thursday letters

Dear Florida,

I'd like to thank you in advance for welcoming myself, the husband and my two monkey children. I hope you treat us well. May your sun shine on us and may your beaches be totally awesome. I can't wait to put my feet in the sand!

Returning Floridian,

K

Dear Cat,

Please do not tear up the house while we are away. Be kind to the lady with the accent... she will feed you. It would be much appreciated if you didn't jump on my bed immediately after getting out of the litter box. Thanks.

Don't want to skin a cat,

K

Dear Rice Krispy Treats,

I hate you because you are soooooooo good. Who knew that cereal and marshmellows could be so deliciouslystickyyummy.

Happy Snacker

Dear Kid and Snugglebug,

As excited as I am about our trip, it really is for YOU. I am so excited to watch you both experience a week at the beach and can't wait to see your excitement at Disney World.

Giddy Mom,

K

Dear Hubby,

Love you. I can't wait to start our adventure. Let's see if we can break our habit of nearly everything going wrong during a trip...

Giddy Wife,

thursday letters... ummm.... .

Dear Thursday,

You went too fast for me to post these letters, but I'm okay with that. It only brought the weekend to me quicker.

Love me some weekends,

K

Dear Kid,

Three bear hugs for suggesting that we all go get ice cream after dinner the other night. I love how your mind works.

Mom of a Braum's Kid,

K

Dear Snugglebug,

I am so proud of you for getting in grandma and grandpa's pool on your own and swimming around. You looked so cute in your Dora life jacket and swimming around so happily.

Mom of a little fishy,

K

Dear Hubby,

Thank you for taking the kids out so I could nap on Saturday. Thank you for still playing with me, I love that we can laugh and have fun.

Giggles,

K

Dear K,

Ya, next time you go to the pool, how about some 100 spf, because this sunburn you are rocking hurts.

Lookin like a lobster,

K

Dear Florida,

I can not wait to see you again. It's been 27 1/2 years since I last saw you. Can't wait to have sand in my toes for 7 days.

Former Floridian,

K

The Kid

Kindergarten Class of 2010

Dear Kid,

Congratulations on graduating from kindergarten! I know you have done so well in school and I only hope that you carry your love for learning with you throughout the rest of your life. You make me proud. And I loved that you were the only one bee-bopping to the song that your class sang.

Love you always,

Mommy

Dear Snugglebug,

Your daddy spoils you and I'm quite alright with that. I love that he has a partner to go eat Chinese food with. I hope you two remain this close, even thru those crazy moody teenage years.

Love you always,

Momma

Dear Husband,

Its about darn time you came home! We have all missed you. I hate that I get "used to" you being gone. Life is much better with you here.

I love you more than being the remote control holder,

Babe

Dear Summer,

Its nice to see you again. My flip flops have missed you. I could do without your humidity, but if it means spending days at the pool then I'm game.

Sweaty and Lovin It,

K

Dear Summer Vacation,

Are you here yet?!?!?! We've been anxiously planning YOU for mooonths now. Hurry and get here. We all need it. We NEED you! I'm so happy that we'll be able to surprise the kiddos with a trip to *DISNEYWORLD* while we're enjoying you.

Giddy with Anticipation,

K

Dear Pediatrician,

We have a six year old check up tomorrow. You are always so chillaxed and I never have many questions for you, but be prepared. Tomorrow I will be THAT parent.

Billions of Questions,

K

Dear Friend that will not be named here,

You are really no good for me. I feel like you pushed your way into my life and at a time when I was lonely and I let you. You have a miserable attitude and I don't like being around you. I've tried to stick it out since we have been through some traumatic stuff together, but I'm not so sure I can anymore. I'm slowly slipping away and I kind of like it. I'll be praying for you to find the happiness you deserve.

Waving the white flag,

K

Dear Fat K,

No Exercise + Unhealthy food = you. You know what you need to do. DO IT!

Pumping Myself Up,

K

thursday letters

Dear Husband,

So sorry I didn't feel like talking yesterday. I was worn thin. I hope today's chat more than made up for it. I miss you!

Forever you Wife,

K

Dear Marriage Ref,

I'm rolling in laughter every Thursday night!! Thank you for showing real (and sometimes quite insane) couples and their "issues". Thank you for feeling free to poke fun out in the open! It surely makes me seem a little more normal to my husband. At least I don't label my socks!!!

Side Split,

K

Dear Kid,

I'm only letting you sleep in my bed tonight because when you do, you sleep longer in the morning. Please don't disappoint.

Sleepy Mom,

K

Dear Grown Women that share a bathroom on the 2nd floor of my office building,

Flush!

Grossed out on floor 2,

K

Dear Snugglebug,

Why does it take you an hour and a half to fall asleep? No wonder you are a bear to wake up. You are becoming more and more like me every day.

Sweet Dreams,

K

Dear Charger,

I love you. I've loved you for 2 1/2 months. I love you even more after driving Husband's car for a few days. I hope you enjoyed your break from Veggie Tales and Wow Wow Wubzy. I know you secretly enjoy me blaring the Dixie Chicks all.the.time. Thank you for maintaining that new car smell and for having that powerful "VROOM" when I start the engine. You are so fun!

Driving Happy,

K

Dear Kindergarten Teacher:

Thank you for loving my kid so and teaching him to read and write and all that important math stuff. You rock.

I appreciate you,

K

Dear Boss:

I've heard the story 4 times already. Next time I'll stop you and just tell YOU your story.

Heard it,

K

Dear Right Arm and Hand:

I don't know what's wrong with you. You hurt me. I don't like your severe coldness, I don't like that you interfere with my texting and blogging and facebooking while I'm at work. I don't have time to deal with dr visits and tests and blah, blah, blah....

Ouchie,

K

Dear Mail Lady:

You are super nice and sweet, but for the love of all things sacred, could you please not slam the door every.time.you.leave.

Sensitive Ears,
