Signed,

Dear Mackenzie,
I am ok with nursing you to sleep if that is what it takes to get you to nap during the day, but please just actually sleep.
Signed,
Your mom who loves that you sleep 12 hours at night but could use some time in the day too
I really do not want to be at work. I'd be okay with faking a migraine or something in order to stay home curled up on the couch with my pups watching trashy TV.
Maybe one day I'll get the guts to call in "sick" and have a me day.
Dear Skin,
Please stop breaking out so bad. I feel like I'm back to being 15, though my skin is never clear unless on meds, but still. It's really bringing me down and I just want that pregnancy "glow" already.
Signed,
Tired of being a pizza face
Dear Baby,
Keep growing! We love you so much and can't wait to see you again in less than 3 weeks! Finding your heartbeat finally on the Doppler last night was music to our ears. Keep doing what you're doing! We can't wait to meet you in August!
Love,
Mommy
Dear house,
Please clean yourself. I seriously don't want to deal with you.
Thanks,
The person hates housework
Dear body,
Please get your act together. You're feeling better, it's time to improve our diet and actually start eating those healthy fruits and veggies again. The baby needs the nutrition and so do we, so please cooperate. Also if you could find some motivation to work out, even just a walk around the block, that would be fab.
Signed,
Tired of eating junk and sitting on the couch
Dear sister,
Stop being a b!tch who has no time for your family and are way too absorbed in your new bf who has already cheated on you (saying you weren't 'official' doesn't make it better, since it is his MO).
Love,
Your sister who misses the way you used to be.
Dear Work,
Please please don't be awful to me during busy season. I am willing to put in the extra effort, but not if I am going to get sh!t in return.
Signed,
Manager who wants to maintain a work life balance
Dear Dad,
Please stop apologizing for putting us 'through all of this'. It isn't your fault. We want you healthy and will do whatever it takes to get you there. Focus on getting better, we will take care of the rest (well minus my sister per above).
Love,
Your daughter
I have another,
Dear karma,
Please cut my Nesties some slack. You've been putting a lot of them through too much lately.
K thanks bye
Dear pregnancy:
I'm glad we're halfway there, but really..the headaches & heartburn are not making tri 2 the "easy" trimester like everyone says...what gives?!
Dear bump:
Where are you?? You make my clothes not fit, but still just make me look fat instead of pregnant!
Love, this frustrated momma-to-be
Dear Little Lion:
I wish I knew if those feelings were you kicking away in there? It makes me so nervous to not know for sure. Keep getting bigger and stronger! We can't wait to see you again next Wednesday!
Love, Mommy
Dear school:
Is it June yet? I'm so over you it's not even funny.

Dear Cheerleaders,
I love you but seriously, get your poop in a group. Get to practice, KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, and stick it. When you hear me correct something, correct it. Don't do it wrong 5 times until I make you do pushups for not correcting it in the first place.
Your coach
Dear Hubby,
I love you but you need to find a company that appreciates you and all you do. Not one that doesn't give a crap. Get out of your comfort zone. Lets move.
love, your wife
Dear son,
I love you, but this business of pinching my face has got to stop.
love,
mama
Dear Lucas:
Please stop growing. It's like I blink and you're different. It makes me sad knowing you won't be this little for forever.
Love Your Mom (who's cherishing every minute)
Dear E,
Thank you for changing your ways and helping around the house. I knew you had it in you! It's making my days so much better and it helps my mood around the house too.
Love your underappreciated wife.
Dear Kate, Mark, Nicole and Becky:
I look forward to spending the weekend with you guys! I can't wait to see you all and actually have adult conversation. Lucas is pretty excited to meet you guys (and Andy!) too. It's going to be so much fun.
See you soon! Laura and Lucas
Dear to-do list:
DO YOURSELF!
Always,
very busy lady

Dear puppies:
Please be good for the house sitter when I'm gone. I'll miss you.
Love,

Dear Work:
Please do not implode or have any crisis or disasters while I am gone. Yes, I will check my e-mail, and have my cell phone.
Always,

Dear weather:

Dear Bank Account,
Seeing such a low number in you makes me very nervous, so I'd appreciate it if you'd please multiply yourself by 1000.
Love,
Your Owner
Dear Students,
I understand today is the last day of Add/Drop, but you have already missed 3 classes if you're trying to add a class today. Please don't give me a hard time when I explain that you need the instructor's permission to join his/her class! Also, when you're rude to me about my program and tell me things like "I don't give a sh*t," as I'm giving you information, it puts me in a cranky mood. I give you respect and I would appreciate it in return.
Sincerely,
Your Advisor (who is somewhat surprised that a 50 yr old would talk to her in such a manner)
Dear Bills,
DH was laid off and NOW you decide to hit all at once? You have impeccable timing.
Sincerely,
Not Impressed
Dear Ex-Boss,
My jaw just hit the floor when you called me. THANK YOU for actually complimenting me and my work. You haven't said many nice things to me in the 2 1/2 years I've been here and this comes as a complete (but much appreciated) shock!
Sincerely,
Surprised (but could get used to this)
This!

Dear super cute nerdy TA who teaches my math class:
If you finish the lesson for the evening and go over all of our questions from the homework, it is okay to let us leave 5 minutes early. You will not get fired for this. I promise.
Sincerely,
The girl who is tired of running to catch the last train home
Dear Atlanta weather:
GET IT TOGETHER! Seriously, this back and forth cold/rainy then warm/sunny business is not cool. Pick on and stick with it.
Sincerely,
The girl who absolutely froze yesterday in a skirt and died of heat in jeans today.
Dear Mr. President:
I am aware that the State of the Union address is important, but I am really bummed that you are giving it on Tuesday night. I needed my weekly dose of The New Girl tonight.
Sincerely,
The girl who is settling for American Idol and turning in early.

thought of another topic for letters for me right now...
Dear MIL:
While it's nice that you are throwing me a baby shower & I...you're making me loathe it. You're the one that went and called everyone for their availability. I didn't know to know who was available when. Now you're making ME decide which day to have it (aka who isn't going to be able to come)?!??!?! WTF. That's so ridiculously unfair. You've now stressed me out beyond belief about this and are making me not want to have one.
Sincerely,
Your very stressed and annoyed DIL
and to go with that..
DH:
What else do I need to say for you to step in and do something about this shower situation???????????? Stop siding with your mother and not helping me because you don't want to get her mad because it's royally P#SSING me off. Offer to email your one cousin who isn't sure about the date I prefer is nice and all, but actually DO IT and then tell your mom to pick the date so it's not me deciding between YOUR family members.
Love,
Your very stressed baby-momma
Dear head: please stop hurting... Wyatt totally didn't mean to throw his full sippy cup at you while I was lying on the ground. He was just trying to share. No need for hard feelings, right?
Dear Wyatt: I know your grandparents are bound and determined to mold you into the greatest baseball player ever... But they should have known better than to teach you to throw things last month when they watched you for me. Now a problem that was once manageable has turned into a game, and the other parents at mommy and me are not big fans of it when you throw things at their kids. Please start listening to me when I try to get you to stop!
Dear weather:
Did you not get my last letter? High wind, thunderstorms, and record amounts of rain (again) were not part of the agenda. Knock it the f off.
Sincerely,
tired-of-intermittent-power-outages
Dear MIL & SIL,
That Disney trip in May that you were joining us on was our trip that we were planning. The fact that you booked your flight and then told us makes me mad. You see, those aren't the days we are going, so now our trips only overlap by two days. Nice going.
Love,
Your son's/brother's wife who would like to be kept in the loop
Dear Hubby,
I love you but you really need to lay still while you sleep so that I can get some rest!
Also, wtf is with breaking holes in our sheets.. especially new ones? I don't feel like spending money on new sheets every 1 1/2 months because you break them in your sleep!
Love, your wife
