Dear Mother Nature, So 50 degrees and rain today followed by 1-2" of snow and 30 degrees tomorrow followed by 60 degrees and sunny on Friday? Is this your April Fools' joke? Signed, Are you high?
Dear WP, DH and I got our first Covid vaccine shots yesterday due to an over abundance of supply at a local clinic! We are the last ones in our immediate family (besides the kids) to get the vaccine. I felt so relieved to get it! Signed, My arm is pretty sore but I am still smiling!
Dear mommyatty, I keep window shopping on Petfinder too. And I also need to stop. I've already told everyone no more living creatures in this tiny house! Signed, Twinmomma
Dear girls, I love that April Fool's Day is your favorite holiday because you try to switch on everyone all day. At this point, everyone at school basically knows the tricks to tell you apart, so it's totally harmless and fun. I'm taking you to Target tonight to pick out new matching outfits. Can't wait! Love, Mom
Dear beau, I appreciate that you bought me candy to stress eat when I sent you to the store for office supplies. But you can't put random purchases on my company card! How am I supposed to itemize that on my expense report? Signed, This is why I've gained weight

twinmomma, that made me laugh bc I can so see my H doing that. You just caused me so much paperwork, honey!
Dear H,
Quit undercutting me when I say DD has to do her schoolwork! Yes I know she has energy but overriding me so she can have a longer break outside or chucking about how she is “so advanced” when I catch her watching cat videos instead of making a poster board on the constitution is not helpful.
This is why you only teach Spanish now. We just have to knuckle down for a 8 more weeks!

Dear Beau, I'm sorry you're down, but I wish you'd let me in on what's going on. Of course I irrationally worry that you're down about us, when I know it's either something with your work or your grieving process. Love, Your FI
Dear DD 11 more weeks of 4th grade. I know you are frustrated and bored and I'm sorry your teacher doesn't care. But splitting your screen and watching u-tube videos during class has to stop. Mean Mommy
Dear twinmomma, We buy candy for the office and eat it ourselves. Can you take some to the office next time you go in?
Dear 4th grade Mrs D DD asking why they aren't moving forward in math is a legit question. You telling her she just has to deal because they have to work at the lowest person in class doesn't help. So glad we only have 11 more weeks of you. Frustrated mom
186momx, and that is the issue with no child left behind. Now you are keeping an entire classroom back. You shouldn't be on pace with the lowest or the highest. You should be on pace with the most. if you have one or two that are skyrocketing ahead use them to help the kids who are struggling. (as long as they can do that nicely) Teaching other people something gives you an understanding that exceeds the initial understanding of doing it yourself. This helps all the kids. * sorry rant over
Dear H,
I Love you, but I don't enjoy sharing an office with you. We are both on the phone all day. I was here first and don't have an office to go to. Find somewhere else to work, Kitchen table, bedroom or you know your office that is five mintues from the daycare that we have to go to anyway everyday....

Dear Boss, Thank you for letting me have the business that calls in. I know I've been complaining about how busy I am, but I am so thankful you know that it's just because I need to vent and can move on. Signed, I'm so glad we got to work together today
Dear DH, If dinner with your extra family doesn't happen tomorrow, I'm done coordinating this. It's been 3 weeks of scheduling and rescheduling and I'm beyond annoyed. She is constantly making remarks that make me feel like I've been a huge bitch for 12 years when I know that is not the case. Love, your wife who knows she's going to end up coordinating this since I'm all talk.
I'm glad you feel comfortable allowing your DD to go on playdates outside your home. I said 10 days ago that "at some point soon", I would have her over. Last weekend we were away. Since then, you've texted me several times and approached me AT MASS yesterday, at the kids' First Penance, to nail down a date. I'm sorry our schedule is full. No, I will not cancel the plans that I made with my DDs on their day off tomorrow so that you can drop your DD off here. No, I will not scramble after DD2's afternoon soccer tournament so that you can drop your DD off here. No, I will not shift DD2's appointments around to have her here when the kids are home on Wednesday. No, I will not cancel the art class I scheduled Thursday morning, because my girls are really looking forward to it. Managing your DD is not my responsibility. I have all I can do to manage my own kids. We have a packed schedule. When it works, you'll be the first to know.
xctsclrx, now I totally understand why our school flunks the state testing each year. The teachers teach at the lowest point in class so expectations are based on that which don't align with state testing which is at the highest level students.
Dear School Counselor I really hope you listen to DD tomorrow about the week. Yesterday was bad and I'm very tempted to screen shot the seesaw messages to you and I wish I would have recorded the after class lecture DD got. I've been tempted to ask if DD can sit in on some 5th grade zooms each week to help her be challenged but after yesterday I really don't want her spending anymore time with Mrs. D who is teaching CDL for 5th too. At my ropes end Me
Tonight’s announcement was.. terrible. I wish it was an April fools day joke. No parent ever wants to hear their child utter those words..
... .. ...
I did something really bad...
.. .. .... I need help. I don’t think I can fix it... ... ... ..... ... My room is now glitteriffic.
Seriously child! You have NEVER been allowed to do a craft in your room. EVER. How in the world did you find supplies to glitter bomb your room?!? Why on earth would you think it was okay!?!?!
Signed, I now have glitter tracked over our entire second floor, and likely will until we die.
I managed to complete forget about glittergate overnight.. woke up and saw myself in the mirror and it took a few seconds to figure out why I looked like I’d been attacked by a pixie...

According to my crafty coworker who also teaches with me and a public health nurse "Glitter is the herpes of the craft world."
