Open letters (anyone?)
Dear DH I love you to death (and while this may sound ungrateful) why, why, why do you have to ruin every surprise you have planned. I love that you put in the effort but in the last 3 days your over-excitment has ruined two surprises you have planned for me. In 9 years you have only ever pulled off one surprise. Dang.
Dear Friday why do you feel like a Monday? I want to go back to sleep.
Dear sister it has been really hard talking to you about your wedding next spring, it sounds like you are just along for the ride and it makes me sad for you.
Dear blackberry WTF is wrong with you today, get your $hit together I have sync'd, backed-up, and checked for updates why the heck aren't you able to get internet today????
Re: Open letters (anyone?)
I cannot even imagine what it would be like to spin this early, you go!!!!
I know I've sort of shared this before but he heard about the idea of a 'push gift' all on his own and I know always planned to do something. I have been letting him handle all the bills for the 2nd quarter and have not paid the least bit of attention to any of it, so he didn't have to even do this but he made up an elaborate story of why I shouldn't log into one of our accounts, then mentioned to me (several times) that he really needed to get in touch with my sister (he never calls my sisters).
Then we had our 'final' date night for a while and started talking about our favorite fancy shmancy restaurants in the area. There is this one that I just love on top of one of our casino hotels but we spend well over $100 for dinner there. I said something along the lines of it will be a while before we splurge like that again and he went on this little sidebar about having some tricks up his sleave, and our anniversary, then something about how nice it would be to stay overnight somewhere.
Really dh? Really?
Do you WANT me to come back after my maternity leave? You being a complete donkey-hole to me on a daily basis is making it really hard for me to come up with reasons to stay. Do you realize that my husband has told me MULTIPLE times I don't have to work, but I feel guilty quitting because you paid for my masters? I would rather not have gone through all that school crap if I had known that you weren't going to be able to promote me until Lord knows when and in the meantime you were going to give me crap about everything and micromanage the crap out of me. You better start being nicer to me because I may just quit altogether.
signed,
good luck without the one person who knows what they are doing around here
::hugs:: I think eventually you will not care. I will be very happy for you when that day comes.
That sucks.
I am sure it's not just hormones.
Mine has been a pretty big a-hole also. It's been really rough. We share an office and he is notorious for having these crazy outbursts it startles the heck out of me, plus I know he is pi$$ed about covering me while I am out.
DH-please try and have an ounce of romance in your body and be nice sometimes.
DH-please don't be mad at me b/c I want to go to my 1x a week advanced yoga class instead of a family dinner. They're your family, you spend quality time with them.
DH-please stop making excuses for your shittybrother and his wife. I don't care and if it were up to me, I wouldn't have them as FB friends, I wouldn't go to their house, and I wouldn't involve them in anything having to do with our life. It's not the same as my sister and her problems, b/c she has never said one negative thing about us, to us, or behind our backs.
Signed,
Your tired wife

Dear Nursing school,
I want to stab you. My last 5 weeks of school will be hell. You suck.
Hate,
Jackie
((hugs))
Oh one more.
Dear my niece's father and grandmother. You both must have really expected me to blow up big time with this pregnancy. Repeating over and over again that you can't believe how well I manage my weight the other night really did not come off as a compliment. It was weird and made me feel very awkward.
Oh and nieces dad, dammit if you didn't bring up my nose and that you can't believe it didn't get bigger. WTF?????
I'm giving you more than a virtual hug....I'm snuggling you in my bosom.
You shouldn't feel bad for not coming back to work. The stress you deal with there is totally not worth it and if you can stand to stay at home and that works for you guys I would totally say go for it!
Bossman might only realize how much he needs you only after you're gone, unfortunately.
You ladies are making me tear up, dang these hormones! Thanks soo much for all your support. I
all of you!
And W - seriously don't know what is wrong with people and their stupid comments. I think that we need to make a cheat sheet for the world as to what NOT to say to a pregnant woman!
Woah woah woah, how completely rude. Dear Lockit's neices father and grandmother - you're rude idiots!
Dear Alicia, tell your boss to take his job and stick it up the cow's wazoo. If Nick is telling you you don't have to work, maybe you could take a break for the first year and then go back. Since you have your masters it will probably be easier to jump back into the field when you want to. I am jealous!
Dear potential yardsalers - please just buy my stuff and don't try to haggle with me!
There is one on TB. One of the girls on my BMB printed it and handed it to a rude coworker after he made some comments to her.
Oh do you usually get good turnouts for yardsales??? My friend has one once a year and makes out so awesome I am always jealous of her.
As far as the comments it was one of those things that really strike you on the way home. I was counting in my head how many times they brought it up and realized it was a lot. People really do need cheat sheets. It's too bad, I usually really like my niece's grandmother.
Dear Alicia,
Come work with Dani.
Dear Alicia's Boss,
You suck.
I think about that every single day. Maybe it is about time I applied!
