Re: Open Letter Wednesday
Dear Company DH interviewed with on Friday,
Can you call him back and let him know where he stands? It's driving him nuts and he wants to know if you are thinking about bringing him back in or what your plan is. You better hurry up and make a decision, or you might lose this one.
Much thanks, Happy Wife
Dear Company DH interviewed with yesterday,
Sounds like you are going to move fast with a decision, which we are grateful for, but do you have to be so darn far away? DH likes you, but doesn't like the commute.

Dear Company DH is interviewing with today,
Show me the money! I mean, show DH the money. DH big pink puffy hearts you and your staff, and it sounds like you feel the same way about DH since you are bringing him in for a 2nd interview today. But maybe you can increase the salary range by just a teeny tad?? Oh, and an offer by this weekend won't hurt either.
Lots of

Dear Mom,
Stop saying how "you did it with two." That doesn't make us want to have another kid. That just makes us want to lash out at you. It doesn't make your visit any easier.
love, your daughter
DH,
What can I say? You are driving me crazy!
You are on antibiotics for bronchitis. First you say you are better, well enough for sex and then when it comes to something you don't want to do, you come and say your sick.
I am not sorry. I am going to consider you a walking plague for the next five days while on the rest of antibiotics. So suck it up because I am not going to put up with this.
Your annoyed, irritable wife
DS,
Your dad and I were picky eaters as children. And your dad is still picky. Karma got to us. Please eat something, anything for dinner.
I guess it does not help much when you have 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 1 snack at preschool and daycare. At least I know you will not starve that bad.
Mommy
Dear Nabisco,
Can you please stop making double stuff oreos taste so good? I think I have a problem.
Sincerely,
Yes I'm breastfeeding but really shouldn't be using it as an excuse to eat more cookies
Dear Students:
WTF? Research papers with no research in them? Empty documents turned in accidentally to the online course dropbox? I'm being nice and calling you personally at home if you accidentally attached the wrong paper, or an empty document, etc., but please, it's college...

Dear Fiction Writing Students:
Thank you for the fabulous reading you gave yesterday for your Final. Some of you will have your names on the front covers of books someday, I just know it!

Dear friend whose book was just bought by Reese Witherspoon to be made into a movie:
Can I be you? Please? You're amazing! I'm so excited for you (and a teensy bit jealous). But you're definitely making me want to finish my work.

Well, it's going to be a long one today.
Dear DS,
I miss you terribly. You are such a precious, sweet, and happy boy and I wish I could spend more time with you. I hate when I have to drop you off at day care and I am always tempted to call in sick - especially this morning. But I know how happy you are at day care and that you love being there, and that makes me happy as well. Just wish I got to see you more. : )
Love, Mommy
Dear DH,
I am pretty much about to punch you in the face and I really wish you would get your act together. I know that you are perfectly capable of taking care of DS, so I don't understand why you continue to ignore some of the most basic aspects of parenting. If you don't start listening to me, I am going to physically hurt you. It is not okay to disregard how I told you that DS needed a nap yesterday b/c he didn't take a good one at day care AND he has a double ear infection and yet you decided you'd rather go for a run so you counted his "nap" in the stroller for 20 whole minutes as his entire afternoon nap. Stop being selfish. You're pissing me off a lot lately.
Sincerely,
Sleep with one eye open
Dear Boss Lady,
While I generally like you and am super appreciative of how understanding you are about DS's constant doctor's appts and illnesses, I really wish you would get your act together. Just b/c you are pregnant doesn't mean you can't ever really "be" here. You are a manager and I am quite confident you haven't been managing ANYTHING for the last few months. Myself and the other co-workers who are under you really need your help and cooperation in order to make everyone's jobs easier.
Thanks,
Tired of asking for help and not getting it for months

Dear Mom,
Every time you question one of my parenting decisions, I lie to you and tell you that the doctor OK'd it. I don't give a flying monkey butt if you, the doctor, or the pope approve of my decision to co-sleep, use cloth diapers and natural lotions/rash ointments, and babywear. But having been down the same road with you time and time again, I'm done explaining and re-explaining MY decisions for MY daughter.

your love you but not liking you daughter
Dear new job,
I'm terrified of getting into a new field entirely as well as going back to work 40 hrs/wk. Please be easier than I am anticipating.

Dear DH,
Thanks for the support to start my own business. It means the world to me that you really think I can do this, even though I know that the rest of my family thinks I'm nuts. Once I get through this temp FT job (above), I hope my own business takes off so that I won't have to work a regular FT job as well.
love,
your grateful wife
Dear Little Man,
Your Mom is on her own this week with Dad out of town. I know you're going through the infamous four month sleep regression, however, I REALLY need you to sleep. This whole waking up 5-8 times a night is just not okay. Mommy is barely making it through the work day.
Love,
Your sleep deprived Mom
Dear potential new employer,
We have been going through the interview process on and off since August when your recruiter contacted me. However, this new position, contract to hire, is much riskier for me. I currently have wonderful benefits and am a FTE. Like I said, because the new position is CTH, benefits are fewer and the ones available through the contracting agency are much more expensive. Greater risk and crappier benefits means I need to be compensated for the risk and increased costs. I told you my minimum salary and you came back with 5k less. You shouldn't be surprised that I rejected the offer. I'm growing tired of this process and increasingly ambivalent about the whole thing. Make your final offer already but don't be shocked if I pass on the position if it is less than what my stated minimum is.
Sincerely,
One tired prospective employee

Dear Boss,
I'm sorry that I made a mistake 7 months ago that was brought to my attention and you were cc'd on the email. This does not mean that you need to schedule an hour meeting to discuss thing. Seriously. Yes I messed up. And I fixed it today, even though you don't know what the heck you're looking at when I told you its done and you go to double check it, and then think I did it wrong, again.
I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow since I'd like to take the day off on Friday, that you previously approved. An hour IS going to make a difference if your stupid meeting takes that long.
Dear DD,
Please stop throwing yourself on the ground and having a kicking screaming fit. I will put you in your room on time out for kicking me, hitting me, etc. Please stop it.
Haha! Love this, mainly because I do the exact same thing!!
