Dear 4 year old beautiful daughter of mine,
Why oh why do you resist brushing your teeth in the morning? YOU HAVE TO! It is not a choice. When I try to brush them for you, please open your mouth and stop biting down on the tooth brush. And yes, gotta wash that face too. Trust me, I do all of this because I love you.
P.S. No, you can't have a gumball at 6am.
Love,
Your sleepy mother

Dear Asshat that cut me off this morning,
Do you really think that cutting me off this morning was necessary so that you could change lanes just to go 5 miles faster than me? When we got to the red light, guess what, we were at the same place but I didn't cut anyone off to get there. So kiss my *kitten*, it was 6:30am and I was trying to wake up and concentrate on staying in my lane rather than going 80 miles per hour.
Love,
The chick that gave you the evil eye this morning

Dear Family,
Why must laundry sit on the couch folded for over 48 hours? I folded it the least someone could do is put it away...it will sit there until you do! :-)

awesome! My letter would mimic yours to your daughter... same age and same issue!0

Dear Mom,
We don't care that the laundry sits on the couch. We'll grab what we need and leave the rest to sit there and annoy you. It will sit there until you force us to put them away. Waiting won't do anything for you.
Love,
Your family.
(That is what my family would do)

Dear loud talking children,
It is 6am. Momma has not quite woken up yet. Please quiet down, and come sit down for breakfast.
Love,
Your Mom
Dear screaming 4 year old daughter,
I can help you zip your jacket. It is not difficult for me to get it started and then you can finish it. There is no reason to sit on the kitchen floor screaming and kicking. Just stand up and then we can leave. It really should not be an issue.
Love,
Your overstimulated mother

Dearest Teenage daughter,
Why must EVERYTHING be about you, your day, your drama, your life? Sometimes mom has a rough day and doesn't want to hear your nonstop bable for two hours..... I love you and enjoy hearing your stories, but today is about ME!
Love,
Mom0 -
Dear the stupid man in the pickup truck this morning,
Was it truly necessary to tailgate me on a two lane highway? I was going 65 in a 55 - how fast do you need to go? BTW - I am glad you got stuck behind that Rig :-)

My 4 year old insists on zipping her jackets too.

Dear Co-worker,
For real? You need to be THAT loud on the phone? Gah.
Love,
I wish you would STFU for a minute.

Dear Parents of the Kids that I babysit:
I know that your life is hectic but please remember that mine is too. When you say you will be here at 7 but show up at 8 that hour is lost for me, that is an hour where instead of starting a chore, craft or time with my own child waiting. If you are going to run late please just call. Also, what you pay me each week is my income. You aren't able to go pump gas or buy groceries and tell the retailer you might just have to pay them next week, please don't think you can for me. My family has bills to pay also.
Love,
Your child care provider
Dear Parents of My Own:
I love you all and want to help take care of all 6 of you (in laws and step parents of course included). However, there is one of me. I am doing the best I can, most of you live far away and at this point I have to take care of you in order of who really needs me the most right now. So sorry mom but the father in law who had a stroke last week will come ahead of getting your Christmas decorations out on Halloween night. And my dear loving mother in law, I am sorry that we only came over 4 times last week instead of 5, it's just sometimes we run out of time.
Love,
stressed out but loving daughter/daughter-in-law0 -
Dear All of the People Who Have Interviewed Me Over the Past Two Weeks,
Please call me back offering me a job... soon. As in now. I'm not looking for a life-changing career, just a nice job that I like with good pay. I'm running out of money and all I really want is to be able to go to happy hour and not worry about glass numero uno of vino!
Also, if you don't want to hire me (which is ridiculous given I'm perfect :-P), please call me and let me know. The waiting game is KILLING me!!!
Love,
Unemployed Chicky with a Need for Vino
Dear Mr. Really Freaking Amazing,
Please pick me. I'm going to go all Grey's Anatomy on you and give you the "Choose me, pick me, love me" speech pretty soon. Yes, I realize you've been with her for 2 1/2 years but if you could listen to yourself talk, you would realize how unhappy you sound. I think I'm pretty perfect for you and that you are for me. So grow a pair, and see what is GREAT right in front of you instead of what is familiar and safe!!!! I'll be waiting...
Love,
Falling for You Hard
Dear Apartment-Mates,
BUY TOILET PAPER! I've bought it the last few times, YOUR TURN!
Love,
I have to go!
Dear Granola Bar,
Thanks for perking me up this am.

Dear creepy gym guy,
Please stop watching me run while you sit on the leg press machine. You're kinda creeping me out, and now I wanna bring mace to do my workouts.
Thanks,
One of the girls you stalk at the gym
Dear Casey
My sweet one year old baby girl, please stop waking up 3 times a night. Mommy needs her energy to go to the gym at 5AM.
Love you sweet kissable cheeks!
Love, Mommy0 -
Dear illusive inspiration,
Why must you plague me with your tempting ideas, only to not give me any motivation to actually get them down on paper? It's really not fair that you put these things in my mind and immediately rip them away when faced with a blank page. Don't you know I have to turn in at least 20 pages next week? And 20 more the week after? Why don't you move my fingers to do your bidding? You've done it before. Have I done something to upset you? Whatever I've done, I'm sorry. Now, please, help me out.
Thank you,
Your humble instrument
Dear foggy head,
I gave you almost 8 hours of sleep last night. You shouldn't be so sleepy! I don't know what's wrong with you. I'm feeding you properly, and using you often. You need to wake the hell up.

Dear Boyfriend,
Would it kill you to put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher? Ya know by the time you rinse the bowl out, put dish detergent in it and then run water in it to let it sit, you could have put the freaking thing in the dishwasher!!!!
Love, your girleyfriend
And dear older sister #1, for over 3 months you know that I workout as soon as I get home from work and I'm not finished until 6:30 at the earliest, so why do you continue to call me at 6:00 to see what I'm doing????? What I am doing is working out and for the umptinth time, I am not stopping my workout to pick up the dang phone!!!!
Love, your baby sister0 -
Dear Step Brother and his girlfriend,
Your both adults, get off your butts and get a job.
Sherrie
Yeah, if that was for real, it would be awhole lot longer; think I wil leave it short and sweet for here....lol0 -
Dear 4 month old son of mine, please stop waking up at 4 am, you're really making things tough on your mother (PS i'm already gone by then, so no one say I should get him ) And also please "use" the restroom before you go to sleep so I don't have a disaster to clean in your crib in the middle of the night. Thanks 0
