Re: open letter wednesday
dear rain,
wtf? i thought it was supposed to be nice and sunny and mild today. Gary Ley lied. Again.
dear March Madness,
I am SO EXCITED that I am home for the first round this year and I cannot wait for you to begin tomorrow (the 4 play in games don't count, sorry minor majors!). Benjamin, DH, basketball and bros. YAY!!
dear Red Sox,
Only 2 weeks and 2 days until Opening Day!!! Hope springs eternal! Warmer weather, baseball, summer, and fun is on the way! YAY!
dear house,
How about you magically figure out a way to put in a second heat zone, fix your driveway, fix your back steps and fix your front walk. Oh and put in a fence, all without costing me a penny. Deal? Deal!!
dear Benjamin,
Sleeping through the night!! Napping in your crib!! I'm amazed!! We have died and gone to baby sleep heaven, that is for sure. You rock my socks and I can't wait to cuddle with you for the next 4 days. Mommy DOES NOT want to go back to work next Monday. I am going to miss you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. I love you!!
dear Work,
F. U. Also, stop telling students I'll be back next week, they are flooding my email already.
dear job I interviewed for last week,
Please hire me. You sound like a dream.
Please!
Dear House,
I love you and the area where we live, but PLEASE expand yourself or send the money for us to do so. You are too TINY for our little family and I'd like to have places to put things so I'm not tripping over everything all the time.
Can't wait for your spring flowers to bloom.
xoxo
Dear MIL,
I try REALLY hard to like you, I really do. I've just come to realize that I will always love you, but probably won't like you very much. Hope that's okay!
Love, the only DIL who does anything for you
Dear Liza's cold,
GET AWAY FROM MY POOR POOR BABY!!!
Dear Owen,
Please find a way to like your crib. I cannot hold you for all of your naps, and bed time every night. Your bouncy seat and swing are for daytime entertainment, not for all day sleeping. I would really love it if you would just close your eyes and go to sleep nice and peacefully. You are such an awesome sleeper, in 5-6 hr stretches, but you're killing it with this no bed nonsense!
Love, Mommy
Dear Domenic,
You are making such good progress with talking in the 2 weeks Mommy has been trying to get you caught up. Keep up the good work! I love you!
Love, Mommy
Dear Vince,
Thanks for being so understanding about that thing last night. I appreciate it, and I guess I underestimated you. Sorry about that. I will try to have more faith in the future.
Wifey.
Dear Empty Uterus,
Tell me I will get used to not being pregnant soon, so that I can try to get back to regular me without feeling like I don't know how to be me w/o carrying a baby. It has been sooooo long that I've shared my body with a little person, and I'm really missing it right now. I just feel like something is missing...and hope that it doesn't take too long to get used to the idea that i'm just me again (whoever that is...)
Thanks.
dear self,
good for you for getting to the gym three days in a row. keep it up!

dear dr. f,
thank you so much for making last friday's root canal as pain-free as possible. dr. p was right, you are great.
thanks,
nervous dental patient
dear cigna,
THANK YOU for covering 100% of root canal. i have enough financial stress at the moment so only having to deal with a co-pay was a big relief.

appreciative customer
dear melissa,
i agree, these play-in games for march madness totally don't count. they keep saying "first round" and every time, josh all but yells at the tv "it's not the first round!" enjoy introducing benjamin to march madness!

dear duke,
i am so sick of you winning everything. i will be pulling for one of these underdogs to knock you out of the tournament ASAP!
kisses,
syracuse fan
Dear Sarah,
I love your letter to your MIL because it's exactly how I feel about mine. To the T!
Smooches!
Angela
Dear Rain Boots,
I guess we'll be testing you out today. Let's hope that both my feet and Shannon's stay dry when we head out to the store later!
Alicia
Dear GD:
Hate you.
Smooches
Me
Dear OB office:
I hate you more then I hate GD. I can not understand why you will make me re-take the three hour test. Seriously, who the hell can take this much time out of work? And I hate that I have no idea who to call to complain and get answers from. Which doctor? I've seen four different ones so far!
-Disgruntled patient
Dear Baby:
You are THISCLOSE to being an only child. You are so lucky I love you. :P
Love, Mommy
Lindsay,
What?! You have to retake the 3 hour?? Did you fail? Why would they have you retake the darn thing?!?! Seriously, who has 3 hours to spare AGAIN! Ugh.
Hugs,
Kristen
EXACTLY!!!!!! Michele and Pam both told me that it's normal to re-take it, but seriously I failed the one and the three, lets move on already. I've been crying on and off since, so once I am calm enough I will call the doctor.
Dear Life
Apparently it's a 1 step forward 10 step back kind of routine. Get my car, get all squared away.. go to the new place and BAM! ceiling is completely wet and leaking everywhere. All that work went to waste, everything has to come down.
I'm not happy.
at. all.

Dear MFH
WHEN I tell you if you aren't going to drive you need to keep K up so he won't fall asleep in the car it was not code for TAKE A FARKING NAP. Yep, I'll punch you every single time I hear a snore beginning and sing in YOUR face whilst trying to keep the kid up
smooches
your wife.
I had to re-take it as well, but I only failed one of the draws each time. They still treated me as GD, whereas some doctors say failing only one is ok. It's totally inconsistent and it makes no sense to me. Sorry you have to take it again.
