Dear town, THANK YOU! Thank you so much for voting to improve our schools. To the 403 people who voted no... you're going to eventually see that this is going to be great. I know we weren't the only residents thinking about getting out of here if the vote didn't pass. Now, if any of you that voted no have a house on a couple acres with a couple of outbuildings that you're not excited about paying property taxes on, I'll go ahead and take that off your hands for you. Love, a girl that's excited she doesn't have to leave her hometown to give her kids a good life
Dear DH, I know you've got mixed feelings on camping for 3 nights but I promise it's going to be fun and worth it. Then you and I get to camp for 2 nights next weekend! We've had a busy few weeks and the next few are just as busy, but let's try to have some fun too. Love, your wife
Dear Bro, I've literally sold my entire office suite out from underneath all of my shit along with 3 other desks, a file cabinet and the fridge. Also made 2 trips to the recycling center and have had to balance getting work done from home while cleaning out the office since you had to cut utilities asap. Now, we are leaving the electricity and gas on. I don't care if the companies usually don't require a deposit if you have a residential account too because I don't want to take any chances should the building not sell before winter gets here. Oh and the lawn care? Got that taken care of too. Now that I'm typing this out, I'm wondering what you've been doing? Signed, your sister who may go postal if you make another comment about us not getting the office shut down.
Dear Work, It's Hospital Week! I want to see my kid. After today, I'm not doing anymore night shift events. Signed, Weary HR Leader
Dear New Neighborhood & Swim Tennis Club Excited & can't wait to join you in a few weeks. Signed, Elated
Dear Son, Hope you love summer camp at your new school. You seem pumped about it. I think I will miss your old school though. Signed, Scared Working Momma
Don't ever come in my office again raging about the morning chit chat because you think YOUR new employee talks too much. You didn't expect me to come back at you, but I did,and I guarantee I would have went to Hr if you pushed me considering you have spent 40 hours out of the last 3 weeks talking to everyone in this hallway about your dress and shoes for your daughters wedding. You are worried about budget cuts and being put under a microscope, as I said, bring it in because I look damn good. AND yes, when I'm mad, my lips move, but my teeth dont.
Signed, don't put your crap in me and don't question the work ethic of me or my team.
Dear PTA President, I don't intend to steamroll you, but I am a "get shit done" personality and if there's a better, more efficient way for us to be successful, I'm going to speak up and make it happen. I don't participate in inefficient, unsuccessful groups. I don't have time for that. So, get on board and up your game, or move out of the way. We can be 1,000 times more successful next year if you just let other people have input and stop being so passive with a "But this is how we've always done it" attitude. Signed, Sorry not sorry
Dear DH, I see why you didn't want me to join the PTA. You're right. I am that type of person that ends up in charge. Oh well. It's fun! Signed, Future PTA President (aka Sucker)
Dear Plank Challenge & DD 90 second plank about killed me yesterday. I was shaking like crazy by 50 seconds. DD thanks for doing this with me and counting cheerfully down the time. But could you maybe just count down the last 10 seconds and not the whole thing. Mom PS how can you talk during this?
twinmomma, This would be me with our PTO. They are so la-de-la-da it isn't funny and most stuff gets planned for a week after the meeting. nothing is talked about in the future or planned in advance. Plus they can't tell us how much we made from the umpteen fundraisers we did or how many kids participated. But I don't have the time or energy to be in charge 4 months out of the year so I give out suggestions and ask questions but won't lead. 186momx
Dear Gymnastic Coach P Thanks for telling me DD will move up in June no matter what and I could stop the private lessons. But she has found her drive again so will keep the next private. Also thanks for moving up the food chain of coaches to get DD into Express. I'm just worried that Coach A will take it out on DD but then that could just be me. Gym Mom
Dear DD Can we maybe not do as much gymnastics at home before we go to practice tonight. You seemed really tired on Monday after you did 50 sit ups, 10 push ups, 5 bridge kick overs, 6 back bend drills, and 10 minutes of playing on the bar. Mommy who loves how motivated you are
When I am mad at you for staying up all night drinking and playing video games, do not try to start a conversation with me at 430am about how I “shamed” you. 430 is not a time for talking.
Dear DH’s therapist,
For the love of all things holy, when I join his session tomorrow and meet you for the first time, please get serious and be concrete. Our metaphorical house is on fire, and I have the distinct impression you and DH have been having a long, emotional chat for the last year+ about what the house looked like and stories of its history. Put the damn fire out. After we rebuild it, you can talk about the roots and development of the old house.
Dear WPs,
I’ve been kind of AWOL. Everything sucks. Someone invite DD and I for a vacation. Please. Her behavior charts from school have been perfect for a week and a half so now is a great time to have her over to play with your kids while you & I drink wine.
Dear kids, I love you dearly, but if one of you keeps waking me up every night this week, I just might lose my mind. This morning, I had two of you in my bed about an hour before my alarm went off. Momma and Daddy are very tired. So for the love of g*d, stay in your rooms all night!
Love, your tired Momma
Dear weather, Could you rain this evening? DD has a softball game tonight and I am exhausted (see above). Plus, I have an audit at work today and will be rushing to get to the game on time. I would love to have an evening to be lazy at home. Thanks!
I kind of love you. You have the most amazing coffee I’ve ever tasted, and apple pie scones really should be a thing everywhere. Plus mountains.
Love, A Visitor Who Cannot Come Back Because Scones
Dear Old Boss/Substitute Dad and His Newish Wife:
I’m glad you are happy. I adore you both. I loved seeing you while I was in Idaho and I would love to bring the kids to visit. But Geez Louise, our politics are so different. Why oh why did I have to deftly change the subject a thousand times over dinner last night?
Love, Let’s Go Back To Talking About Kids and Real Estate!
You are awesome. Still wish my dude was making way more progress, but thanks for your assertiveness in there. you are definitely worth the out of pocket cost.
Please cut me some slack as we figure out your Manager's position since he resigned and is leaving next week. It's not good timing as we head into our busy season and there are going to be a lot of changes coming because let's face it, he never managed any of you. If you didn't want to do something, he just did it himself. I don't work like that. Things are going to be different around here but it will be okay.
Dear Friend's sister, You are the maid of honor. You had months to plan the destination bachelorette party next week. We've been offering input and asking how to help while you've not made any decisions or followed back up with us. You said you had it covered. We expected this to happen but to ask us to coordinate, plan and make all the reservations a week before the event is not cool. And then you don't answer our questions and tell us you're really busy at work this week so can't help. Frustrated and stressed when I should be excited
Dear Friends, I know it's in my nature to take charge but it's not fun to be the bad guy. You all saying "Someone" needs to take over and tell the sister that we're not doing it her way always ends up being me in these situations. Type A Mellym
shakinros, I was so worried YH's therapist was going to throw you under the bus yesterday. So happy that they didn't and things are moving slowly but in a positive way. Wish I could send my DH to YH's therapist instead of his. 186momx PS You can come visit me in the PNW. All I can promise is high pollen counts and a moody cranky H

I wish you could send your H too! I’m still frustrated by the lack of progress in the past two years, but I may have to concede it isn’t the therapist’s fault.
