Please quit toying with my emotions, you are dragging me through the mud and I don't particularly like it.
Unhappily, Down In The Dumps
Dear Clifford,
Food aggression doesn't suit you well and you are proving to be stubborn to any training related to said aggression, I promise you will get to eat, you don't need to run me down.
Signed, The lady you almost trampled
Dear J,
You really need to quit being selfish with A on the weekends she visits her dad, he and I came to an agreement about custody before she was born and we've both stuck to it without involving the courts, your actions are going to push him into involving the court if you keep acting like you are more of a parent to her than he is. Yes, sometimes we would like to trade weekends or make other arrangements that don't fit our normal schedule but the parent that is supposed to have her during that time has a right to say no and no one (read: YOU) don't need to be bitter about it.
Love, The Peace Making Middle Person aka Your Wife
Dear Open Letter Friday, You are magic. I wrote that I was sad about failed placements and a few hours later I was bringing a newborn home from the hospital! I believe! I believe!
Dear Universe, Thank you for trusting me with this tiny baby. Thank you for letting me experience what I have been missing all these years. I get to ask newborn questions,be sleep deprived and figure out why boy diapers leak in weird places. I know he isn't mine and this is temporary but I am so thankful that,for just a little while,I get to be part of this club. It's nice not to be on the outside looking in.

Thank you for the great two days we got to spend all to ourselves. It's not very often that I have that much time with you. I know my new job takes away a lot of hours from you and for that I am sorry. I promise it isn't forever but right now it's what is necessary for all of us.
Love, A mom that feels absent
Dear M,
Thank you for all the wonderful things you do with the boys. Jacob is almost crawling because you encourage him on the floor daily and Sam is always so happy when you sing and play with him. The boys and I are so lucky to have you.
