Dear Children, you had a great Christmas with lots of whooping and screaming. And then a lot of Mom telling you to pick up all of your toys before I take them. We are limited on space you know. Dear Ric, we enjoyed our time with you and all the awesome gifts. You actually got me a gift for Christmas and it was definitely a huge surprise, Thank you. I hope this can be the start to a new friendship, who knew you could actually communicate with me, it's not so bad is it? The kids miss you already. Dear Christmas, it was nice to be together as a family and see how happy the kids were. Dear Santa, you were very good to us this year, we are all enjoying our toys. Dear Kade, It was a little scary to me to when a 13yr old boy came in our yard and tried to choke you, threw you on the ground and tried to break your new toy. I am glad you hit him in the head and kicked him in the leg, but I know it scared you. Luckily your cousins were there. Don't worry we found him and gave him a good scare to call the cops if he ever comes on our street again and told him how stupid it is to hurt a little kid right next to a fire station. Now maybe you will understand why I won't let you play in the front yard. And then you smashed your finger in the car door, rough week. Dear Massage, so glad I have a secret friend who arranged for me to have a massage, especially when my neck has been causing so much pain. So here's a random note to the anonymous, even though I think I know who you are and I love you, Thank You it was truly the best massage I've ever had. I could actually turn my neck for the rest of the day. That was so unselfish of you to do that for me. Dear Church, I like you don't get me wrong. But I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed going home after only one hour. I do see that wouldn't benefit us all enough on a weekly basis though. Dear Hair, I have enjoyed NOT blow drying my hair all week, except Monday (don't say I never did anything for you Ric)It can be scary to see I know, but I keep it put up in a ponybob to contain the craziness. If you have never seen it in it's natural state, which most of you have not, then you can't appreciate what I do for you if you have to be seen with me. Someday I will get a trim because I like it long and I will have it dyed a vary dark rich brown color. I've always wished I had black hair you know, like my family. Dear Dentist, changing my appointment for my crown from 8:20am to 12:00pm a day early was awesome. Dear Self, I am trying to remember I am not alone even though it feels that way. I am in a really difficult time of my life and it feels impossible to see that things will work out. I need to remember that the Lord loves me and will show me the way. Why is that so easy to forget?
