Open Letter Wednesday

Cheeky is on her last day at her temp gig working crazy hours, so I'm posting this one for her today too. Cheeky - hope you get that well-earned nap this afternoon!

Rant, rave and vent away ladies!

Re: Open Letter Wednesday

  • DH,

    I am sorry you have a stuffy nose. Can't wait to see you at lunch with Benjamin!!

    <3 wifey

    Benjamin,

    Let's be on our best behavior today, just like when we went to see Mommy's coworkers!! You're perfect though, so really could I expect anything less? Oh. And can we try to sleep until at least 5am every day? Waking up before 5 sucks. :)

    Love you bunches! Mommy 

    Body,

    Thank you for finally responding to my eating well and starting to lose the last 7 baby weight pounds. Now we just have to work on that other pre-baby weight huh? Keep kicking @ss.

    Love, you

  • Dear Social Security Office:
    Please be kind to me and help me get in & out with 2 kids. I'm sorry I lost 2 cards (mine and ben's), I've moved twice, once cross-country, since Ben was born and have lost my organizational skills. At least I have maddy's and Jerred's!
    - Anxious mama

    Dear Pediatrician's office:
    YOU ROCK! THanks for printing out those pages for me to take to the SS office today. I hope they are enough! Thanks again!!
    - Happy mama

    Dear cyst:
    GO THE F*CK AWAY ALREADY. I'm ovulating on the side w/ the cyst probably within the next few days and it hurts like hell. ENOUGH.
    - Wanting no more pain

    Dear Kindercare:
    Please be a great place with a reasonable cost and flexible on either 2 or 3 days. I need to get to working normal hours before I go insane and I'm so anxious about leaving my kids somewhere right now. Thanks.
    - Nervous mama

    Dear DH:
    Let's try to have a nice weekend. I'm sure I'll have some work to do but I could really use some help cleaning a bit and just overall relaxing. I'm tired.
    - wifey

    Dear Skype -
    You also ROCK. We get to see and talk to daddy every night when he's away, and we can see and talk to all the grandparents on a regular basis. So amazingly awesome. :-)

  • Dear Michele,

    Let's keep these pacts going. It's like a mini encouragement session every morning, even when no encouragement is actually sent! Fun times.

    Maybe we can even incorporate our pacts into something else... like working out or eating healthy? :)

    Alicia I like it - maybe we can be our own little weight loss/health buddies! It's been really good to do the challenges together, I like it! And I've liked this week's challenges too! You've got it sister!

    I need somebody to do this stuff with me, or I end up slipping and falling off the wagon. Yay for a buddy!!

  • No problem! I will hopefully have daycare by next week or so, and then I'll actually be able to just rest once the kids go to bed more nights than not. Finally. my 14 hour a day job of mommying is enough, I'm done with the 18 hour version!
