Dear Children, you are why I get out of bed every day and why I pray throughout the rest of it. You are the reason I cry and the reason I smile. I hope not a day goes by that you don't know how much I love you. Dear Originals, aka Dad's siblings. It was nice to see you again. I find it strange that none of you seem to age, you all look the same to me. Dear Avary, I'm sorry we had to change your Birthday Party. We had some long nights of no sleep with you in agony from an ear infection. My Poor babycakes. You turned 6yrs old anyway. Love You! Dear Car, I should have known. The day after I pay you off we get a dent down the side. Dear Hazel, you and your sis share everything including your fever, which of course is always raging during normal sleeping hours. Dear Sleep, will we ever be together again? It has been such a long week with not much sleep, I can't even remember this morning, I don't think me or the little girls even ate breakfast. We can't remember if that was today or yesterday. Dear Weather, I think I saw a little rain, yes I think that was why the skylight was leaking. And was that a day not under threat of 100*, yes, why I think it was. Dear Awkward, in the parenting in divorce class during the break the couple next to me had an argument in sign language, but they are not deaf. That's ok just pretend like I'm not here. Dear Sis, you can always make me laugh when I want to cry. It's the best therapy, except when I need to pee and you choke on your spit cause you think there is a moth in the car, that is just dangerous. Dear Halloween, I'm not ready for you. And I don't want to go trick or treating. I have lost my holiday cheer. That might be against the law or something. Dear Self, I may feel overwhelmed and unable, but I am blessed beyond my own ability every single day.
