Friday Letters

Dear Children, you have been saying the funniest things lately. I love that you can make me laugh. Dear Ranch, we didn't get to visit. The kids were so sad, but sick kids and the ranch don't sound fun to me. Maybe the 4th of July. Dear Hailey, I am really enjoying watching you at swim lessons. I think you have some talent there, you are graceful but quick. You make it look so easy. Dear Packing, we all know how I feel about you. I did pack two boxes of books and was proud of myself because I avoid you like the plague. I have so much to do in the next month it is a little well a lot overwhelming. Dear Sleep, you are not peaceful. I wake up to at least, yes, at least two kids in my bed about an hour after I fall asleep and then am squished and uncomfortable the rest of the night. And then I wake up with a headache or a neck that won't turn. Dear Goodwill, why did I buy furniture that needs to be fixed or sanded and refinished? When am I supposed to do this? In all my free time? Dear Ric, I hope you do well in your triathlon. Dear Hazel, when you are unhappy the whole world stops. You screamed and freaked out for hours the other day. I just happened to have a couple patience left at the time. I'm not sure anyone one else in the family or house did maybe you could tone it down 500 notches. Dear Sis, thanks for letting the girls come hang out and play for hours at your house, they think your house is awesome. Oh, and thanks for listening. Dear Kade, you woke up on the wrong side of the bed every day this week. Actually I wake up with you in my bed. Maybe if you slept in your bed you would wake up happier. Dear Avary, you told me "Mom my swim teacher's name is Tiger...or was it Cheetah?" I say "His name is TYLER" You said "No mom he told me it is TIGER...or was it Cheetah?" Dear Self, I wish I was better and knew the answer to everything. At least I will never run out of things to work on.
