Open letter Weds!

Dear Atlanta,

You are not convenient to any beaches. I suggest you switch places with Tampa. First you kidnap our friends and godchildren with your good jobs and whatnot, then you don't even have the decency to be nearish a nice beach that is also nearish to central Florida so we can have an easy joint vacation! The nerve.

Many thanks,
Woman trying to limit drive time PS -- does anyone know of the Ga barrier islands are nice?




Dear DD1,

Keep feeling better. It's so sad when you're sick, though it does make bedtime easier.

Love,
Mommy

Dear DD2,

Your sis was mostly sleeping through the night at this point.

Yawn.

[cathain]

librarychica There are definitely some nice spots in the barrier islands. Savannah & Tybee Island are also a really nice possibility.

Dear DD,

Awesome job potty training! I knew that girls would be easier than boys. (oh, and you "training" your babydoll was adorable.)

Love,
Mommy

Dear dog,
Please have normal levels in your bloodwork today so we can keep weaning you off the prednisone and maybe, just maybe, you won't need to pee every 2 hours.

Dear Coworker,
Please stop being so crazy. After 5 years you would think I would be used to it.

Dear friend with a newborn,
Stop sending me pictures that give me baby rabies. Now is not the time for that!

Love,
Mommy and coworker who needs a good nights sleep to deal with life right now

PS- librarychica, we went to a wedding on St. Simons Island and had a great time exploring the area

Dear DH,
Yet again, you've dropped the ball on being a grown up in this relationship. Raising concerns over the dr. appointment for DD2 as I'm walking out the door does not make me feel confident in your ability to be aggressive with this specialist who is blowing us off. Advocate for our kids! Also, call the damn back up babysitter. You're making me look bad when I have to ignore our nanny's request for a schedule change.
Signed,
I'm working way too many hours to deal with your BS lately

Dear work,
I can't sustain this shit. Remember when I said I didn't want a raise if it meant I give up family time? Ya, you can take that money back now.
Signed,
I've been here til 7 and working weekends for a week straight now.

Dear contractor,

Finish. Or just do a full day's work so I can see some progress.

Dear Wednesday,

So. Here we are (again). [Cue Afternoon Delight. Dim lights.]

I'm looking forward to you being stripped bare this afternoon with only the light from the TV shining on your naked air. Kids will be asleep. It's my day off from working out...

You are becoming my favorite day of the week, you sexy thing. Maybe we should go exclusive?

Make me yours,
Giddy with anticipation

ETA: before anyone vomits about what I'm suggesting here - it's just an afternoon off with the TV (Parenthood on Netflix). Maybe folding some laundry. Maybe wrapping some bday presents.

[twinmomma]

Dear somebabiesmom
That sounds like heaven. I raise my cup of coffee to you - Bravo for finding a perfect balance in the middle of the week!
Love,
All the working moms

[kendraj426]

DD,
You have been amazing with fending off any bugs from daycare this week. Please stay healthy so I can go to my friend's baby shower this weekend!
Love, Mom

DH,
Attending a baby shower with DD will not be relaxing even with your mom there. The deal was you'd bring her for 15 minutes so the mom-to-be can say hi, then go hang out with the dad-to-be. Just because your mom wants to spend more time with her doesn't mean that I'm going to be absolved of taking care of DD if she's at the party. And do you really expect her to sit still for 3 hours in a restaurant? She barely sits long enough to feed her dinner at night then wants to be crawling around playing, not cuddled on someone's lap.
Sincerely,
Your disgruntled wife who wants you to tell your mom 'no' once in a while

Dear Weather
You suck. It was freezing and windy at soccer last week, we had two ice days and now it is snowing. Bring on spring.

Seriously over it

[CoverGirl82]

Dear DD,

I'm sorry you wake up and get scared at night, but seriously this needs to stop. Every night is too much. Mommy and Daddy need uninterrupted sleep. If you would follow my suggestions to snuggle your stuffed animals and think about happy things you've done, I think that would help. Anyways, I'm really hoping this is a short-lived phase.

Love,
Your tired mommy

[northerngal]

DD,

Please stop waking up every morning at 4 to poop and play. I know you can sleep through the night!

Pooped Mama

Dear DH,

Thank you for not getting mad when I had too much wine and told you exactly how I feel about your good for nothing mother.

Signed,

Sorry - but not really.

Dear stomach virus,

FU

Dear DH,

Than you for fixing and painting the bathroom walls. Having the toilet and sink in the middle of my already small kitchen is pretty interesting though.

Dear DS,
Please start listening to mommy and daddy. You used to do so well, and now not so much.

Dear DD,
I realize it is the age, but does 50 percent of everything you say have to be a whine? Between your whining and tantrums and DS's not listening and tantrums in the oddest stuff and stomach virus I have zero patience.

Dear Weather -

You're so beautiful today!!! Please stick around!! I never thought I'd say that 30 degrees and sunny was beautiful, but it feels like spring compared to the -6 temp I woke up to yesterday!

Love, Me

Dear Work -

I surrender. I simply can't take any more finger pointing and accusations directed at me or my team. I'm doing the absolute best that I can.

Signed, Employee

Dear Boss -

It did not go unnoticed that when your pet got her new title, you congratulated her on her promotion. When I got it last year (apparently despite your objections), you said that it wasn't really a promotion, but more a perk of seniority. Interesting, since Pet has been here for 2 years to my 14. What kind of seniority does she have, exactly? Way to motivate your staff.

Signed,

Dear Thursday,

You are beginning to look particularly sucky.

Dear H,

I understand that you work at 6am. I think it is great that you're working at all. That is a step in the right direction. However, when you run the blender at 5am you wake our beautiful slumbering angel.

Hey lady in the parking garage,

Every day is the same gig... You have to have your access card to get in. Stop fumbling to find it, causing others behind you to get irrationally aggravated.

Thanks,
Your fellow parking peer

Dear College to be Unnamed -

Thank you for intervening with my serious sucky student teacher. I so appreciate your quick action, and the fact that you are terminating his placement here asap. I feel extremely supported and thankful to have had that!

Signed,
Very Grateful Teacher

Dear DH -
Thank you for listening to all of my whining about said student teacher and also being extremely supportive. I feel extra lucky to have you!

Dear pregnancy cravings,
Stop. Just stop.
Nobody should want or actually consume this many frozen pizzas, ever.
It's not good for anyone involved, including my jeans that already hate me right now due to bloat. Please move along and leave me alone.

Sincerely,
It's too early to pull out the maternity pants!

[liziz]

Dear work,

You used to be a nice, quiet place I could go to relax, eat with both hands at once, and generally avoid the craziness of caring for an infant for 40 hours a week (and get paid!!). The last couple of crazy weeks have made being home with a baby seem more appealing. I don't like being this busy!

[gamora24527]

Dear Failing Coworker,

Thanks for letting me know you are looking for a new job and plan to be gone before I get back from maternity leave.

Sincerely,
Relieved Supervisor

Dear Uterus,

Stop with the contractions already. The baby is coming out on Friday. You can just chill until then.

Dear Dog,
I know you are 13, and it's hard for you to have control, but please don't poop on my decorative rug. Poop ANYWHERE ELSE.

Dear H,
Quit being a hero. Everyone works hard and takes care of kids.

Dear Me,
Please start working out. STAT.

Dear Mother Nature,

F-You! No more snow!

Stop half assing everything you do.
