Friday Letters







First day of school



Dear Children, things have been crazy with school starting already and I know you are all nervous. We have had so many huge changes this last year and I know it is so hard for all of you. I am trying to do my best for you. Dear MVD, It took 3 visits on 3 different days, but I finally got my Az drivers license again. It is just my luck that the first two days the system to do with drivers license went down state wide right after I got there. What was so maddening about it was I put make up on and straightened my hair. So I waited a week and went back, but made sure I curled my hair this time and that did the trick. I was out of there in 40 min. Dear Scouts, I never remember when it's time for you. Kade looooves scouts and I do not, I know nothing about it. At least it is at 6pm here instead of 7pm on a school night. Dear first day of school, the kids were nervous to start a new school again. And I teared up when I dropped Avary off for kindergarten. Luckily I picked up happy kids who had a great day. Dear Avary, you have a loose tooth and are excited for it to come out. On the first day of school you said you had to walk too much and your feet were tired. The second day you said you sat too long and wanted to get up, but the teacher is the only one allowed to. Luckily you only are gone for half day because I miss you. Dear Sister, I hope you have a wonderful birthday. I'm looking forward to celebrating with you. Dear Niece, Baby E, you are the cutest thing ever. I am so glad I get to finally hold you. Dear Ward Camp out, you won't be the same without Gma and Gpa. I am not looking forward to it at all, but I know the kids are or I would not be going. I will have to go berry picking again to make it worth it. Dear Sleep, for some reason I am not getting enough of you, you have never been wonderfully restful, but I miss you more than you know. Dear Az, I really don't like dripping sweat just to walk from the parking lot to the school to get the kids. I need a cool breeze with that please. Dear Mom & Dad, we miss you. I hope you are having fun. Dear Headaches, I'm not too happy to see you again, but excessive heat and extreme stress usually brings us together. Dear Self, I am so sad and exhausted. Remember: I can do hard things.
