Dear Children, some days you really miss your dad and you cry. It doesn't help that no one is feeling well and it's really hot. Dear 1/2 Day, of school. What will we do the entire rest of the day! I vote we do not get in the car or anywhere near the car or go anywhere for that matter. Just.Stay.Home. Dear Dentist, you are really handy when your kids crack a tooth. Two of my children have a crack in their molar, what are they doing? Chewing on rocks? Or could it be big cups of ice? hmm Dear Sickness, you are still hanging around making life really miserable for me. And now you are spreading to the others, you've got a lot of nerve. Dear Heat Advisory, you're killing me, you're draining the very life out of me. I wouldn't complain if I didn't have to stand around in your heavy rays pouring sweat all because my kids school has parking issues and the school feels miles away from the car. Lets not even mention the heat level in the car. Yeah I know, waa waa, I'm being a baby. But seriously, it's hot. Dear Rocky Road Ice Cream, I love your chocolate covered almonds. They are one of a kind. I've made a habit of eating you every night with my sis, and I don't even like ice cream really. Dear Sis, I have enjoyed having you around after the kids are in bed and I am feeling really sad. Sorry for forcing you to eat late night snacks. Dear Mom and Dad, we are all so glad you are back. I hope we don't scare you away with all of our noise. Dear Unpacking, you came to a grinding holt when I got sick, and I think we might have gone a little backwards in that area. Dear Whisper Dinner, I think we have found a winner. Feeding six kids can get loud, especially when they are loud talkers even when they are right next to you. So a dinner of only talking in a whisper or not at all was funny for them and just what the Dr. ordered for the adults. Dear Self, remember that everything I do not get done today will still be waiting for me tomorrow. And since I can't walk around all day crying, just don't even think about tomorrow. Stay in today and remember it has to end at some point, even if it's long after the sun has set.
