Dear friend,
What's up with the whole not responding to my email or text thing? If you don't want to hang out, you could just send a short text to let me know you have other plans?
Signed, Confused
Dear Self,
Good job on not letting this get to you and spiral into the typical "9oh no one likes me" thing. It shows real growth.
Signed, Proud?
Dear bunch of 3 year olds,
Coaching you soccer was really fun. I didn't realize how much I miss hanging out with little kids (that are not my own). Look forward to tonight!
Overall you are going well. However the biggest benefit has been I have had to take care of no one but myself for 24 hours. I ran, got what I wanted for dinner with no discussion, took advantage of free drinks and had 2 margaritas and read my book, watched trashy TV and went to bed.
Signed, relaxed.
Dear family,
I better not walk into a shitshow tonight. The house better be clean, and I better not have to take part in any type of meal prep.
Dear work, April 15th has passed, why can’t you slow down a bit now? My chargeable hours are through the roof and I’ve already earned my bonus this year with 2 months to go. I’m getting tired and feel like my house is a disaster. Signed, I’m expecting partner
Dear dh, I’m sorry you’re miserable. Please take time to job hunt. I’m willing to walk away from the money to make you less miserable. Yes it’s a lot of money, but you’re going to die at this pace. Please find something where you can stick to reasonable hours. It’s hard when you’re working 60-85 hours every week plus 8+ hours commuting. Signed, Supportive wife
Dear cold, I can deal with most of your symptoms and suffer through. But blocked ears is the worst feeling ever and it's making me crazy! I'm going on day 3 of pretty consistently blocked ears and I am sick of not being able to hear anything! Signed, Go away
twinmomma have you added Afrin and allergy pills to your cold medicine mix? The combo always helps with clogged ears and is what our advice line usually suggests.
Dear Me You need to sleep. You are so tired. You introduced yourself as DD last night at PTO. Me with a brain that won't shut down at night
Dear School/principle Thanks for telling me last night that you got the psych testing back. Telling me it will be another few weeks as you now have to gather and coordinate schedules with the school TAG team didn't make me happy. I feel like this is being dragged out so nothing will get done this school year. We have 9 weeks left of school. Frustrated Mom with a bored kid

Dear brother, Please know that if I ask you to handle a task for anything that we are involved in together, it is because I simply cannot add it into my schedule. We discussed what we wanted to do regarding the offer for our building and I asked you to send an email to the realtor, with me included in the email. I KNOW your schedule is pretty open right now and mine is too to an extent, but when I ask you do to something, please just do it. Don't draft the email, send it to me to proof, and tell me to copy and paste into an email to a realtor. I told you in the 5 minutes I had to talk on the phone that I had meetings all afternoon. Love, THIS is why we are not working together full time anymore
Dear Hair, Thank you for being so accommodating and looking great despite 2 days of sweat and 2 days of dry shampoo. Love, a blessed erinshelley

Dear STBXH, I am not going to make a counseling appointment for DS because you can't figure out how to parent him. That was a YOU problem this morning. And a 5am text saying that you are hurt and don't deserve this is also a YOU problem. Signed, Ready to move on
Dear work laptop, Why can't you be easy to hook up to my docking station and monitors? Signed, Frustrated and not that tech savvy
Dear UTI, I don't have time for you. Go away, Signed, Hate this feeling
Wowza do you know how to drive people crazy. He is currently trying out new stable job so he can spend more time with the kids. Day 2 and he already has complaints. Or and he also still has his consulting job because every time he tries to leave it sucks, so he goes back, so the joke is that he can never leave consulting. It is way less stress, and he is sleeping way better and feeling better physically. He also has an incoming other job offer that would require moving. Pro (and many times con because they drive me crazy) closer to family. Con- Lower pay for him, and I wouldn't have a job there. I told him fine go ahead and try that job out swearwords. But I told him if he was going to make me move away from my job and friends I made here, then I am going to be a SAHM for at least a year. Lets hope that if there is anything happening it would allow me to be home with the kids in the summer because I think that would be fun. He is sending me job postings, and I am like no I am not looking for jobs right now. Also I totally think he has ADHD. He is either hyper focused or spazzing. Oops not in letter format.

waverly, if you do move, that makes sense to wait for a period of time before looking for a job. I haven't made a major move as an adult, but I can only imagine how much time there would be needed to find new everything (e.g., doctors, dentist, hair stylist, etc.) and become acclimated to the area.
MH considered a 1-2 year assignment in CA years ago while the kids were little (before school), and I told him that I refused to work during that time, as we would have no one to depend on (at least for a while) for emergency child care if the kids were sick, and another employer (for me) may not be as flexible when it comes to WFH when the kids are sick.
I really needed to get home tonight. F you for cancelling my flight because you’re trying to cancel the least-booked flights due to the fact that you bought shitty planes that crash. You could have cancelled it days ago so I could have rescheduled for today.

PS You better be glad the weather also sucks or I would be even more mad.
Dear WPs:
My eye doc appointment is actually tomorrow, so that’s good. And I should be home in plenty of time for it.

Yeah that is what I am thinking. Of course he would be busy with his job, meanwhile I would probably be the one doing the most on selling the house and getting repairs done. Buying a new one and redecorating. Honestly I was thinking we would need something cheaper without my salary, but nothing looks cheaper in the area anyway. We've lived there before since we are moving home, but it wouldn't be in the exact same area, so yeah we would mostly need to find doctors etc. It's been 10 years, so I wouldn't even necessarily remember or have them still be there in terms of dentists, stylists etc.
It seems like a bit of a financial mistake when I was looking at the housing. But yeah he can always go live with his parents and try it out if he totally has to. Have fun living with your parents, DH... ha ha ha
