It's Wednesday right?
Dear DD:
I can't believe you are 4! How did that happen? You still feel like a baby to me. But, I promise that I'll pay more attention and treat like your own little person; and I'll try harder to embrace all your girliness.
Signed, Adoring mom
Dear DH,
When you said that you were starting to get discouraged from the job search, I didn't realize that you've applied to only 6 jobs in total, 2 of them being this week. I'm trying really hard not to micro-manage your job search, and you said that you want to do this on your own. But dude, that's really not great.
You are very awkwardly trying to recruit me. Maybe it's because you're doing it via text, maybe it's because you're just awkward at it in general.
I'm pretty happy where I am. But your current company has always been my backup job. When former boss headed up your division, he met with me every few months, bought me lunch, and told me that when I'm ready, they have a job for me. I know he's spoken well of me to people who matter there, including the CEO. The woman who took his place loosely told me the same thing at his retirement party. So don't make it weird, k? Just buy me lunch, try to sell me on coming over, and don't make it awkward. It's always good to keep doors open.
Signed, Our niche is too small to be awkward with people.

Dear MIL,
Thank you for getting the kids on the bus this morning. I am super curious, though, as to why you were driving your dad's car and not your own. Now I'm wondering if you did end up selling the brand new car you bought last fall, because you can't afford it? I wonder that, because it would be unusual for a new car with probably 5,000 miles to need overnight maintenance... Unless you let your dad borrow your car for some reason?
Dear BFF I can't wait to see you Saturday. Why is time going so slowly? Hoping your drive here with 3 kids and a H who can't sit in the car for any length of time goes by faster than me sitting in my office is. Counting down the days Me
Dear DD You are driving me crazy and I don't really know why. I know you are ready for school to be over but you have another 3 weeks to go. I'm not really looking forward to summer as we have way too much together time so this whole we keep rubbing each other wrong thing needs to get figured out ASAP. Dreading summer Me
Thank you for coming. We had a great, productive discussion. You are all super intelligent people. However, you do know what RSVP means, correct? I am glad you were there, but it would have been nice to have prepared for 6xs as many people.
Signed, 3 RSVPS with 19 attendees.
Dear DD,
Conditioning is the worst part of any sport. Just hang in there. You need to play this year to get to know people and get used to the school. The coach said you were great. You are not missing out on anything fun, it is over at 9 AM. No, sleeping is not a fun activity.
Dear rere, DD Your practice time sounds so nice. Yes waking at 5am sucks but you can come home at 9 take a nap and still spend the rest of the day at the lake, hanging with friends, going to the movies, etc. Just think it could be from 3pm-7pm which would stop all of you girls from hanging out and doing anything with the rest of your friends as practice would be in the way. Signed former athlete that had the 3-7 practice time but also swam daily doubles all summer so had the 6-9 practice in the morning on top of the afternoon practice. Non swim friends didn't get why I was never free.
WPs I've been really bad about RSVPs lately. But part of it is that DD isn't giving me the invites. She doesn't want to go to the kids party so she just doesn't give me them. I find them after the party buried in her backpack. Feeling Guilty for not RSVPing
As a direct result of your actions last weekend, softball is canceled for the rest of the season. You can’t possibly scream at me any more than you already have, so do your worst. You still can’t go.

Dear coworker/trainer, Do not feel guilty about taking time off to spend with your daughter who is from OOT. I can work on my own and if I get stuck, I know who to reach out to for help. Signed, Time to cut the training strings
Dear moving boxes, Can you magically unpack yourselves and organize my house? Signed, Still living out of boxes
186momx, She loves sleep more than anyone I know. She really feels it is ruining her summer not to sleep until 10. I am SUPER thankful not to have to go to practice at night and get it over in the morning.
Stop giving me a guilt trip about not wanting to send DD out to you this month for a week to see her cousin who is going to stay with you. I gladly would have, but no one had any idea of when she was coming. We both work full time, spots in camps fill up fast. So WE ARE REGISTERED AND PAID. For camps AND extra classes like swim. You told us YESTERDAY that cousin is showing up Tuesday.
Signed, Yes, DD would LOVE to see her cousin. But why do I need to feel bad for having my shit together?
ETA: I suggested sending her out on a Saturday night and they drive her back on Friday during the day and drop her off at school during non commute hours, but they don’t like that idea.
Stop making me feel bad for making you clean out my office/ the guest room and bath. They’re your friends. You invited them. And they puked all over it. I cleaned the other bathroom that they funked up, not to mention doing washing of the sheets, blankets, and towels they used. And I had to bleach all of the kids’ toys because their kids were licking them!! So buck up, grab some bleach, and get scrubbing.

mae0111, you are a saint. Those people should never be allowed to be overnight guests at your home again! (I couldn't believe it could be worse, until I read the bolded part.)
