We are down 2 pounds and already feel "lighter" Keep it moving! Summer doesn't have the layers to hide in.
Dear BM#1,
Sorry I snipped at you the other day. I didn't let you finish before I got mad. When you called and said "I hope you didn't buy SDs (BM#2s children not hers) dresses for the dance" with an attitude I immediately got pissy. Come to find out you only heard they may not go now and you were not in my checkbook. Sorry again!
Dear DH,
Love you! We have so much going on right now and I am glad you are trying just as hard to keep getting things done.
Dear Self,
Please find the motivation to clean the house. I know things have been pretty sh!ty lately, but you will be less stressed in a clean environment.

Dear ODS,
You are such a smart boy. I know you don't understand what's going on, but please stop making bad choices.

Dear YDS,
Thank you for sleeping until 5 the last few days. I love not getting up several times a night.

Dear H,
Your "feel sorry for me" act is getting old. You're the one who cheated on me. I don't really care how sad you are about it because all I can think of is how you lied to me all this time and put my health at risk. Go do those things I told you were my conditions, then we'll talk.
Your fed up wife
Dear school assignments,
If you can't write yourselves, could you at least be brilliant? I've got a lot riding on this. Kthanxbye.
Learn how to read. The February CO clearly says you are to talk with DH and I about visitation this summer and if we don't agree, we go to court. Clearly. Quit reading it how you want it to read.
The last three times you were supposed to get DS you wanted to reschedule for bullcrap reasons and when I said no you were magically able to be at the meeting spot on time. Now you pull this again, except you want to claim work wants you to stay late. I don't buy it. Especially when again I say I'm not rescheduling and yet again you are magically able to be there. Stop putting off getting your son, a$$hat. Be reliable for his sake. I'm getting tired of getting a message every other week with some BS reason.
Thank you for hearing DS when he called you last night to tell you he didn't want to do the baseball clinic in your town. It was very hard for him to do that and I am so grateful you listened to him and said he didn't have to do it.
Dear DS
I am so proud of you for telling your Dad how you feel. That was hard and scary and you were so brave. I love you.

Please for the love of God....stop being so lazy. I know some of the things we talk to you about aren't life altering but just think about what you are doing as you are doing them. A single slice of bread doesn't belong on top of the sealed loaf because you didn't feel like putting it back in the bag. I love you very much but please just focus more.

Dear SS1,
I know that hamster you saw yesterday was super cute and you really wanted him. I hope you understood why we didn't go back to the store to get him for you. It wasn't about being mean or anything like that, it was just an impulse buy at that time. We'll get the old cage set up and if you truely want to buy him with your allowance then you can, you just need to earn that money first. I promise you will get another awesome hamster and just the one that is right for you. It will happen, just be patient.
XO,
SM and Dad
Dear SS1 and SS2,
Thank you so much for being so good about baths and your clothes the past few days. Its a lot eaiser on your dad and me when you guys aren't constantly complaining when you are asked to do something. If we work together to get a little bit done each day then we'll have more free time on the weekends for fun stuff.
XO,
SM and Dad
Dear FI,
Thank you for thinking of me yesterday when you brought home that "stupid goldfish" as a surprise. He's super cute and I love knowing you are always thinking about me. I know you are working extra hard for the wedding so I'm picking up the slack with the house. I really do appreciate it and don't mind pitching in more often. With that being said, if you use something, please put it back where you found it and see if you can manage getting your clothes *into* the hamper. Your little boys watch you do this.......and then they do it too. See above letter to SS1
please learn to spell. Your emails look like our 8 yr old typed them. Not sure how you are supposed to help kids with their homework. And when will the kids meet your gf? Are you ashamed of our special needs son?
I truly hope you're reading this. You can make any asinine decisions about your child the court allows but you better watch yourself threatening my child. You might just have bitten off more than your mouth could chew. Good luck with that, sincerely
Seriously? Thanks for the laugh this week. I know you wanted to act like SS had been riding a bike without training wheels forever, even though we all know DH and I taught him last weekend, but if you're going to lie straight to our faces, at least get on the same page as your mom. We couldn't help but laugh when she excitedly sent us a picture of him riding this week! Also shocking that she thought he seriously just picked up the bike and knew what to do...he asked for the training wheels off and jumped on and "rode like crazy..." hmm maybe because we really did teach him something new! Now please, quit saying how ok you are with everything and how you are "the bigger person" until you can actually act like it. Actions speak louder!
~DH and SM~
Dear BM's new BF,
If that's who you really are...and I really hope so. Please please be the fantastic influence and support she needs in her life. Please see the side of her that we never get to see and make it shine, we could all use a break from the nonsense.
~Your Biggest Supporters~
Dear SS,
We are so proud of you and can't wait to see you this weekend. Let's aim for another awesome weekend like the last ok? We have lots of family to see and things planned so please be in a great mood
Love you!
~Daddy and SM~
Dear DH,
Thank you so much for all you've done lately. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the hard work you've been putting in around the house, it's really looking great. I know giving up your AR was a big sacrafice for you and I hope that I can bring a smile back to your face on your birthday in two weeks with the awesome surprise I have planned for you!

Thank you for handling the IUD removal so well yesterday! Here's hoping you can adjust back to the regular schedule just as easily!
