Dear Weather Thank you for hovering around 35 degrees and all the precipitation that is falling is rain. I really didn't want to deal with freezing rain or more snow this morning. Thank you Mother Nature
Dear School Thanks for rescheduling Dr Seuss week to this week and family read night to Thursday. But could you have given us a bit of a heads up instead of last second. Not everyone can flex schedules so quickly frazzled mom who has something after work each night this week
DH Look at the damn calendars. I write them out just for you. You getting cranky because you didn't know XYZ was happening when it has been on the calendar isn't my fault. Wife who is too busy to text you everything multiple times or set up reminders on your phone.
Can I just get a crystal ball and look into the future and see that it all works out? I am tired of worrying. Will DD make the volleyball team and have some friends the first day of school? Should she take all AP classes, or will she totally freak out? How with this HGH work out for DS? How tall will he really be? Do I hold out the extra money for college and retirement that I was going to start in April until I figure out what this will all cost? Do I have enough in college? Do I have enough in retirement? Will DS get 2 college credits with the schedule next year? How am I going to get DD to school all summer from 6 am to 10 am? Where the hell is DH in all this? I am assuming just waiting on the reports from me.
I look at some of our clientele and even some rather unsavory family members , and think it must be a hard life. Or maybe not. They don't worry about retirement, college, even if their kids go to college, the benefits of blueberries and avocados on their health, do they get enough protein, getting a workout in every day, can we afford extra lessons for the kids. Maybe they are on to something.
Warm the duck up please. It's March 6, and it was a low of 4 this morning. It warmed up and is going that direction but very slowly. Everyone in the entire universe (Midwest) is over you.

Amen to that, waverly! It's like January 64th and I'm over it! I'm so excited for it to get close to 40 degrees this weekend! It'll feel like a heat wave!
Dear candidate for our open position,
After meeting you today, I think you will be a great fit with our team and be able to get up to speed quickly! Please say yes to the offer (because I'm assuming you'll be receiving one).

That was my exact feeling this morning as I walked DS into school. I’m so over it. The forecast is looking good but with 40 on Saturday comes 100% chance of rain which mean it will still feel cold. 50 next Wed...chance of rain and windy. Can we just have 1 nice, mild and SUNNY day?!
You really wanted to be in charge of this ducking team-building event at our department staff meeting. You got your wish. You better be ready to explain to me why, on a day we started before 0800, you planned a team-builder that ends at 5:45 followed by a happy hour.
Signed, Your Boss Who Doesn’t Want To Have a 12-Plus Hour Day!
Dear Associate Who Was Supervising The Content of This Event:
Why didn’t you stop this nonsense? Telling me my low level employee planned it doesn’t cut it!
Dear DH, You have to get someone to fix the dishwasher. It cannot be a festering pit of strep while we are gone. I am 100% certain there is no leak. It started beeping after the second power outage yesterday - no cycle was run yesterday. The only way to fix it is to have a service person come out. Feel free to google “GE monogram” or hand wash all the utensils and dishes.

Dear DH,
I guess we're never going to get a refund from the urgent care you left because the wait was so long since you have to call during normal business hours to request it?
Also STOP ASKING ME WHERE WE ARE GOING TO EAT FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY THIS WEEKEND. I have handled SO much stuff lately from speaking to all the schools to getting pictures for the celebration of life for DD to planning her damn birthday party to GETTING CHILDCARE FOR SATURDAY. How about you make a reservation any fucking place?
Signed, Your wife who was mad the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and now 4th time you asked and wants you to get a CLUE!
Dear DH, After an insane day, in desperation I turned off the entire power and the dishwasher is fixed. It would have been nice to get a reply or some action from you.
Stop with the existential BS. I don’t normally have any patience for it, but preparing for a hard core fight with the school district over DD’s 504? I definitely don’t have bandwidth. Do not send my anything else like the below quotation you cryptically shared.
Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do. Long after the mood you said it in hand left.
I don’t care. No, really. Keep your crisis to yourself as you have exceeded the maximum number of crises for the year.
Solidarity to the non stepping up husbands. I have handled both kids school scheduling this week plus setting up Ds on his treatment. DH's contribution is to ask 4000 questions. I don't fing know!!! If you have all of these random specific questions, step your ass up and do it yourself.
2chatter, I love that. You have exceeded your crises for the year. It's only March. But yeah I need to tell DH that, but only relating to work crises as he seems to spend 99% of his time on work existential crap.
Also, thanks for the multiple Netflix Working Moms rec. So hilarious. I love them all. I can relate to (and this was post partum so not that much anymore) wanting to just go to the hospital for a while to sleep, resenting/ hating my husband mostly a hormone driven thing actually probably natures way of further birth control while having an infant. I love some of the white lies they tell, and the balls on the one to just do whatever she wants career wise and be like so what. I love it, because I don't have that kind of high powered job/ salary to be able to do that.
If I have never in our entire lives given you a birthday gift, why on earth would you think I would want to contribute to a charity of your choice in honor of your birthday?
Dear guests on my trip, Really? Most of you HATE this resort? So far, reasons for hating include: - It's the not resort we went to last year, which you all specifically requested we change for "something different" - You have to make dinner reservations and some of you didn't, so you're pissed about lack of food options - The staff doesn't speak enough English. In a foreign country. So you deem them "not friendly." I feel like my coworker and I have done nothing but research resorts for the past year and a half. And we honestly thought people would like this place. It's a free trip! It's a beautiful beach! It's all inclusive! And I definitely know it stacks up better than some of the others we visited. So what more do you people want from me?! Signed, Really, really defeated trip coordinator
Dear exec team, Guess I'll just kiss my bonus for 2019 goodbye. Ugh. Signed, Sorry I chose a "terrible" place

Working for the government, going to a all inclusive resort on a beach as part of my job is so far from my reality, I cant image complaining about anything. I am excited when they book me on a place that will custom make me an omelet for my continental breakfast.
twinmomma, the place sounds like a great way to spend a week on a work trip. Next time schedule the resort in ND or Montana and let everyone freeze for the week. Sounds like they just want to complain to complain.
Dear Mrs. M (DD's teacher) I wish you communicated better. DD has spent the last hour sitting on the computer at working researching about seals and writing notes and I told her she had to site her source and now wants to type a report on all she learned about seals. Are you doing a animal research project in class? Or is she just learning to learn. Left out in left field mom
