Friday Letters


One sis has spelled my name wrong my whole life and my kids, i'm unsure how to interpret this. Apparently she passed it on because my niece created this banner for Papa.

Dear Children, you have all passed around a yucky cough this week. Kind of inevitable when you are sharing a room. Dear Sis, I love that when I look over at you and see your face and you say "um there is something really bad" in a calm voice, I know to run away. (that proves you love me) And that's exactly what I did...I ran...laughing a weird scream...and my eyes watered a little. And you gagged. Luckily nephew was around to save us. Why does everyone look disgusted when we call for help. Dear Scout Pack Meeting, fire safety is a good thing, especially when I have a child who is obsessed with fire. But I still can't say I like pack meetings. Dear Hailey, you have been singing in the choir with your grammy, it makes you feel so happy. I like that. I catch you belting it out all the time. Weather or not you will have mine or your fathers genes is still undecided, hoping it's not mine. Dear Dad, I hope you had a wonderful Birthday. I love and appreciate you more than words can say. Dear Karen & neice H, Happy Birthday to you too. I hope you had a great day. Dear Awkward, when my 5yr old tells an adult man that it looks like he is growing some boobs...and my response is to say she's 5 and walk away really fast. Dear Life, I feel dizzy from how busy you are. It is always something and somewhere to be and something we forgot or are behind on. Craziness I tell you, just craziness. Dear Self, it is hard to change the way I am so used to thinking about some things especially when your feelings don't match. It's hard work.
