Thanks for giving us an easier time than expected with potty training. However, I'm less thrilled that either the developmental leap from learning a new skill, or maybe the full moon, means that you've decided to stop being a good sleeper. Taking off your doorknob lock, including duct tape, at 1 am, 4 am, and 4:30 am and coming to wake me up is not cool.
Signed, two new types of toddler doorknob locks will be arriving from Amazon today (which I ordered at 4 am)
Dear Nordstrom,
Thank you for removing the ding to my credit report for a payment that was lost in the mail. Who knew that one small lost payment on a card I almost never use would take my credit score from 820 to 713?
Signed, this will make our refinance cheaper, and also you should have notified me before reporting to credit agencies, since you're known for customer service
sdlaura, if you have a huge houdini and what you ordered doesn't work, you can get a door knob with a lock and install it backwards. If you go that route, based on an amusing story from a friend who went that route, make sure you have a coin or a pokey thing in DS's room to unlock the door if you inadvertently lock yourself in.

Dear body, I've written to you for a few weeks in a row now. Get your shit together! This latest cold or whatever the hell this is is it. No more sickness. My ears and face are just full, I'm exhausted, and sound terrible. Do you know how hard it is to make phone calls when I sound like this? We will be taking up drinking during the week again since the alcohol seemed to keep me healthy last year and during the renovations. Love, I'm trying to take care of you!
Dear niece, I hope you know how wonderful you are and I hope life gets easier for you. You were just a baby when I started dating your uncle and I've always had a soft spot for you. Love, your aunt who wants to hug you
Being "so busy" with stuff like church and bowling is not an excuse to delay scheduling medical appointments or geting your new glasses prescription filled.

I know it’s peak allergy season for you, but you have to get a freaking grip. People are going to think we have Coronavirus when we just have allergy induced asthma.

PS If we get Coronavirus, please don’t quit on me. I love you.
Dear DD I'm glad your big crash tumbling last night wasn't worse than it was. Walking in the door and then seeing your kid go flying through the air and land on her upper back/neck was not how I wanted to end my day last night. You waking up with a stiff upper back and your wrist hurting but not swollen made this one relieved momma. It is also pretty cool you know what you did wrong and want to still do your private tonight. Gym mom
Dear Gym I know the office staff person has been super sick and everyone is just trying to make due while she is out. But how can you be out of any and all ice or ice packs. DD using otter pops as an ice pack because it was the only thing in the freezer was a little comical and it did do the job but an ice pack would have been better. All three of us level 3 moms who saw DD crash all agreed we were stopping at the dollar store and grabbing a handful of ice packs and throwing them in the gym freezer. No Ice??
Dear Awesome 3rd grade teacher Thanks for switching spelling lists for DD for the next two weeks. When she struggles to spell the root word adding the er, ing, re, un, etc. to the words is making it really hard. I think you figured that out when she went from getting 15/18 right to 4/18 last week. Appreciative mom
k3am that may be our next step! Right now his doorknob doesn't have a lock, so we can't just turn it around. I ordered this thing on amazon and we'll see if it works:
Cuddle them often. Because they grow up and turn into assholes.

Dear Dh,
When I vent about the boy, I am really not looking for advise on what to do, especially in your barking tone. You are supposed to say I'm great and make me feel better.
Signed, you should know better after all these years.
Dear Covid-19 Go Away! I was really looking forward to not working Saturday and taking DD to the college gymnastic meet. It is senior night and she totally looks up to a couple of the seniors and thinks they are the best. I wanted her to get to watch them compete in person 1 more time. Closing the meet to all spectators is just ugh. I don't know what I'm more bummed about missing the meet or now working and not getting a day off. Cranky me who wants a day off PS I won't be working until 9pm Friday night to make up for not working Saturday now
Dear DD You did great advocating for yourself last night. I think it is rotten that the gym told Jon to cancel your private. You texting him back pleading to please let you come and why was pretty awesome. You calling the gym and talking to the sub office lady all on your own to make sure your messages got through to Jon was even cooler. I know adults who won't call people on the phone. I'm sorry your wrist is sore from your fall and doing certain stuff last night really bugged you. You learned something and you did 6 tumbling passes so it isn't scary. I'm glad you and Jon agreed you only tumble when he is there. I'm getting a confident big kid Mom
Dear universe, Is it the weekend yet? I'm exhausted. I think I'm going to be cleaning up this mess for weeks. Signed, Tired traveler who finally made it home
Dear self, You better figure out how to make your home office situation more productive and cozy. A laptop shoved on a tiny table in a messy craft/sewing room is not going to cut it for the long term. Signed, No excuses, get organized!
