Thursday - Open Letter & Be Thankful
As Melanie suggested, let's do both - go ahead and let rip all the things you'd like to have said to people... and then find something to be thankful for as well.
Re: Thursday - Open Letter & Be Thankful
I'm thankful for my job. As much stress it is causing me right now, I'm glad that I'm still employed. A lot of the other firms in our area, went through major layoffs and salary cuts. Our firm gave out raises and so far, knock on wood, hasn't gone through layoffs.
I'm also thankfurl David. He can be a handful at times but the look on his face when I showed him his new Thomas the Train DVD was priceless. He smiled ear to ear and said "tank-em peep peep". Which in David language means thank you for the thomas movie. (now I gave him the DVD early, it was a Christmas present) because I need to have a conference call and need him to be quiet).
I'm thankful for my family, they are really supportive and there is very little drama in our family.
I am thankful for my husband, even though sometimes I want to punch him in the nose, I love him.
I am thankful that after a really long struggle I am finally pregnant (and knock on loads and loads of wood) this pregnacy has been relatively smooth and I am praying it stays that way.
I am thankful my husband and I are employed in this economy.
Dear Nest, you just pissed me off! I just wrote that whole post and then you decide to fvck up on me so I have to do it all over again?! Why do you have to be such a pain in the a$$?
Sincerely, Angry Nestie
Dear Derick's parents, Let me start by saying you are not parents more like a sperm donor and surrogate, but you are his parents and would it hurt you to call him every now and then? Especially now during the holidays? You are both psychos and I could care less about you but he just wants a family to want him too. He is not just some pawn you get to use whenever it's convenient for you. You both make me sick and I hope you choke on your Christmas dinners!
With love, your super pissed daughter-in-law
on that note...
I'm thankful for my family. We drive each other crazy but at least we are able to have a daily relationship and still be able to stand each other.
I'm thankful for my husband who was having a bad day yesterday with lots of bad news and yet still stayed strong to support me during my awful day too.
I'm thankful for my job. Yes you drive me nuts too but you put a roof over my head and food on the the table. Lets just hope the rough times we are in right now will pass and 2010 will be better. I know thats asking a lot but I'm trying to stay positive.
Dear Husband, The other day when you took the rest of my pasta for your lunch for work I didn't tell you that Jenny ate part of a piece of the pasta and I put the other half that she didn't eat, but bit back into my bowl because I was done eating and didn't know you would want it to take to work, I feel bad, but not bad enough to tell you because it would have been too late at that point anyways, I figure want you don't know can't hurt you!
you!
Dear Kleenex box that is shaped like a Christmas tree, you made me happy and I am sad you ran out of tissues. I was going to keep you there empty for awhile but then Jeremy put you in the in the recycle bin, sorry about that.
I am so very thankful for my family, thank you for being supportive and loving!
I am thankful to have the best in-laws ever. I love that I get along with MIL and my SIL's.
I am VERY thankful for the baby growing in my belly and I just hope it keeps growing big and strong!
Also for my wonderful husband, he has been awesome during the pregnancy making sure I am taken care of and cooking when I just can't do it!
I'm thankful for the friends that I've acquired over the past few months/years... they've kept my spirits up and encouraged me when I've struggled to smile the past few months.
I'm also thankful for my chiropractor today. He's funny, even when you're in pain, and he's patient so I don't feel like an idiot when he asks me a question and I honestly can't answer. PARTICULARLY thankful today because I just came back and OMG, it felt SO.GOOD.
I'm thankful for Greg's and my life. My family apparently has some serious drama going so that I won't see most of them for the holidays and for once, we're not involved and I can honestly say I know very little of the circumstances. I'm also secretly thankful that the rest of my family is finally recognizing my Dad's ludicrous behavior (which leads to)...
Dear Dad,
I realize you're an old, set-in-your-ways man, but no one should have to live their life based on what YOU would have them do. Telling family off because they're not living exactly how you'd live, how'd you prefer they live, or doing what you tell them to does not make them bad or wrong. Just as you have, we all have to live our own individual lives and make our own choices. Back the eff off, and learn to appreciate what each of us brings to the table instead of trying to pit us against one another for "the golden child" seat. We're all over being in it and have stopped fighting for it.
Your Favorite Daughter (this week or until W does something better)
Dear Power-Tripping CW,
You're not my boss. I don't know how many times I need to tell you this. I don't know how many times our manager needs to tell you this. I don't know how many times our manager's manager needs to tell you this. So don't go crying and biitching when I go over everyone's head b/c I can't taking your shiiit anymore. You're not in charge and no one likes you. Tears won't make it better and it doesn't make me feel bad for you that I "got you in trouble." Don't EVER try to make me look stupid in front of the auditors ever again. That idea backfired on you and now you look like the idiot.
- Your CW who won't put up with it anymore.
However...I am thankful to have a job. And I'm extra thankful that I can find the humor in Power-Tripping CW's drama 90% of the time...but happy hour is getting expensive.
I'm also thankful for the friends I've found over the past few months/years. I'd be lost w/o them.
.: Diary of a Recovering Runner :.
This kind of a springboard from the friends thought, but I am SO GRATEFUL to have the people in my life who get my sense of humor and don't think I'm a total *** for being sarcastic.
I am especially thankful that I have Declan in my life after hearing about Mandy's friend.
I am also thankful that even though my aunt is in serious pain and going to have back surgery in 4 days she'll be able to come to the family Christmas party. This is the one time of year she looks forward to and enjoys spending the time with family so I'm happy she'll be able to come.
