Please stop with the weird dreams. First, I run over a co-worker with my car. Not sure who, because I stopped to call 911 and then work up before I could go over there.
Then, I am following my friend around. She seemed annoyed so she wrote me the kindest break up letter ever. But basically because she has to wash her fruit before we come over, that was too much pressure. Then, I was supposed to bring a sword to an event and didn't. And something about saying I was bringing my dad to an event. I read the letter 3 times in my dream, and it still didn't make sense. Also doesn't make sense awake either. We've never eaten fruit at their house, never were supposed to bring swords, and I never mentioned bringing my dad to anything either. I'm sure I may have annoyed her once or twice in real life, but that's part of reality of friendship, correct?
Signed, WTF
Dear job mess,
We may have gotten good news. Let's make it official.
I know you’re overloaded, but you FORGOT to call in DD1. So the school had to call looking for her. I know this morning was a scramble getting ready for the private school test but omg that was embarrassing.
Eh I've definitely done that. In my defense we were at a doctor's appointment and just coming to school tardy, but apparently we weren't there early enough to make the window before they call.
Dear Head Please stop pounding. Also, the pulse behind my left eye that is causing my eye to twitch is driving me bonkers. The management
Dear DD Can you please stop growing. My long winter coat looked pretty good on this morning. I know you were cold and needed something warmer, but you had my sweater, my boots, and my coat on today. Not ready to share a closet Mom
I love you. Really I do. But I can’t with your flakiness anymore. You text last night about needing to get a ripped stuffed animal sewn up. I tell you I can do it. This morning you ask if you can drop it off between 10:30 and 12. I say that’s fine. At 12:30 you text to say you can’t do it today, can you do it tomorrow. FFS, drop it off or don’t. But I can’t leave everything on hold for you to ping around life like a pinball in a pinball machine. And I’m not sitting around waiting for you to drop it off. Leave it on the porch.
The last time you arranged for us to get together, I purposefully didn’t remind you or firm up plans just so I could see how long it would take you to remember. Two days after the fact. That was the answer. I already have a complex about about not being important to other people. I don’t need friendships that seem to bear that out.
You finally slept through the night. So much, you didn't even know what day it was and what needed to be done getting up. But it felt good to get some sleep.
Signed better.
Dear $840 I found,
Good bye,
Signed, mom whose kid needs their wisdom teeth out.
Dear Ds,
You text me for some good, warm meals that you can cook for winter. You only eat burgers, chili, fried chicken and wings willingly, so the bean soup and cornbread, or meatloaf, or chicken noodle soup or stirfry, or lasagna that other people eat, doesn't apply.
You both seemed off tonight. Please don’t be getting sick. You’ll be sad if you miss your annual school jogathon tomorrow.
Dear WPs,
Does anyone else feel like all they do is sign their kids up for things? Which also requires talking to all their friends’/teammates’ parents in advance and filling out a bazillion forms? This week alone I signed the kids up for 3 spring sports using various apps, karate class at preschool, and a few winter break camps.
Dear darkness at 5 pm,
I am already over you. It’s going to be a long winter.
Dear body,
I thought you would hurt a lot after returning to OrangeTheory yesterday for the first time since March 2020. The fact that you don’t makes me feel pretty good about the workouts I’ve been doing on my own in the meantime. I would be happier if I lost a few pounds, but at least I’m in decent shape.
Our school attendance system does robo-calls for absences based on attendance counts around 8:00am. Are y’all getting live human calls from school personnel?

Our school bragged they would always call you. In reality the K-2 school didn’t care and never called. The 3-6 school would call- real person. I have no idea what the middle school does since I called in time for that one.
vasc, we get a live person from the office calling for attendance. And she's bitchy. DH is always the one who is supposed to call in (because I am either dropping off the other kid or driving to the office and he's WFH most days), but I'm the one who gets the call complaining at me.
vasc, automated and it come for K-8 by about noon and high school after school is over. I got it once and freaked out when DD was in 2nd. I dropped DD at before care so she should have been at school. I called school and got a live person who personally went to check to see if DD was in class.
I do not like DD's current school office staff. They have not been helpful at all so far this school year and each time I've called or stopped by with questions I get the brush off.
