I know it is boring when DS has to work and you are by yourself. Just go with Grammy today and hang out with her. She'll probably buy you lunch.
Dear DS,
Put the sunscreen on that I packed in your bag on YOUR ENTIRE BODY not covered by clothing. And putting it on once at 6:00 AM is not sufficient.
Dear Work,
There has got to be a better organizational set up for us. Why do I show up at a meeting with 3 other staff who I didn't know would be there? Am I not the community lead? Who would know, since not everyone working in community education is under one department or manager since our structure is stupid and more about filling gaps than efficiency.
Dear DD2, How did you lose your glasses?! You got undressed last night to take a shower and they just disappeared somewhere within our house. Don't you notice when you don't have them on and you can't see clearly?! Your spaciness kills me. I do not want to purchase another pair just because you're a hot mess. I know they're in our house somewhere! Signed, Mom who tore the house apart and was late to work today and STILL didn't find the glasses
Dear DD1, When you say "It's ok, we can just buy another pair!" you're not helping the situation. Signed, Annoyed mom
Dear DH, Yay for starting your in town job. Flaking on taking the kids - not cool. DD and I planned on boxing and she has to be at camp by 8:30 as a counselor. So do not complain when I start work at 6 and don’t want to cuddle. You did this to my schedule. I am not a SAHM. This was your one free pass. Friday I am leaving the house and leaving you with the kids - regardless of whether you like it. Not the nanny
Dear DD, Super excited for you but can you slow down? You don’t have to be busy all the time. Some days you don’t have to volunteer anywhere. Also, I am pretty happy that you trying to beat me at the gym resulted in your almost throwing up. Yes, you beat me. But not easily! Both of these things are —- be a little less full on please. Marathon - not sprint. You won’t be home from golf lessons until 9:30 PM. Take the long view here and find some down time. Mom
Dear DH- I hope your presentation goes well. You better be happy this weekend. You have too high expectations for dinner time coupled with tiredness, irritability, and impatience makes dinner out (and sometimes in) no fun.
Yes I am blaming you even though it was my fault for setting the kids expectations to be different from reality. Why? because you can't roll with things. And I don't mean trying every restaurant and driving all around town to have the perfect experience as "rolling with it." Trying to attain perfection is the opposite of being flexible.
Dear DD- you are driving me totally crazy. I spend every minute of the morning with either you yelling or me micromanaging- for example asking you to get your shoes on 800 times. By the time I get to work, I am too tired and distracted to even work- oh well I am here.
Dear DS- thank you for being the one that actually gets yourself together in the morning.

Dear 4 day weekend, Please get here soon. I'm looking forward to you even more than usual because I'm burned out at work. I need a break and I actually have some plans. Signed, Ready for a break
When you steal someone's credit card and buy things, you're supposed to have it shipped to yourself, not to ME!! Now I have to return this stupid $1500 drone THAT I DID NOT ORDER, and I have no credit card. WHAT DID YOU GET OUT OF THIS???
Please take it easy today. I know you love to climb and play on the playground at school but be careful. We had a close call yesterday and I am so glad that you only sprained your arm. Don't worry about kids looking at you because of the sling. You are awesome and I'm so proud that you worked it out for yourself when you said that you'd just tell them what happened and that you're okay. Keep rolling with the punches and don't let anyone get you down.
Please no more phone calls from school this week
Dear DD2,
You do not need to change your outfit 5 times a day because you get a drop of water on them. You will start doing your own laundry at three years old.
Dear DD3, Thank you for only waking up once last night. I feel somewhat sane today. Only on my third cup of coffee
Dear DD You handled your funky eye like a champ yesterday. I'm Mrs. J just let you explain to the whole class what happened so everyone would leave you alone. I find it kind of funny that everyone else was freaking out about your eye and you just rolled with it. Mom
Dear DH Telling me at 2pm that you don't have therapy was nice but I had already planned and taken dinner out. You being home from dinner caused you to eat all of my dinner plus the extra I made so I ate very little last night and have no lunch today. My original meal planned equaled DD and I both eating and me having lunch today. Wife who likes that you are still in a good mood but is hungry
twinmomma, did you check the dirty laundry? I agree "we can just buy new glasses" isn't the answer. This is a big pet peeve of mine, oh well just buy me a new one. Money doesn't grow on trees be responsible for your stuff!

mae0111, I had my card stolen a few years ago and they spent over $500 on magazine subscriptions that were sent to my house. I didn't understand it. So in addition to dealing with the CC, I had to cancel a bunch of magazine subscriptions too.
186momx, We did, but not well. I was just so aggravated that it was not the most thorough search. DH continued the search after I left and still didn't find them. It's also spirit week so I was throwing together a ridiculous outfit which had me running late already. Not a good morning!
WTF. You’ve already delayed my flight twice and it’s still 4 hrs away. I want to get home tonight!

Dear Swim School:
You guys pretty much suck too. But I see that it’s your instructor’s fault. Please get it all straightened out. I would recommend by starting by telling your instructors and parents what the rules are for scheduling. Not just “work it out and let us know.”

Dear School & PTO Sending out volunteer sheets Tuesday for today's big carnival was pretty stupid. Calling freaking out needing help after I already signed up for a timeslot and needing me to do more because no one is stepping up isn't my problem. Give people notice, 48 hours isn't notice.
