I am really going to miss this, and I know my girls will to.
Dear Children, you have been going a little nuts with all of the changes around here. Are you ready for our first night in the roach shack? Dear Moving, you are so exhausting. I have really learned to hate moving. I pack and pack some more and it never seems to be done. Dear Cockroaches, you exist just to make my life miserable. After making a fool of myself while moving stuff in the shack I go to church the next morning sit down in class and there is a dead roach right in front of me. The next two hours were torture. Then the next night a live roach runs across the kitchen. I got Nephew out of bed to kill it and ran to my room. Dear Prayer, I know the Lord hears me. When I feel so alone I pray and ask to not be so alone and the next couple of days I get calls, I think just to remind me that I am not all alone. Dear Gma Sutton, I still feel like you are my Grandma, you are the only Grandma I've had for so long. I hope you know that I am thinking of you every day and you are in my prayers. Heal quickly! Dear Babysitting, if that is what you would call it. I go to the nicest lady's house to help keep an eye out for my niece, but I had a teenage sidekick and my kids and the nice lady who let us swim in her awesome pool and fed us pizza and cookies and popcorn. Um sign me up anytime for that. Dear B&L, thanks for dinner and playing with my kids. Dear A, it was fun talking to you, even if we did give up most of our sleep for it. Dear Spray Paint, I don't know why I get furniture from goodwill and think, oh a fresh coat of pain and that will look great! I do not have time to paint furniture and it is really really hot outside. I ended up with a nice result on one piece, but then it got dark and there was no way I was going to do it again the next day. I painted the chair in the dark and while I was at it I had painted myself black. My feet were stuck to my flips. I had to scrub paint off for like an hour. And the chair looks kind of crappy. Dear Marilyn, I am sad to be moving and not be able to come to you for advice. You have helped me so much, you are so patient with me, you make me a better person. Thank You so much, I love you! I hope you only get happy emails from me. Dear Sister, we have spent so much time together and you have been so supportive of me. And our girls are such good friends. It makes it hard to leave. Dear To Do List, you are never ending and it seems like all the important things never seem to get done. Dear Self, I can do hard things AND I am not alone even when it feels like I am.
