Again, why make everything so complicated? Why did you buy a truck, then cannot use said truck. Trying to cram everything we needed for the lake into the back of my Camry because you just waxed your truck and didn't want to drive it to the lake was and exercise in futility. It was pretty clear from the get go that a float-blown up, fishing rod, cooler, 2 lawn chairs, 2 life jackets were not going to fit.
Signed, over the truck already.
Dear Dumbass Renter,
I own your place. You do not own anything. If I want to come get the landscaping rocks that may dad hauled up there for his 25 rock gardens, I can. A text at 1 am saying you have been renting the rocks for 10 years and want to keep them will just push me into ridiculousness. Not only am I now getting a few rocks for my house, I am getting all the rocks everywhere most likely shoveling the gravel out of my driveway. And I may even hold up closing just long enough to evict you so that you will have to move out before your buddy, the new owner takes over, since I can predict you will try to stiff me last months rent.
I'm glad you came over and we had a really fun day with you and the kids yesterday. You brought the fun and we had a blast with a water balloon fight but call before you come next time, okay?
Your Planner Daughter (and thankfully we were dressed appropriately)

Dear Friends, I hate what you guys are going through with your family right now. You are two wonderful people and you don't deserve a single second of this. Signed, I wish there was more I could do
Dear Self, You should probably just commit to the job with your friend and keep selling insurance. 1. I really don't think a single person in your family can handle you working for anyone else with a set schedule even though that's what you think YOU need. 2. You really are kind of good at it. 3. The sky's the limit on income. 4. You can do it. Love, Quit being a chicken shit and take the chance

Dear DS,
Please have fun with grandma and grandpa. I didn't realize that leaving you there for 4 days would cause you to call home crying multiple times a day. You were so excited before! Good thing I didn't sign you up for sleep away camp!
Signed, Slightly guilty mom
Dear Self,
No, you should not get off work early and drive 3 hours to get DS. He is scheduled to come back tomorrow afternoon. He'll be fine.

I think you should at least try it. I did like selling insurance, just not the cranky customers which maybe I am wrong in assuming that I had more of them because I was in NYC.
The only reason I got out is because I couldn't see myself doing it the rest of my life, which doesn't seem an issue for you at least right now. I do like my job better now, but it is not in your interest area, I don't think anyway.
When we bought the new car you promised to be less grumpy which lasted about 1 day. I don't know what you were thinking with putting yard chemicals with a nozzle on it laying down at your son's feet instead of upright in the back on one of the bag holders. Or why you had to self clean the oven yesterday when it was 90 degree out. Sometimes I just don't get your reasoning.
I sent you a rug to buy for the bathroom and more towels since you did not love the one set I got. Just buy them from Amazon already. I am tired of trying to fit two people on a 2 by 3 rug and then me having to sit on cold tile to help the kids with anything in the bathroom. I can't find any better rugs, and you are picky so you need to start being a part of this decorating instead of being like I really don't know about those towels... eyeroll.

The nice thing about my set up is I dont have to meet any certain quotas, so volume doesn't matter and I can write for quality vs quantity and choose to not deal with cranky customers if I can afford too Haha.

I love you and I am sorry that the fireworks scared you last night. But the staying up until 10 and up at 4 isn't going to work. Especially if sister is up from 1-330.
Signed
Tired mom
Dear DH,
Please be nicer to DS. I know he is a whinny butt right now. You are making it worse.
Love,
Fustrated wife
Dear self,
Maybe we shouldn't clean out the fridge and cook at the time when you are this tired. Omg my hand hurts so bad

Dear DH,
Thank you for finally shutting up and going to fireworks. I'm annoyed that it took me yelling at you that we are GOING and that's that to make you shut up and go. We can't skip doing stuff because you're lazy. I've never seen our kids so excited.
Signed, Wife who doesn't want her kids to be hermits.
Dear DD,
I'm sorry you're upset that I cracked your egg this morning...but...it's actually a very necessary part to eating a hard boiled egg.
Love, Mom of child who hugged a peeled hard boiled egg tightly this morning...before eventually eating it.

Sold!
I think I am. I'm pretty sure I'll regret not trying it.

Dear Life, You're freaking hilarious. I was THISCLOSE to calling my friend tomorrow to tell him I want the job then the company I've applied for positions at 3 times calls and wants me to come in for an interview next week. You're killing me. Even DH is already on the fence about me taking a job at said company if its offered and it was his suggestion to work there in the first place! Signed, of course this is happening.
Remember when I was about 12 and really wanted boobs? I don’t remember if I actually prayed for them but I certainly wished for them often enough. Well, I wanted them when I was 12. Not now. So why do my boobs keep growing?
Signed, Now a 36DD?!?
Dear Working Moms:
If it’s been more than a year, go be sized for new bras by a professional. I would never have guessed my band size stayed the same but my cup size went up. I would have gone the other way.
