Dear DS1,
I know this is a big change. Dropping you off this morning at dc broke my heart. Please adjust quickly! Today and tomorrow are the last days I can pick you up early. You will be on full days after that. PLEASE PLEASE start to like it! I can't handle the torment it is doing to me. I love you and I know if you give it a chance you will make friends and love it!
Hang in there buddy!
Love your broken hearted but sticking to it Momma
Dear DS2's top teeth,
PLEASE pop through already! I can't take the every 2 hour cycle at night all of a sudden again! I want my happy sleeping baby back! 2 week of this bs is enough! You are torturing me & my poor kid! Enough. Come out come out NOW!
Love one tired Momma
Dear DS2,
I love you little buddy! Hang in there. It will be over soon!

Dear New Job,
I am petrified of you! Please go easy on me and let me settle in before you start man handling me.
Thanks,
Lady who's out of practice
Dear NBF
this blows. but I love you
Dear 2010
as with 2009, you can suck a bag of peens. Please let 2011 be SOMEWHAT not as sucky?!?!
spanks.
Dear Nesties
Thanks for being there through thick and thin. I would seriously NOT be a sane person without the laughs, tears, emails, texts, phonecalls, gtgs. I know internet usage is going to become nonexistant soon so I just want to make sure I get this out there! I'll still have my phone (TY DH's job for at least having a majah discount on data plans) so I can text and fb.. but nesting days will be over.
so if we aren't friends on fb and you'd like to know I'm alive and crazy.. just add me 
love
the banananator.
p.s. Leave me out of any gtgs and I'll punch you.
dear 2010,
while this wasn't a "bad" year, it has inculded a lot of curveballs and headaches i could have done without. i won't be too sad to bid you farewell,
kisses,
cheeky
dear 2011,

thanks,
cheeky
dear sore throat/cold thing,

Dear Self,
Please calm down! I know you have been super stressed out the past few months but the stress is seriously gonna make you have a nervous breakdown.
Dear DH,
Sorry for being such a huge b!tch lately. I'm just trying to deal with our life right now and everything that is stressing me out. I will try to be more patient and not let every little thing bother me in 2011.
Love me
Dear Dominic
Mommy loves you soooooo much. I am sorry that you are not feeling well again. It sucks that you get sick every other month. I am happy that we got to spend a lot of time together last week. I can't wait till tomorrow at 1:00 so that I can spend every second with you until I go back to work on Tuesday at 6:00.
Love you lots xoxo
Dear Bank
PLEASE give us an answer as to weather or not you are approving us for this mortgage! We have to close by Friday and not knowing is seriously killing me. I can hardly sleep and eat. If it's a no please stop stringing us along so we can look at a new house.

Dear 2010 -
Except for bringing us beautiful Madeleine and getting me closer to my parents, you can suck it. I won't miss you. Don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out.
- Ready for things to turn around
Dear Nest -
I fear we need to break up. I have too much going on and need to focus on my family and stop letting things on here get me more upset. I will check cooking club things and try to watch for good announcements but my featured recipes tomorrow will be basically it. If we're friends on FB you can follow me there or the blog in my siggy. For those of you who have been supportive this past year - you mean more to me than I can possibly say. I wouldn't have made it without you ladies. I know I'll still chat with many of you on FB/text/email and that means a lot to me. I'm sure I'll pop in here and there but I need to step back for a bit. I wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year and nothing but great things in 2011.
- Hoping for better things

Dear Nesties,
I wish you all a happy and healthy new year. I know that for most 2010 has not been the greatest.

Dear Self,
I have no time for whatever illness is coming my way. I need to stay healthy and get things done. I have a huge to do list to start off the new year and i'm determined to get things done. Please let an early night and some good sleep be all I need.
Thank you,
A crappy feeling me.
Dear Landen,
I know your ears are bothering you but it you don't let mommy put the drops in they wont get better buddy. Also can you please give mommy a break, I know you understand what i'm saying and your just choosing to not listen to me. Mommy is trying to be understanding but feeling like crap is not helping.
Love you,
A tired mommy
Dear Nick,
Thank you for coming home from work the past few night and helping me do a few things i cant do on my own. I know your tired.
Thank you
Me
