Wednesday Night Dear...
Dear Wind-
Please don't blow anything into my car or house, the shingles off my roof or the fence off its posts. I will lose my sh!t it something else breaks.

You may have won the "battle" but my friend will win the war because she isn't a miserable person like you are.

Dear wind-
Thanks for knocking our power out just long enough for me to miss Survivor. We had to run to the store to stock up on flashlights and candles because my klepto daughter loves flashlights and we could only find 1. As soon as we got home and got batteries in and candles lit, power came back on. Oh well, at least we are prepared for next time.

Dear wind,

Dear retail workers of the metro area,
To the poor people trying to take the flags down at Chick Fil A so no one got hurt, and those trying to bring in carts at Kings, and the poor guys trying to tie things down outside Albertsons, thank you, and good work, and I hope you didn't get hurt.

Dear Mrs EAH,

Dear Jilly Bean,
Really? You are sleeping through this wind? I don't want to jinx it but where was this sleeping style last night when it was quiet?
Love you,
Mommy
Dear DD,
Please sleep. Please. You are almost 2, waking up every couple of hours is not ok. I need sleep, too, and this pattern sucks sucks sucks. I know you don't feel great, and I know those 2 year molars are brutal, but nursing all.night.long is going to break your mama.
Love,
Mommy
No more baby siggie pics. Boo.
For my "people" (said in the way Meredith Grey refers to McDreamy and Cristina),
You have no idea how much I appreciate your friendship and support. The events of the past two weeks will not define me, will not break me, nor will they destroy the good in me or the good I know that exists in the world. I'm taking a little while to lick my wounds, regroup, reassess, but then I'm going to dust myself off and get back on the horse.
Smarter, stronger, and with karma on my side,

Dear Katydid,
(hugs) I'm thinking my boss needs to send me out there for more training soon so I can give that hug in person.

Dear DH,
I realize school/looking for internships is stressing you out, but your reading into everything is stressing me out so if you could calm that down I would be much obliged.

Dear Manly Husband,
Thank you for learning how to fix a dishwasher, ordering the parts, fixing it, and sending me a video of the working dishwasher! You saved us hundreds of bucks.

Dear rock star math class,
Every last one of you can add and subtract the most difficult problems with fractions and mixed numbers! This is hard stuff, and your hard work paid off.

A belated entry:
Dear Wind-
Thanks ever-so-much for waking me up at 2:30 this morning by blowing half of my neighbor's crap down off their hillbilly storage patio. Thanks even more for waiting JUST until I was almost back asleep to wake my child up at 3:30, so that we could have over an hour of quality time together. It is totally what I am looking for in the wee small hours of the morning, and I don't feel like I got hit by a bus AT ALL today because of it.
Seriously though? You super suck.
Signed,

Dear Speedometer,
It never ceases to amaze me how swiftly you can go from zero to Utter-***. Phenomenal.
