Dear DS, Thank you for not making a big deal about wearing clothes over your PJs to school. That's great that you're excited about PJ day, but it's much too cold to just go to school with only your PJs on. Love, Mom
Dear wind, I'm glad we didn't get the gusts they were predicting, but you're still cold. Signed, Glad I didn't lose power
Dear Weather Thank you for not snowing on the valley floor or even in the lower hills surrounding us thus insuring everyone got to go to school today. Mom who needs to work her full day today
Dear clients Will you please send me payroll. Sitting around waiting for work to come in just sucks Me
Dear Friends Thanks for not getting mad we won't be coming over for the weekend due to the pass conditions. I think you both being sick as dogs is helping you not be cranky. Feel better M family
Dear Me Use this 4 day weekend wisely and deep clean the house. It looks like a hurricane went through the whole house. Me, myself, and I
Dear XH, You are just infuriating. You texted me this morning about a lost school folder that was left at my house. Turns out, it was in her back pack the whole time. Then you texted me about a lost jacket. Did you check the back pack before dropping her off with no coat? NOPE. Guess where the "lost jacket" was last time you texted me about this and made me go buy another one a month ago? IN THE BACK PACK. I am ready to scream. I am not made of money because you suck. Signed, UGH
Dear beau, I'm really happy that you're going to come meet my two BFFs and their husbands this weekend. And next weekend you're coming to my work party! I know this is a huge step and I really appreciate it. I'm totally willing to meet your people too. Ask away! Signed, Grateful for you!
So long. I'm using up the last of my rewards for a cookie AND a free sandwhich. I know my coworkers complain that your food is "meh," but I've liked you over the last 12 years. It's going to be weird without you.
Signed, Need to figure out a new option for second breakfast and occasional lunches.

Dear power,
Thank you for staying on so far, despite the wind gusts. Please stay on the rest of the day/night.
Signed, I have a lot to do today and it all requires the electricity staying on
Dear MIL,
Thanks for coming to hang out with the kids tonight while DH and I go to dinner and also meet some friends for a few drinks. Based on what SIL said about you snooping through our bills, though, I've set a bit of a trap made of clear tape to see if you get curious after the kids go to bed (if we're not home by then). And then I hid all the tape so you can't "fix" it. I'm hoping that you won't snoop so that my trust in you is improved.
I will call the vet on Friday and make your appt for Monday. Please do not kick the bucket before then. Especially not while we are away for a mere 24hrs this weekend. We all love you and are sad it is your time to go; do not make it more traumatic for DD. I think it’s a fair ask in exchange for all the cat vomit on our various couches over the years.
Thank you for having this game DS said tonight “Santa is going to bring.” Because this game isn’t ANYWHERE including Amazon. Going to Target at 9:30 tonight and managing to snag the last one, and getting $15 off of it to boot, might be the highlight of my momming career thus far.
Thank you for being the one who turns off all the lights and locks the doors every night. Sorry I just basically sprinted up the stairs so I wouldn’t have to do it.
Love, Wife Who Goes to Bed First to Avoid Turning Out the Lights

I’m going to need an update on the potential snooping!

So we got home too early for any snooping to occur. The kids were still downstairs in the living room when we got home around 8:30 (which was fine, we told them the didn't need to go get ready for bed until 9:00). If/when there's another opportunity, I'll try it again and let you know the results!
covergirl82, you should probably plant something innocuous but incriminating.
My friend's mom did that when they went out of the country for two weeks and left her and her brother at home. They threw a huuuuuge party and cleaned up everything perfectly. Trash disposed of off premises, etc. Got caught because mom had planted a bubble gum wrapper under the couch and a bottle cap in a potted plant.
I would go the opposite route. Put a note written in Sharpie in the drawer that says “Smile! We installed security cameras in this room.” Then let her try to explain her need to be in your office and digging in your drawers.
