Re: Open Letter Thursday
Dear Manager,
You are super understanding of my situation and totally awesome and flexible, but yesterday when you said you sooooo needed a vacation, I wanted to laugh... OUT LOUD. You wake up at 5 every morning and go to the gym. I wake up at 5 and get puked on. My last vacation was in July with a sick kid. Your last vacation was 2 weeks ago.
Have a great time on your vacation for the next few days while we deal with snowmagedden.
Your loyal employee.
Dear DH,
Love you to pieces, but I really wish you wouldn't be such a grump in the morning. Oh no, you stayed up too late (playing a video game) and you were looking forward to 10 extra minutes of sleep? I'm sorry, I got up at 4:50 AM to feed a baby, pump my breasts, put lunch together for Chris, wake Chris up only to discover he's too sick to go to school; still get Chris up, teeth brushed, and dressed.
THEN I have to get the baby up and out of his crib and dressed as well.
ALSO I have to go 2 flights down to the laundry room to get you a shirt to wear for the day. Make myself some breakfast and get my pumping supplies clean, dry and ready to take to work.
IN ADDITION, I had to call the school and bus company to let them know Chris isn't going to school.
THEN I had to tell grandma that Chris isn't going to school, explain what's going on and answer all her questions.
AT SOME POINT, I also needed to get dressed for work.
YOU - sat on the couch and put the baby in your lap thereby making yourself "unable" to help with anything else.
So please forgive me if I'm not all that sympathetic about how tired you are this morning.
Love, Your harried wife.
(whew! that felt good)
Dear family members,
I need some time to adjust to my DS's diagnosis and there is nothing wrong with that. Just because I am not my normal bubbly self doesn't meant I don't love my son just as much, it just means I am processing this and its going to take some time.
Thank you,
completely stressed out mom
Dear uterus,
You need to calm down and stop cramping and contracting. This baby needs to cook for at least 9 more weeks and I do not have time to be on bed rest because you aren't happy.
Thank you,
tired mom
Therapy sucked today, it's not the end of the world that you couldn't come up with enough responses, you will get there. Love yourself more.
Signed,
Me, myself, and I
Dear forensic Dr,
Thank you for calling me back today! You have no idea what a relief it is to know that Owl doesn't have any brain damage, you have given me permission to move on to the neglect theory.
One happy mama
Dear bio mom,
I keep thinking about you and how much your heart must hurt. This experience is bittersweet for me, I want the girls as my daughters but that means you had to lose them, a hurt in exchange for a happiness... I respect you, you were nothing but nice to me, you will be a part of my life forever and I am glad of that.
Sincerely,
Adoptive mom

Dear Nate,
Stop with the taking off your shoes and socks as soon as you get bored in the car. I am soooo over it.
Love you lots,
Mommy
