Dear Children, I love you. Dear Picture Day, so far I think you were a success. We practiced which smile to use so it didn't get out of hand. Now we wait for the day we find out if it paid off. It better because those prices for 3 kids are a killer I tell ya, and I got the cheapest ones with no class picture. I'll just get a year book. Dear Conference, I enjoyed lounging around listening to your uplifting words. I kept us locked upstairs and only came out for food. It was nice. Dear Life, how can you really be so busy all the time. Does everyone have a million appointments and errands like we do? I feel stretched thin. Dear October Break, oh I cannot wait. I think we need a little break from the craziness. I hope there are no church meetings for the kids. I just want to hang around and do nothing. Dear Weather, after being here during the hottest part of summer, a cloudy, windy, rainy day was welcomed. Even a little thunder too. Sometimes those are my favorite. Dear Hazelnut, Happy Birthday! You are 4yrs old today. My Baby is 4. I wish you would stay my baby forever, with a little less crying though, ha. I hope you love your Dora party tonight. I think it will go ok as long as you get pink frosting. Dear 7:40AM, I think this is a crappy time for an appointment when I have to bring all the kids along. I mean if I have to look presentable and not scary and I have to do 3 girls hair and feed them food and make sure they brush their teeth and they have to have clothes and closed toe shoes on, then it's a crappy time for an appointment. Like I said. Dear Awkward, when we walked out of the Dr. office right at the same moment that a man standing outside on the phone "broke wind" quite loudly and then saw us walking by. Little did he know we were rushing by holding our breath trying not to laugh. Yeah, that was awkward. Dear Dr., I don't know if I have ever met a nicer Dr. Podiatrist that is. You are a Bishop and seem genuinely concerned about our well being. On the first appointment you were one of those who told me the Lord has not forgotten me. I don't usually get that response at Dr. visits. I always leave feeling uplifted. I think it's funny. Dear Phone, I don't understand why my ringers randomly change them self. I never know if my phone is ringing because the sound keeps changing. It's almost creepy. Dear Self, some days I feel like I fail at everything. I think we have established that. I have come a long way, but still have a long way to go.
