Stop sending me pictures of you as a toddler to show me how similar you at DD look at the same age. No one else agrees with you and I don't really care. Stop setting up a room for DD in the hopes that I'll send her down there to see you because she will never stay with you without me. Stop telling me when is the best time to visit you because I can't afford to take a vacation, even if you help pay for the travel and lodging. I can't afford to take time off work. Stop guilting me about not being able to visit you. Your son has no job and was able to visit? Hey, that's cool, he's got a new girlfriend that for some reason doesn't mind footing the bill. Oh, and he has no responsibilities to speak of. Stop. Just fucking stop.
DH, Yep, I am still pissed that you waited weeks to book our Hawaii trip and we now cannot go because the dates are not available. Signed, Wife who was promised a great trip this year five years ago and instead will take another road trip to the coast
Dear self, Here's your pep talk. You got this. Your house is 90% clean, laundry is done, meals are planned. You can handle the next few weeks of work craziness. I have faith in you. Signed, Me (with coffee)
Dear kids, I really, really hope that "No stick beds" (aka not cribs) are a good enough reward to kick your potty training butts into gear. We're so close to totally trained, let's stop with the set back days, ok? Love, Momma
WORK, damnit. It's great that you gave us a schedule, it would be greater if you showed up. Seriously, wonderfully great. Our house is cold and I miss having a nearby bathroom to use.

Dear coworker, While I understand that you are "just covering" for another coworker, you still have to actually cover. Sitting at a desk, complaining about the work you are not doing is not actually "just covering"....it's just sitting.
Can you grow like a normal child? I'm sad that you've decided to skip size 2T in shirts and go straight to 3T. Damned long torso, sorry you inherited it.

Dear Hair I really liked you the day I lef the salon.Unfortunately you have refused to look even close to how it did then. I don't understand you. I bought all new products and gadgets. I cannot for around for 2 weeks straight with a failure on my head. It's making me sad. Give me a good hair day please. smooches- Lady with a mess on her head.
Dear DH - Thank you for taking today off with sick DS. I have taken 3 days off the past couple weeks and I really cannot take another just yet if avoidable. I appreciate you acknowledging that. Also, thank you for taking him to see the doctor today. I am trying to deal with the fact that this is the first time I haven't gone to a dr appointment (I should be jumping for joy over this, but instead mom guilt). Thanks for being a team player. Your loving wife
Dear all winter sicknesses - Please leave my babies alone! I am sick of sick! DS2 couldn't even get fully over croup before getting whatever he has now. Go away! Signed - annoyed, frustrated, using sick days like crazy, worried mom

Love, Your long torsoed mama
LOL - my DD is a few weeks younger than yours, and is still in some 18 month clothing because she has a super short torso like me. On the other end, DD1 was in 3T at this age not because of height, but because of weight. She was a giant.
Please respond well to today's ablation. I'm tired of 2-week periods every month that are reminiscent of postpartum days. I'm tired of being forced to wear only black. I'm tired of running late to meetings because I literally can't get off the toilet. I'm tired of the crushing fatigue due to blood loss. I'm tired of the cramps that go all the way down my legs to my knees. It would be awfully nice if things stopped all together, but I'd settle for a "normal" period.
Love, Me
Dear Work -
Don't bother me today or tomorrow while I recover. I promise to pay attention to you on Friday.

She fits into 18 month pants waist wise, but not length wise. We've been trying to belt on 2T since the length works, but mostly, she looks ridiculous since they still sag. When she was younger, I remember thinking "ooooooh, based on her percentiles, she'll be tall and slim.." I was not smart enough to realize it meant she wouldn't fit into anything right. *le sigh* just wish she'd stop growing and stay squishy forever.

Dear Brain,
Um, hello? Are you even there? Because you definitely don't work lately. And by lately, I mean since I got pregnant. News flash - not pregnant, please come back. Except...you do seem to show up, and only to act crazy in the middle of the night. Enough with the batshit dreams and thinking about random crap when I should be sleeping. Thanks muchly.
Your human, who is tired and tired of feeling extra stupid recently.

I internally gasped and screamed "NOOOOOOOOOO!" in my head for you. Gah! So sorry!

Speaking of long torsos, short torsos, etc...
Dear baby clothing brands / baby clothes,
Stop being insane. Please magically fit my baby all the time. Please figure out a sizing system across the industry and make it standard, or something. Please lay that shit out there clearly.
Love, Lady going crazy because what size are you really?? And who came up with this??

Dear PM&R Doctor, Call me back. Just F'n call me back. Signed, Mom who doesn't want to ditch you b/c it's so hard to get into these kinds of appointments, but I'm pretty much there.
Dear DH, Um, you didn't mention that DD's PT wants her to go to OT why? She brings it up at the this week's appointment asking if we've made an appointment for an evaluation. I can't do all these appointments by myself, there are too many. I HAVE to be able to send you to one on your own if I'm going to remain employed, and we both know I have to remain employed. Take notes or something! Signed, Not the only one who can take DD to a medical appointment.

Dear me,
You've already cleaned your house. This is your day off from running. Cross your fingers that the kids revel in their afternoon naps. What will you do...?

Dear DH, Thank you for talking to me this weekend about expanding our family. Though we keep circling and can't quite decide which path is best for us, it helps to know we're both approaching it in a like-minded way. I think you are a phenomenal father.
Love, Your wife and the mother of your one and possibly more child(ren).
Dear DD Yes, mommy can have a birthday too! She told me last night that I don't get a birthday only her and daddy do. When I asked why she was like because we get parties and you don't so only we get birthdays. Sad Birthday Mommy
Dear H Yes I had a meltdown last night. Putting clean dishes inside dirty dishes isn't helpful and when you said you didn't see the stuck on food was the topper. Not asking daycare teachers questions leads to me stressing (DD-they checked my head for bugs today) and when I ask you what and you go they don't talk to me is a cop out. Also how hard is it to wish your wife happy birthday before you leave in the morning. Stressed out Wife
Dear Mom Thank you for bailing me out and picking DD of from school starting next week. But can you leave off the lectures on how H is messing everything up. I want you to help me out so I stop stressing about DD being okay I don't need the added stress of you lecturing me each day. Hope this works out better Daughter

Awe. Finally a sweet one
Hahah yes it's a rare occurrence these days in my house, but I had to acknowledge it.

I'm a day late, please forgive me...
Dear winter,
I'm really tired of walking outside each day only to be hit in the face with air so cold it hurts instantly. I'm ready for spring and some warm weather! Please move along. I promise I won't miss you.
