Open letter Wednesday
We did it last week and I thought it was cathartic. So let's try it again.
In case you missed it: write a letter to someone or something. I'll start so you have a examples:
Dear DD,
You gave me a heart attack Saturday morning when your ear drum ruptured. I am so glad you are ok, but could you save the runs to the emergency room for when Daddy is not out of town? Thanks.
Love, heart attack surviving mommy
Dear neighbor,
Why did you put your house on the market the week before Thanksgiving? Could you please put pictures of the interior on Realtor.com so I can see what my competition looks like, because judging from the outside and your complete lack of intelligence, it's a dump in there, giving good reason for the low price.
sincerely, nosy neighbor
Dear Mom,
Please stop telling me about your looser ex-boyfriend that you are still sleeping with. I know it's convenient to still have him in your life, but you deserve so much better. Move on please.
Love, someone who loves you far more than he ever will

Re: Open letter Wednesday
Dear Picture People:
Did you really think that having two photographers and one person at the front desk would be sufficient for a morning when you had what seemed to be 30 appointments set? And how could you possibly have been running 25 minutes behind when my appointment was 10 minutes after you opened? I suggest that someone look at the schedule of appointments at least a couple of days in advance to make sure your staffing levels are appropriate.

Dear employees that I supervise,
I was all set to let you go home early today until you showed up at 9:30 and 10 am respectively. Now I will leave early and expect you to stay until the office closes due to your poor use of time and I won't feel guilty about it at all.
Sincerely,
Your scroogy boss
Uh oh.. I've been getting in at 9:30 pretty regularly... Paul? Is that you?
LMAO!! That was awesome!

LOL! I normally wouldn't care, but both act like they are over-worked and don't have time to do anything. They're also in internal client service positions, so really should be here when the office opens at 9 (which I don't think is super early or anything). Should I add that neither has kids or has to do daycare drop off in the mornings? I wouldn't care if it was a once in awhile thing, but it's every day for no reason other than not getting up on time. I have a hard time being sympathetic when I slept like crap last night b/c I found out that, yes indeed, my bed can sleep 4 people.
Dear Wednesday:
End already.
Signed, a very tired social worker.
Dear Homeless Man Who I Hospitalized Today
I am deeply sorry for the condition of your life. I truly feel bad that you have not eaten a decent meal in weeks and that you have been wandering the streets in Michigan in November (and the weeks prior), cold, tired, hungry and severly mentally ill. I hope and pray you get what you need now that you are in the hospital psych ward.
However, the spitting at me and the bugs that ran away when they gave you a hospital gown and put your clothes on the floor were two experiences I never wish to have again...
Sincerely, a very grossed out social worker.
Dear Boss,
After my hellish morning of following the police to the hospital to admit a smelly, dirty, bug ridden, spitting, angry, combative, mentally ill homeless man to the psych ward, I was hoping you would allow me to go home early, or at the very least hide in my office and play on the computer for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, neither of these things happened. You should be ashamed.
A very disappointed social worker.
Dear DD,
When you violently spit up peaches and formula all over mommy's ONLY OSU sweatshirt and I have to change out of my jeans because casuaul Wednesday only applies while wearing college football appareal it makes mommy very sad. Next time please save your explosion for the car seat, at least we have two of those.
Love, your very uncomfrotable in dress pants while the entire office is in jeans mommy
Dear DW,
I appreciate all of the help you have been giving me since we had our come to Jesus speech, however when it takes nearly twenty minutes to dress our child because I have NO idea where you put her laundry at when I asked you to fold it last night it makes me crazy. Next time look at the contents of the drawer before placing things in random places.
Love, your frazzled wife
Dear Thighs and a$$,
I am sorry for what I am about to do to you tomorrow.
I work in a hospital and see first hand all that you do. You are amazing. Please know that the world owes you so much, even if your boss doesn't appreciate you. Thank you!!

Dear DH,
It is wednesday-not saturday. You know that there is a rule about sex during the week. That means that there is no sex tonight. Yes I know that we will have family in town all weekend and that there will be no more opportunity but I am too busy peeling stupid potatoes for tomorrow. I also have to make up the guest bedrooms, do dishes and order you around to help me complete things. Please stop pawing at me-I love you but its annoying.
Love,
your wife
