PS...to the creepy ass spiders who seem to be coming into my house, GTFO. Or I will kill you.

Dear spider in my car,

I don't know why you chose to make a web in my car last night, but crawling down my arm while I'm driving is completely unacceptable! I very nearly ran off the road, and I don't know what happened to you.

Sincerely,
Scared of my car now.

Dear hellian children at work,

Kindly quit doing things to piss me off. You know it and I know it. Is it really necessary to steal beads, break others Lego towers, scream and/ or pretend to ignore me when I ask you to do something. It's getting old.

Angrily yours,

Whatsit the frustrated

Dear macaroni in the work cafeteria,

I am coming for you when you least expect it. I am going to eat you and all of your friends (i.e., the free rolls that come with you), because you are tasty and carbtastic, and that is exactly what my nauseated stomach needs right now.

Oddbird

Dear oddbird,

Grab some for me.

With love,

Risscaboobs

Dear Risscaboobs,

I'm on it. I had enough of the macaroni for errrrybody in here.

Regards,

Oddbird

Dear back,

I know the change in hormones can cause you to ache, but come on. I should be able to plant a few veggies in the garden without being in that much pain. Am I going to have to get H to help me plant the rest of the garden? I'm scared at that thought.


Also, dear stomach,

I hate feeling nauseated. So I skipped breakfast today, so what? I didn't wake up until 8:30 and figured it wouldn't matter because I was so not hungry. I took Anchovy to the vet for his annual vax and thought I was going to hurl in the car. I haven't even taken my prenatals yet today. I'm shoving a granola bar down my throat now. I hope you're happy.

Sincerely,

We can garden? I thought I read something that you're not supposed to once you get KU? If we can, I want to plant some flowers!

Wait, what? I've never heard that you can't? Seems like the physical activity would be good for you. Off to Google I go.

I'd love to hear the results of your search. I've never heard of that either and was hoping to get out this weekend to weed.

Well, according to this, you can. You just have to take extra precautions with pesticides and of course, soil that cats might have visited. Also, you shouldn't garden in the hottest part of the day (which isn't great for the plants, anyway, they should be tended early or late) and you should wash everything thoroughly.

These are all precautions I take, anyway. Most of my veggie garden tending is picking off bugs and squishing them and pulling weeds. I don't use chemicals except insecticidal soap once in awhile. And once everything is planted I don't really dig much. So I'll just get H to help with the hard parts and wash my garden gloves.

I hadn't heard of it either so I looked it up. Since the risk is Toxoplasmosis (from cat, bird, other animal feces) - chances are if you're gardening where you've always gardened, you're probably OK. 

Precautions are things you should do anyway: wearing rubber-coated gloves, washing your hands thoroughly before touching your face/eyes/mouth, and washing any fruits/vegetables you grow before eating them. Also watering before working, as it helps reduce the amount of dust you breathe in. 

Outside of toxoplasmosis, you want to avoid aerosol pesticides and the like, but I'd think you'd want to avoid those even if you're not pregnant. Also, of course, leave the heavy lifting to your partner.

Dear friends who I babysat for last night,

Thank you for bringing me a DQ blizzard home as payment. I inhaled that blizzard so fast on my way home. It was perfection. I'll babysit for you anytime, just continue to pay me in DQ.

Love your secretly pregnant friend

Someone on my FB posted that Sonic was doing half priced milkshakes today. MUST.RESIST. But it sounds so good now...

Dear Arthritis,

I know the weather has been a tease and bouncing from warmish to break-your-nipples cold, but if you could not flare up so that I can still do normal human things, like open jars and pick up my baby, I would greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Your Host

YES. I have seen that and I'm sooo contemplating on getting one. Or walking next door to the little diner so I don't have to wait till I get off and spoil my dinner that is going to be a yummy steak.

Dear Giant bloated belly,

Seriously? My pants already don't fit. And I'm trying to HIDE my pregnancy for a while yet. Could you cool it? Come back when you are a real baby bump.

Sincerely,
I don't want to dig out my maternity pants yet

Steak sounds really good too! This is turning into one big peer pressure post. lol

The nearest Sonic is an hour away... DD does sleep well in her carseat...

Dear dogs,
I love you but I don't want to share my gyoza with you so please just stfu and sit down.

Love, mom
Also I don't want you sharing my pillows. I need to move them 18 different places while I sleep and you get grumbly so...learn this already. Xo

[iwantbacon]

Dear House,

Please begin to clean yourself effective immediately. Also, please advise Kitchen that he is now responsible for all cooking. I don't think this is too much to ask.

Respectfully,
Your lazy, tired owner

This could totally be my letter right now. Add in the :There is no need to scream, yell, cry, and pretend not to know your own name when it's time to put on your snow gear. 
Much Love,

My real open letter,

Dear kiddos at school,
Cool your jets. I'm too tired and nauseated to help you get dressed while you are screaming. Also to the 3 year old, kindly please stop screaming and throwing tantrums, it makes the babies cry!
Miss Elliecat

Dear house,
I'm so sorry that you are turning into a whirlwind of mess. I am really trying! Perhaps I will get the kitchen halfway decent today and get to you tomorrow.

Much love,
The one with a sore back from cleaning the classroom 15 times today.

Dear kitties,
I love you but mama's tired of you walking on her bladder, poking at baby squash when mama's sleeping, and putting your paws or tongue in her face. Go bother papa!
Love mama
