Dear headache, You suck. Full blown migraine Monday, lingering migraine hangover and nausea yesterday, and now waking up with a dull headache today? What gives? I'm hovering at that frustrated tears level right now because I have a bunch of stuff I need to get done and I just want to lay down until this goes away. Can you please vacate quickly today and be gone for good? Signed, Ouch
Dear Beau, I swear that the "I have a headache" excuse is legit. Sorry I had to cancel on you last minute yesterday. Also, don't panic. Your concern is sweet, but really, I'll pull through. Migraines are a thing I get. This is just the first really bad one that's actually impacted our plans. Signed, Me
You were not home last night and I had the best sleep. You are going to have to do something about the snoring. Maybe it's the 15lbs you said you put on, because you haven't snored like this since you lost 30 lbs 10 years ago.
Y'all gonna make me lose my mind. Yesterday was day #2 of kids being back to school after 2 weeks off, so everyone has to work to get back in a routine (parents included). I don't need an email this morning to say that DS forgot to correct to problems yesterday, from Monday's homework, and have me sign the form. He was gone from 5:15 until after 9:00 for sports. Yes, he had a little time before he left to work on homework, but he also had to eat dinner and actually relax for a few minutes.

Do you have good headache meds? I use Relpax. Immitrex doesn’t do anything for me but give me heart palpitations and heartburn. So if you’ve tried some and it didn’t work, I recommend asking for a different one. It’s utterly life-changing.
mommyatty, I use Maxalt since it's a dissolvable tablet that doesn't require water to swallow, is fast acting, and doesn't make me drowsy. It got rid of the initial Monday pain but as soon as it wore off at the end of the day I was back in the thick of it. Usually one tablet is enough to kick a migraine completely for me. This one is just lingering. I think I might be in the throes of an autoimmune flare up this week, as I'm having other symptoms too, so it's probably due to that.
I HATED imitrex. It knocks me out so much that I'm useless for the entire rest of the day. I immediately have to go to bed and can't function at all if I take it. It almost made me feel worse because of the drowsy/loopy feelings.
You mentioned you were working on a title change yesterday. That'd be great. Make sure it also comes with a salary change and not an excessive amount of additional responsibility.
Signed, More money is always good.
Dear universe,
Lay off my coworker, k? The woman has been through enough and she doesn't need a new autoimmune disease and all it's symptoms in addition to stage 4 cancer.
Signed, Still grateful that she's still kicking and around to complain.
WPs For those of you with long hair how do you style it on a daily basis? I'm getting tired of my messy bun. 186momx
Dear DD's Teacher I'm not surprised DD struggles saying the "R" sounds. What I am surprised about is that this is her 4th year of school and you are the only teacher who has noticed this and just noticed it with this weeks spelling words. I can't tell the difference since it is the 1 sound I never was able to get so it sounds fine to me. Go ahead and talk to the district speech pathologist but I really doubt she will get services at school with just missing one sound. From the past student who got 8 years of speech services through the district but I also wasn't pronouncing 95% of the alphabet correctly. Not hopeful parent
I have signed up for Noom. I like it so far. I will keep you updated if I am still using it a few months from now. Any other users? Also worked out 8 out of 8 days this year! One was a true stretch recovering day, but still made time for it.

I vary it a lot. French braid, higher pony, lower pony, half back in a clip, down (straight or wavy), tighter bun, side braid, little French braid on top.

Dear Mom at DS's School,
I really appreciate the birthday invite. DS really likes your son, so I'm glad you've invited him. But does the party have to be Friday at 5:00 at a place half way across town?
Signed, Slightly irritated
Dear Principal at the Potential New School,
You seem so nice and on top of things. You also seem genuinely excited about DS. Here's hoping that the shadow day goes well.
Signed, Hopeful
Dear Self,
You know you have to do this for DS. I know you don't like change, but he is not thriving. Having him advance leaps and bounds during every school break because he is not wasting 8 hours a day at school not learning anything is not a good solution.
Dear mediocre employee- You are OK ish, but you aren't great. You are pretty much the weakest link in the department, and someone has to be it. But it's just funny that you keep asking for more hours and now asking for more pay. I get it, you don't make much, and I will ask for you, but at the end of the day you will leave because you are that type of person that will leave. I am surprised you stayed this long to be honest. But in the spirit of recruiting and training sucks, I will try to work with you. It's just easier to advocate for my rock stars because I am far more passionate about them due to them being rock stars.
186momx , my hair is always down unless I'm exercising.
I'm a little past shoulder length (IDK if that's considered long.. it's long for me) and I'm the same for work. Weekends it ends up in a ponytail more frequently.
186momx, Usually I straighten it. Some days I curl it if I have time. On weird hair days, I may pull it back off my face with pins. On really bad hair days I try to fancy up a ponytail.

One more...
Dear DD,
How are you only 1 month away from turning 9?? Your last year in the single digits! Wow, that went fast. Please stay your generally sweet self and don't become a sassy tweenager anytime soon.
Dear Oregon Great require all these form to need to be filed electronically through your picky website by Jan 31st. I go into start and your picky website isn't ready to except 2019 forms. Ugh I want to get started on this task that you have just made more complicated. Tax lady who likes her paper payroll reports vs your idiot revenue online system
Dear Week How can it only be midday Wednesday? It feels like late Friday afternoon... Tired with a headache brewing
Thanks WPs. I did a simple braid today which now looks like a fizzy mess so I need to fix it. I'm great at doing other people's hair but I really suck at dealing with my own.
My style of the day is a braided bun half up. It sounds more time consuming than it was. Also I realize I have more gray hair and need to do a whole head dye rather than keep touching up my roots.
