Dear self,
Why did it take you 7 months to realized the $600 you sent electronically to DD's 529 plan in March was not credited to her account??? Ahhh!!!
Dear Franklin Templeton,
Please be able to help me when I call at lunch... I can't stand the thought of $600 being "lost" and "unrecoverable."
Signed, Panicked investor
Update: Crisis averted. Apparently Franklin Templeton made the investment date earlier (I'm not sure why) and right after that investment transaction, they closed that account and moved DD to a different investment tier account, and "hid" the previous account. (I can still access the old account if I click on an itty-bitty little check box.) Whew, I'm relieved!!
Dear School What in the world is going on with music class. It is twice a week for a half hour but it is causing DD to dread going to school. She was close to tears when I dropped her off at before care because she didn't want to go to school and get yelled at all day because her class is too loud. Frustrated Mom who has already talked to classroom teacher
Dear O on gym team It was really nice of you to stick up for DD last night during practice. Asking Coach J if DD got to participate in the surprise from the meet and when coach said no piping up and telling her but DD is part of the team too made DD feel slightly better. You are an awesome friend
You broke my heart when the knee ripped on my last pair. And then I had all kinds of difficulty ordering a new pair. And the person I chatted with said they're NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU ANYMORE. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT TO ME?!?! You were delivered last night. And I put you on, and it just felt like heaven. I never realized I could love jeans as much as I love you. I'm debating ordering a few more pairs to put in storage just on the off chance that they don't end up adding more runs to the production schedule in the next year or so (when you are bound to get holes).

Dear DH,
I don't know if you are avoiding scheduling with your Mom for a reason or you are just not prioritizing getting the day on the calendar. Either way, please get it done. Your Mom starts blaming me (like I'm withholding information) when you wait around. It sucks to be the scapegoat. All you need to do is text her the three days we are available and time frames. She can pick from there.
Love, Not the family social manager
Dear MIL,
DH has a job. If he doesn't get back to you within 3 hours about a non-emergency/social request that is not a reason to start hitting me up. DH will get back to you after work (maybe, see above letter).
Also, DS1 has basketball on the weekends. If you want to do this grand outing then you will only get 3/5 of the family. We're not pulling DS1 out of practice and he is not allowed without a parent/caregiver. This doesn't mean we don't love you and FIL - we can still get together and do something fun, just not the one thing you apparently have decided has to happen.
I would have been nice to know that you moved my class an hour back before I got there. I have 1000 things going on this week, so killing an hour waiting for class, with your sucky cell signal, was not ideal today.
Dear President Trump, Thanks for coming to town today and creating a cluster-f by my office so you can give a speech and be back to the airport in 3 hours. I'm glad that I am able to work from home to avoid it all, but I do have to teach class tonight, so I hope you don't create a traffic nightmare on my route.
Signed, I don't think anyone in town really wants you here

Dear self,
Idk where this unexplained anxiety came from, but if you don’t get more than 3 hours of sleep tonight you’re not going to make it until the end of H’s business trip without snapping.
Forget the bathroom reno. We’re just going to burn the house down because rats. Again. The current garage inhabitant is nearly dead and waiting for you to dispose of it under a weighed down container in case it is a zombie.
Signed, Wimpy woman
PS: the rat traps didn’t kill it. This is just a spontaneous death. FML.
