Dear Children, I have had to crack down a little to remind you that I am the parent and you are the children, it is very hard for me. You will thank me later...maybe. Dear Deodorant, I have to say that one of the things that really frustrate me and actually make me yell "WHY???" is when I drop my deodorant on the floor when the lid is off. Think about it. Dear Bike Ride, four miles with Ric and six kids was...fun. I enjoyed it, except the part when Kade and Avary totally wiped out, that made me really sad. Dear Dentist, give me the gas please. After an appointment mix up and a rush to finish my dental work before losing my insurance I spent almost two hours in the chair. And had no control over the bottom half of my face for the next four hours, it felt like it was missing. Until the numbness wore off that is, then there was pain and a killer headache. But for the first time maybe ever I do not have a cavity in my mouth. Putting it off came back to bite me. Dear Miracle, after my dental work I took all four kids to their Dentist, the same day. None of them had a cavity! This is a first and a miracle I tell you. I guess the trick is to start slacking and tell the kids to brush their teeth, but not really check because that is how the last 6 months have gone and now there's no cavities? Dear Kade, I think you have survived the flu after a very long night of throwing up every 15 min. You finally fell asleep around 7am. The problem is Hazel decided to join the barf party at 6:30am. Dear Flu, I am glad I got you first so I would be able to take care of the little chicks. It breaks my heart to see them sick. 3 down 2 to go. Lets hope I survive. Dear Headaches, really you make life unbearable when I go to sleep and wake up with you for days. I really do say prayers of thanks for every day that I do not suffer from a blinding headache. Dear Hazel, I think you may be the only 4 yr old to walk up to their mom and say "mom, I am a jelly-aholic". I'm going to have to keep an extra eye on you. Dear Ric, you are here to take Kade to the father&son campout. I am glad you came, it means the world to him. Dear Self, I have been pushed to the limits in many areas lately. Seriously, I am still on "I can do hard things".
