Dear DD You were so excited when I told you Friday is your last day of school and not Tuesday this morning. I don't know if you will be this happy next week after seeing both the doctor and dentist at the beginning of the week and then having mommy work camp all week since camps don't start until the following week. Mom
Dear DH Please stop talking about me at therapy and how you can fix me. I don't see your therapist and you two trying to adjust my sleep habits because you want me to stay up late and do "projects" after 8pm doesn't work for me. I'm sorry I'm tired and go to bed when I am tired and if that is 9pm then I will. Wife who needs her sleep PS when I don't get enough sleep I get more headaches which leads to a cranky lady
You are killing me right now. Due to games being rained out we have baseball games Tues, Fri and Sat. Then it is dance recital week, so we have rehearsals Wed, Thurs and the recital on Sat. We are not going to baseball on Sat because I just can't deal with it.
Dear DS, I am glad that you are so excited about your last day of school today. Tomorrow summer camp starts, hopefully it will be fun for the summer. Love, Mom who is excited to hang with you after school today
Dear DD, I am sorry that writing your name on something you wanted to take to daycare caused a meltdown this morning. Please chill. Love, Mom who needs you to chill just a little bit
Dear Work, This is supposed to be my slow time of year. Why are things so crazy? Signed, Tired
Dear neighbor friend, Totally appreciate that you want to get together with the kids on weeknights when it's nice out. But you get out of work at 2 PM. I don't even leave my office until 4:00 or 4:30 to then drive half an hour home. I'm not overly motivated to then head straight to a play date after picking up the kids. Dinner, showers, chill time, we have a lot to fit in before bed. Kind of surprised you can't take that hint since I turn you down almost every time. Signed, Tired working mom
Dear guy I've been seeing, We're probably gonna have to call it quits, huh? It's been really fun hanging out with you, but you seem like you've got some baggage going on that I don't really want to deal with right now. I'm looking for fun and casual at this stage. Signed, No clue how to break this off nicely
Thanks for the excuse to take a few days off. Sorry you'll have to spend them waking up at the ass crack of dawn with my kiddos slipping into your bed and boring kid activities, but hopefully we'll make up for it with fun times, good food, and some scenic excursions.
Signed, The one who thinks you live too far away.
PS: You *totally* want to go to the daycare BBQ on Friday night, don't you? Because DD is convinced you do. CONVINCED. "IT'S GONNA BE THE BEST TIME EVER!" Sorry.
Dear librarychica, Did you decide to day drink alone? Not judging. Applauding from a distance.
It’ll be 6:30! So not day drinking! But yes, I am solo happy houring. Husband may get free early and join me there, he may not, but either way there’ll be wine and appetizer dinner.

Seriously, though, they’re so full of excuses. “I have to get my kid from camp!” “I have a conference call with people in Asia!” “I have 4 kids and my husband works nights and I just don’t think leaving the 10yo in charge is a great idea.” 😉😉😉😉

Dear DH,
"Doing the dishes" does not mean only doing some of them and then stacking the newly washed dishes on top of the dry ones in the drying rack. If I have to spend almost as much time doing more dishes (lunch stuff, etc.) after you're done, then it's not really helping if it isn't helpful. And also making a stack of dishes for the dishwasher, right on top of the dishwasher, and not bothering to unload the clean dishes from the dishwasher so you can put the dirty ones in, is also not helpful.

Dear WPs,
I had two glasses of wine last night. Two! This morning I woke up with a headache, forgot my work laptop and had to get a loaner and generally do not have my head in the game. I am hours behind and will be working even more during my vacation than already planned. It is like I had a bottle and not two glasses. I deeply regret this entire morning.
Hypothetically, say you decided to give a 4th kid a go and you and DH just turned 38 and 43. Say you also would love to have another girl due to having one girl and two boys already (but of course the primary priority is just a healthy baby...). Would you try for a girl - by timing sex a bit further out from ovulation - or just have sex as often as possible due to your ages? Asking for a friend
Signed, Yes, I know I’m insane to want to do this again

Do it! Haha I don’t put much stock in that stuff but if you feel like being creative the first month you try....
Report back and let us know if you end up with a girl so we can do a scientific experiment of 1 person.

I say your friend should time it for a few months.
Because I have a brain, I can figure out that all representatives are still busy. Telling me that every five seconds just makes me want to kill someone.

sdlaura - DS was conceived under those terms - opposite worked - first boy for me. I was technically not even eligible but DH was doing 7-14 day work trips which wasn’t ideal for TTC. (So he was home on a Sunday and I didn’t ovulate for I think 6-7 days and ... we have DS). I was tracking and am totally certain of dates, was really disappointed with EWCM too late; but ... it worked and I was shocked when I tested.
Thanks ladies! Definitely not foolproof, but I guess animal studies show a 50% chance goes to like 70% or something for a girl if timed out a little further. All 3 of my kids were conceived by lots of sex around O and ended up as one girl and two boys. I think you’re all right that I could try timing it a few days out for a few months and switch to more frequent if it’s not happening.
