Dear DS,
I know you don't like the GH shots. I get it. I don't blame you. But like...meet me half way here kid. Doing it in your sleep isn't working anymore. Spraying your arm with cold spray "didn't help". Numbing cream is arriving today but you're not interested. I'm getting all the tips I have to make this painless...
When my coworkers at my office comment on what a big boy you are, it is not actually your opening for you to announce that it's all your mom's fault because I'm giving you shots to make you bigger and isn't that horrible.
Have you heard of the Buzzy mini? A pediatrician friend absolutely swears by it. Her DD used to lose her ever-loving mind over shots and this thing has cured her of the fear.

Dear Work:
I am really tired. And I have to the end of this month to take off 4 more days. So for the love of God, leave me alone the rest of this week.

Dear Boss:
Yesterday my day started at 4:45 am and ended at 10:15 pm. Considering that 17.5 hour day with the 6 hours I’m working from home today, don’t be shocked I’m counting my 4 days home as only 3 off.
Dear tax clients Stop bringing your stress into our office. Also stop comparing your taxes with your buddies at work. Everyone situations are different. Tired of hearing whining & griping today tax lady
mommyatty, Can you just send out a message saying you are turning off all electrical devices until 8am on X and then do it. You need a break 186momx
Just so you know, I do have other things to do in my life than to drive DS to and from places. So a heads up that he needs to be at school an hour early 1 day in advance is not sufficient; especially since DS waits a half a day to tell me . I work out at 5:30 AM. I coordinate my workouts based on where/what time I have to be somewhere. Not much time = weights and no hair wash, normal morning run and full shower with hair. Now you guys have thrown me off. And I can't fit much more into the afternoons, because I am running kids then too.
Signed, mom
Dear universe,
These late work night, plus kids events and practices are killing me.
Dear Schools,
Never in the history of ever, has some adult coming in 1 day and telling kids drugs are bad ever worked. So I am not really excited to block out a day on my calendar to do that, if you guys are not going to back it up with continuous reinforcements and policies that support it.
Dear kids, Oh my gosh, it is soooo good to see you! 2 weeks is a terribly long time to go without seeing you and hugging you. I never want to schedule that again. Love, Momma
Dear bosses, Thank you for being so kind and easy going about the trip. I can't believe none of you cared that much and you're not even stressed about throwing away the deposit if we have to find a new place for next year. Signed, Grateful yet again for this job
Dear self, Glad you're being more honest with people about XH and how things have been going down. Isn't it nice to have people rallying around you and the kids? He's the crazy one, not you. Signed, Me
WPs Client and my neighbor walks in to pick up taxes. She runs a liquor store. I ask if she has any alcohol she pulls out two mini's of peppermint schnapps. I'm thinking spiked hot chocolate after my last appointment at 4pm today. It's been one of those days Me PS the client we fired because the estate is fighting everything won't just be fired. Now his attorneys are begging us to just change it. Yes change a long term liability into an investment without amending the original and subsequent years can be done with a magical swish of my wrist. Argh!

mommyatty , yes I've heard about it and a lot of GH parents use it. I have doubts about it helping him...or him actually allowing it to help him. For example, the numbing cream came tonight and he won't let me use it.
My coworkers thought he was hilarious and I wanted to cry. Also H is getting hostile about it being so difficult, which makes it harder.
UPDATE: OMG this KID.
I just gave him the shot tonight while he was watching TV. He refused the cream or the cold spray. He was clearly nervous and it made him really grouchy but he asked if he could hold the cap to the needle. Then I did it...and he said "WHY DID YOU TELL ME THAT WAS GOING TO HURT?! IT DIDN'T HURT!"

Dear WP, You are almost to the end of hearing me talk about my building. We don't have an offer yet, but it's coming. Buyers have to form an LLC and the process has already started. Earnest money is on its way and they are scheduling inspections. Signed, erinshelly!
