Open Letter Time!

Dear Crazy Aunt,
Not every Facebook status update is a request for parenting advice. Actually none of them are.....I just like to share what I consider to be amusing anecdotes about my day. Please just click "Like".....that's all I really want. And please try to avoid all the profanity.....while I am not a prude, I have quite a varied audience on FB and would like to at least maintain the persona of being a lady. TB is for my crazy side.....and even that isn't all that crazy. :P
Hugs,
Your loving niece

Dear N,
Stop kicking your shoe off everywhere we go. Contrary to what you might believe, "Retrace your steps through the store to track down N's shoe" is actually not that fun of a game. I would post this letter on FB, but I'm afraid of what paragraph of advice I'd get from Crazy Aunt. She might suggest that I duct-tape the #*&@^% shoe to your foot or something.....
XOXOXOXOXO,
Mommy

Dear Self,
Why is there no ice cream in the house?????
Love,
Me

Anyone else?

Piggy backing off Vent:

Dear Mom,

After the age of 25, the whole birthday party thing needs to die down.  We might have to combine birthday parties, or someone might need to suck it up for a year and not get one.  We are all adults. It is a PITA, when we have Mothers Day, Fathers Day, and birthdays for my mom, my dad, my sister, and me all in a two month span.  Every single person is on board with a combined "summer birthday" celebration except you.  Stop bitching that we STILL haven't celebrated Dad's birthday because you were both in Russia for 2.5 weeks over his birthday. Don't even start bitching that we need to find a day to celebrate K's birthday because she is going to be in Barcelona and Nice for her birthday. 

New family rule: If you are busy traipsing through Europe on your birthday, the rest of the family does not need to break their necks trying to find a day to celebrate you.

Signed,

Your daughter who is expected to schedule her life around your travels

Another FB related one, Dear Grandma and distant aunt-in-law I've never met, I have unsubscribed from your facebook posts. I simply could not stand scrolling forever until I find someone that ISN'T one of you two. When I AM interested to see what you've been up to, anything important is lost in the sea of mindless shares that is your timeline. Similarly, please do not "like" every single picture in an album and/or every single thing I do on there. It's creepy. Signed, Concerned About Facebook Addiction Seriously, social media ettiquette is a thing. I've been dying to find a good article to share! Anybody have one?

If you find one, let me know.....

Dear weather Gods,
Please ensure the current forecast is incorrect and that it will really be sunny and beautiful in the outer banks next week.

Dear self, things will go much more smoothly at the beach if you don't try to read into everything your mother says. Some of it is probably passive aggressive, some of it might seem like it is but it probably isn't. It doesn't matter! Just don't think about it. You are in control of what you let bother you!

Dear SAHM board,
I'm done being a creepy lurker and I'm not going to make a weird intro. (Except this might be exactly that). I've officially been a SAHM for two months now so I'm gonna jump in. That's the right amount of time right??

Admiringly,
Me
