Dear STBXH, I think it's Karma that you sprayed yourself with bear spray yesterday. Signed, Still laughing
P.S. Don't cause our pending house sale to fall through because you're still blaming the previous owners. We bought the house in 2010. We can't blame them anymore.
Dear Frontier Communications, Please be able to provide internet for me tomorrow. Comcast has failed me and I shouldn't be surprised. Signed, Missing WiFi
Please hurry!!! I want to be on the beach! I want to order a Miami Vice from the bar! I want to eat all the food! I want to relax!
Signed,
Impatient traveler.
Dear DS,
You can't be in party mode all of the time. You are perpetually bored. You can hang out at home and watch TV like a normal person on a Tuesday. No we are not having people over on a Tuesday. It's Tuesday. You have to work, I have to work , your father is already at work.
Signed Teenage mom.
Early TWERK: DS's appointment went amazing yesterday!! He is on track to grow 5 inches a year. He is almost 5ft 4. That means this time next year we may be looking eye to eye. He has grown 2 inches since the first of March and a 1/2 inch since we measured him in May. They upped the dosage and said that he is doing amazing. He will start passing people this year, and he is expected to grow until at least 18 or 19. He is walking into Jr year with a lot more confidence. At 5ft 4, he is as tall as several others. A lot different than walking in at 5ft even last year.

Dear self,
You need to get your head in the game. It’s a busy week, and it’s only Wednesday.
— You can browse the internet NEXT week
Dear board,
I am on track to meet the charitable giving goal of giving away as much money each year as I stick in my 401K! Since this is probably an awkward thing to bring up in casual conversation, y’all are stuck with it. Proud of me and my husband-persuading abilities.
Dear DD1 - We hope you are having the best time at camp! We miss you, but OMG, it’s so peaceful in our house now. I haven’t yelled since Saturday. DD2 is a different kid when you’re not tormenting her. Please come home with a new attitude and blend back into our peaceful existence. Love, The family
Dear graffiti artist neighbor - I agree that sometimes people go too fast down our street. However, I’m not sure spray painting a message on the street is the way to go. Plus, because of the way you wrote it, people are processing your message as “DOWN SLOW”. I’m not sure it’s going to be as effective as you’d like. Your friendly neighbor who always goes slow down the street
Dear Week Why is it only Wednesday. This week is busy but it seems to be dragging by. Signed need a weekend
Dear DD I'm so glad you are gaining some confidence at the gym this week. Your handstand looked so nice on the low beam last night and Coach J was impressed with your improvement. I'm happy that gym camp is helping plus mom really likes you crashing before 7pm and having to drag you out of bed after 8am because you are exhausted. Mom

Dear body, I know I am not taking care of you the way I should be but dont punish me with a sore throat and canker sores all over my f'ing mouth. I cant help that I've had stitches for 2 straight weeks and an insane work schedule. Once these stitches are out I will prioritize the 445am classes. Can you throw me a bone until Tuesday? Great, thanks! Love, you've been treated way worse!
Dear Sellers, Gimme yo money and we'll still buy your house. Really though, we are going to be completely reasonable and good luck finding anyone else this nice. Signed, we will be legit heartbroken if this falls through.
Dear DH, The way we handle our crazy schedules is incredible. I hope we still like each other if things ever calm down. Love, your wife
You are super awesome and chill. Sorry PNW, but I think I like Maine better. This probably would not be the case in the winter though.
Dear DD- I’m glad to hear you are driving Grandpa crazy with your questions. At least it isn’t me!
Dear DS- I hope you are having a blast. You are smiling in your pictures so fingers crossed.
Dear DH- I love you, but you drive me crazy on a daily basis. We did have a great day hiking despite the misting rainy though.
Dear Grandparents- I didn’t realize you would need a babysitter 3 times while caring for DD. Luckily her uncle and other Grandma can help. Maybe give us a heads up next time.
Dear in-laws extended family- that memorial service was super dramatic. It was very sad and unfair that he died so young. It just felt that you were all complaining about non important things. I get you are going through a hard time but complaining you don’t like mushrooms and one veggie tray had them and then pretending you were allergic (and really aren’t) is a bit much. The paid nurse caregiver putting her woes on the grieving family was also hard. Explain the situation matter of fact and don’t make a non-issue into a problem. Especially since the family complaining did zero work and contributed nothing.

As I lifelong canker sore sufferer, let me tell you what I found that finally works (DS gets them super bad too). Brush daily with the peroxide tooth paste. I hardly ever get one now (knock on wood). Even when I feel one coming on, I will brush extra and it won't last nearly as long.

Dear manager,
Thank you for recognizing my work, effort, and skill set by placing me in the high performer category. Now please don't let me down when it comes to merit increases!
Signed, Happy employee
Dear WPs,
Add me to the "crazy week" list. I have been so busy this week with work and stuff after work, plus so much to do today and tomorrow by noon to get ready to be gone for the weekend, plus working on top of it.
I found out from our cousin that you're mad at me for calling and asking where my 4 and 7 year old are and that they should be home by 9pm!? You missed the real issue where you never called or texted me that you were taking them out to eat after a 7pm soccer game. Yes, that means I'm upset when I don't know where my kids are and I get worried that you aren't back with them when it's going on 9pm. Not to mention the fact that one of them has a severe food allergy so yes, I want to know if you're taking them to a restaurant.
Last time I'll ask you to take them to a game for me....
rere, erinshelley21, On canker sores, I used to have them chronically, like more days with them than without. After finding out I had celiac's disease and going gluten free I get like maybe 1 every few months. I looked it up after I got diagnosed, something like 5% of people with chronic canker sores actually are celiac's. Something to think about if you're having any other issues.
Dear School/Teacher/?? Got DD's report card. Shouldn't it be a red flag to have a child score lower at the end of 2nd grade than they did at the beginning of second grade especially when they scored extremely high in January? I was slightly upset reading through it. How does a kid go 3 (at grade) for fall, to a 4 (above grade) in winter to a 2 (below grade) for spring in the same subject this was in a number of subsets for math and reading. Also the teacher's note wasn't helpful. "DD was such a pleasant student in class and has wonderful problem solving skills". Frustrated Mom who can see just how much DD checked out and just put in the time
WPs Open enrollment for our area is in Feb/March so we are stuck with the school she was going to last year unless we moved which isn't happening. I know part of the issue was her teacher last year as 1st grade teacher was amazing and DD blossomed. I've met both 3rd grade teachers and I like 1 better than the other and we can't request teacher. I got our name on a waitlist for a charter school but that is unlikely as we are number 50 and the school is full. I've looked into online school which would probably work in my off season but would be almost impossible during tax season. I guess I'm just at a loss but now feel like we need to spend the summer doing summer school to make up for the non-learning that was Jan-June at school. 186momx

186momx, I can't remember - but is your DD going to summer camps? If not, maybe you can sign her up for a few that are more interesting? If you want to do "academic" related stuff at home, I found this phenomenal math program called Beast Academy. DS has been loving it.
In terms of teacher placement, I know you can't request for specific teachers, but could you have a conversation with the new teacher (once school starts) about doing a few more special projects? That's what we will be doing for DS. He'll be in the same class, but he'll be given the opportunity to do more in depth reports and projects.
But I feel you on the frustration with inaccurate assessments. DS's last report card had him marked "exemplary" across the board, but then had him marked as Grade 1 (his current grade) for math. DS can do pre-algebra. So we are pretty sure he's not grade 1 in math. We've given up on getting an accurate assessment. He is doing well socially, and we just supplement at home.
Dear Board, Why are you displaying the EXACT sunglasses I bought last night at Warby Parker in an ad? It was an in store purchase. How do you know??
Weirded out working mom
Dear DH, A longer than expected surgery and a reaction to anesthesia that involved copious projectile vomiting, then having to get the car so I could not be with DS, then having to pick up a prescription - while he was puking again - and you didn’t even tell your parents he was having surgery?!?! Idk wtf is wrong with you. Elective travel and then telling me no one was around this week when in fact your parents were??
