nice job hiding under the seat in my car. Do me a favor and no more playing hide and seek, okay?
Best,

I hate you very much
Dear Sleep -
I miss you.
- living in a fog
Dear Work -
Still thanking you for finding me even if the situation isn't ideal. I'm a tough broad, I can deal. I think.
- happy to be making some money
Dear Jerred -
I know you worry about me burning the candle at both ends right now, and I worry too. I'm beyond exhausted and everything suffers - the kids, my work, you, all of it. But there's no other way right now. If we put the kids in daycare I don't make as much money. Not that my paycheck will save us, but it's a start. My worry is that this attorney won't make me salaried/permanent and I've lost all this time to job hunt too because there's just not enough hours in the week for me to do that while working and being a full time SAHM. I'm sorry I've failed this family so badly with my lack of a job, I really hope I can turn this per diem gig into something. We need it desperately.

Dear Michele-
Don't be so hard on yourself. You didn't fail your family. It's the sucky economy that is failing your family (and mine too, ugh, with DH out of work for almost 2 years). You are a great mom and have worked your butt off for your family, and I know that your hard work is going to pay off!
Hugs,
Kristen
Dear Cancer-
Just go away and stop bothering my family and friends. Nobody likes you, so just go crawl into a hole and never come back.
F*** you.
Kristen
Dear Landen,
Buddy Mommy loves you so much but I am not sure if I can keep handling your tantrums. They Really need to stop here, I understand you get frustrated but use your big boy words and tell mommy what is going on. We look like we've been beaten with all the bruises your causing to your self and mommy. I feel bad that wee are spending the days going back and forth.
Love you
Out of Ideas mommy
Dear Nick,
Your A BUTT!
Thats all
A tired me
Dear Sister,
Please think about your future while you deal with the situations you face. Please Take a min or two to think about those who support you and those who love you in all this too.
Love your sis who only wants the best for you!
Dear Chloe,
Thank you for being such a huge part of my life the past 7+ years! I don't know if I could have made the move from NJ/Philly to RI without you; having you with me was so comforting.
Also, I LOVED our car rides back and forth from RI to NJ/Philly! I especially loved the one when we were stuck in traffic on the Merrit Pkwy and you insisted on sitting on daddy's lap with your front paws on his arm so you could see out the window. The looks we got from people was hysterical!
I am so sorry that I wasn't able to make you better or catch the heart condition and treat it before this episode. I LOVE you so much and wish you were still here with us. Even though I wish you were still here, I hope that God is treating you well and showering you with treats, pets, kisses, kneeding pillows, oh and TONS of gravy!
Love, Your mom
Dear Bridesmaid dress,
Really! A size 20/22?!? How is it possible that my measurements show me needing a size 20/22 when I wear a 10 in street clothes?!? I am going to be even more pissed at you if I have to spend a fortune in alterations!
Thanks a lot, Irritated matron of honor
Dear Me,
You really need to get serious about losing weight! Isn't the size 22 bridesmaid dress and your trip to Hawaii in July enough motivation? I know, I know .... we have been slowly losing weight (.4 lbs a week) without really trying because of just breastfeeding but that is really not enough. Really, how hard is it not to have that extra chocolate or wings?
Love, Owner who is hungary all the time!
Dear Gabrielle,
I love you so much and couldn't imagine our life without you! I love all the new things that you are starting to do. I really love the "smooshy" face that you have been making recently!
Love, your mom (wow, that still sounds wierd to say)

Dear Candace:
Bridal wear is sized CRAZY! Don't read too much into it.

Dear Angelica Pickles:
I seriously forgot how much of a *** you are. You really are a douchebag. I mean, bullying babies like that. Does it make you feel good about yourself? You're gonna grow up into an old shrew of a hag.

Mel:
You and Cheeky need to stop hanging out. I don't know how much more of this I can take from you. Could you please stop telling me off? K? Or I will send you to live with the gypsies.
You are adorable and beautiful though. You take my breath away! But seriously, watch it. Oh, and could we use the potty...any time now?
Mommy
Tristan:
I adore your sweet face and your raspy voice. I love all the kisses you've been giving me lately. I really need it. You are the best!
Mommy
Ty:
I miss you man. Hope you're having fun in Disney. You and Mikala better not be sneaking off to see each other at night though.
