Ladies, Work has been getting crazier and crazier so I have been MIA. Yesterday I worked a 14 hour day but that is just par for the course. I hope that when the project is over in a few weeks, I will come back to being a contributing member of the community. Let's write those letters!
Dear work,
I love you and I am really happy to be there.
What I don't appreciate is having panic attacks about you bc we are in the 25th hour now.
Love, Anxious me
Dear boss,
I am so flattered that you said you would support me going for a promotion after being just 8 months on the team.
Yours, So grateful and flattered
DH,
This is ridiculous. The doctor said pelvic rest for 2 weeks; yes, I had a bleed but we are fine now. It's been five weeks and if something doesn't happen soon, you will thoroughly regret it.
Yours, Unhappily deprived
Re: Open letter Wednesdays
I'm sorry that sex wasn't much fun last night but its not my fault that you wanted to do it so late at night and after you had taken Advil pm...how do you expect things to work properly if you're ready to pass out!?! Please get over it and quit being a grump!
Love,
Your (lets have sex earlier today?) Wife

Dear self,
You really need to get off your ass today and clean your house.
Signed,
Your disgustingly dirty house.
PS...You know you have to clean when your 19 month old walks into the kitchen and excitedly squeals "bubbles" at all the dust bunnies floating in the air...::sigh::

Dear interviewers,
I will sit down with a handful of you in about 3 hours. While I'm nervous and excited I hope for a couple of things, that you view my passion as exciting, that you fall in love with my personality and finally that you genuinely believe I would be the perfect addition to your building. As a request, please do not try and stump me with outrageous questions that I've never encountered-- I'd hate to try and skim for an answer.
Respectfully,
Hoping to get hired!
Dear self,
Stop stressing about today! You'll do great! You haven't had an interview you haven't nailed and you're very good at what you do. There's no reason to be overly nervous as you have a job! You have a good one! If this new job is closer for you, great! But if you don't land it, it's ok! You don't need it, but make sure you show them what an asset you'll be!
Love you to pieces! You'll do great!
Confident, non-emotional self.
@LeannFran
Good luck today at your interview!

DH flew home from Boston on Monday and it wound up taking him three cancellations, two layovers and 21 hours. Please please please let my flights today be completely uneventful and on time.

Dear Stomach,
I really enjoyed dinner last night. Can we make that feeling last a little longer? I'd really like to eat breakfast this morning, and lunch...but alas, I'm not sure I will. Get better soon! (as in NOW)

While I don't normally find myself attracted to you, your sexy time moves in my dream on Monday night were top notch. Although, it was weird when your face turned into my husband's face about halfway through. It was nice to meet you, even if it was only in my subconscious.
Love,

Dear body-
I know you don't like being pregnant, but we've done this before and you know its not forever. Please quit with this nausea and gagging crap, we'll both be happier if I felt better since you would be getting better nourishment.
Please, please, PLEASE!!!

Dear weekend-
I am ready for you, please come quickly.

I'm so glad after 7 months, you finally find something to bond over. I see you laying next to each other sharing a toy and think that is so sweet until I realize it is a DEAD BIRD in my house. Precious animals, I do NOT approve of the murder of any living creatures, nor coming to chew them up and leave blood stains on my carpet. Mind you, 10 minutes before the floor man comes to measure for new floors, which you better believe are being installed ASAP! This left me little time to freak out and forced me to clean up your awful mess...No ham snacks for you today. And you better not lick me either!
Your irritated, but glad she doesn't get m/s or breakfast would be everywhere, Mom
Dear DD,
Sorry you had to hear mommy yell a few unfriendly words this morning. She was just practicing her French. She does not do well around dead animals. All is well now, but we will be wearing socks and shoes all day and avoiding said areas if carpet.
Love, Mom
Oh no poor you! My dog sometimes brings dead bunnies to the door as gifts for me - a dead bird in the house terrible!
Fortunately, our cat keeps it all outside. She likes us to see what she caught, so she'll usually make sure we're home when she gets a mouse.
I would much rather that she eat the mice than the mice get into the house. We live in the country, and mice are definitely an issue (I hate them in the house!).

Dear 13 year old boys,
I've never given you much credit for all the shit you have to go through during puberty, but I feel like we have a lot in common these days. Acne, sex dreams, gas, hair in random places, raging hormones that make me want to get in a fight...I could go on, but I think you get it. I have a newfound understanding of your troubles, so good luck to you. Just promise me that in a decade or so when your wife is pregnant and acting this way, you remember how it feels and show a little compassion.
Thanks,
Crazy pregnant lady

Dear prenatal yoga teacher,
Your class last night did not make me feel relaxed or put me in a better mood. It made me tense and crabby that you think I want to smell your crappy essential oils that make my nose run. Know your audience...which right now is a room full of sensitive pregnant women. Also, your "stretches" suck.
Sincerely,
Not coming back next week
Was it because of you that I slept from 10:30 through until 6:00?! It is the first night in approx two months that I didn't have to get up and pee and then lie awake for an hour. Pillow, if it was you (and not sheer exhaustion) then I love you more than disco!!!
Love, love, love a very rested me!
Dear back, neck and shoulders,
Can we just be done with this now? It's been 3.5 weeks since the accident and the constant aches and pains and headaches are really starting to get on my tits now.
A rather fed up dish!
Please know that I changed my availability to no longer working past 10pm as I literally cannot stay awake later than that and cannot be a zombie at my full-time job. Scheduling me to work until 11pm is not acceptable and I know you overrode this in the system so playing dumb about my change in availability does not fly. Seriously considering just quitting now...
Sincerely,
A disgruntled & hormonal employee
Dear older (and only) sister/best friend,
I am at an emotional breaking point with your lack of excitement/appropriate emotional response to this baby. I understand being 2 years older, not married or even at this stage in your life is upsetting you and I allowed you time to process everything on your own terms barely mentioning being pregnant and the like. Now it is time to stop avoiding the situation or ignoring me when we used to chat EVERYDAY all day. I am heartbroken now that this may be a point of no return for our relationship and I only have you!
Love,
Your heartbroken sister

How could you possibly know how to stomp your feet already when you are mad? I have no idea how to stop your tantrums and I am worried I am raising a brat.
Signed,
Your terrified mother
Stop acting like your a better parent than me just because you babysit my kids while I work. My kids do not need you to make them four course breakfasts and lunches...in fact they are old enough to make those meals all on their own. Stop telling me that I don't take care of my kids or do enough around the house.....the second you go to work at 6am and work on your feet for 8 hours then come home to change and start running the kids from activity to activity until after 8pm everyday, we can talk about how much I do for my kids. You are a very grumpy person that needs to find a hobby other than trying to make my life miserable, I am a grown woman who obviously doesn't need you to raise my kids for me, I just need you to babysit them while I work.

Dear Office-mate,
I know this experience for you is as close as your going to get to being a grandmother for a while more (and that I remind you of your daughter who is older than me and lives out of state). I appreciate the unique relationship we have, and I honestly do like you.
Please understand, when I say "I don't need to be 'mommed' I mean all the silly little "of course, because you're pregnant" line of comments. Sometimes I just need to pee, I did that before the pregnancy, I still do. Sometimes I forget things, doesn't mean its pregnancy brain every.single.time. It feels like every conversation somehow goes back to me being pregnant.
I realize that in your mind asking you to not "mom" me has created a walk-on-egg-shells effect in our office. All I really meant, was forget that I'm pregnant and treat me like normal unless I specify otherwise. and if you were asking cloth vs pampers because you are already making office gift arrangements... please, remember I'm not stalling, I will make a wishlist after the a/s and there will still be plenty of time for you to plan. Not to sound ungrateful, I just know you're skills at over achieving can get out of hand.
Thanks,
Mildly annoyed but not nearly as much as you think I am.
and please, wipe that stupid "i'm so excited" look off your face... I don't even think I'm as excited as you are.
