Dear Someone

Dear Bully,

Listen, last year you bullied lots of girls. You even beat one up at a bus stop. And I've heard you've had a pretty hard life and some really bad things have happened to you. While I wouldn't wish these things upon you, I damn well will not stand for you bullying my daughter and her friends. Last year I gave Alyssa directions to ignore you and if you wouldn't stop to just let you know that whatever your problem was that she didn't want to be on the receiving end of it and to knock your crap off. You were even brave enough to throw her some dirty looks while I was there. Well after picking up Alyssa and her group of friends from open gym the other night and them telling me that you and your friends were being really mean and calling them bitches and threatening to smash a soda can in their faces...this Mom has had enough. You will hear from me at open gym tonight. I've heard that you keep bullying because everyone is afraid to stand up to you. It better come to an end.

Dear 4th Grade Homework,

Oh My Word, between a lot of homework and Taylor having some difficulties grasping what she is learning...we are quite literally doing homework from the time she gets home until it's time for bed. Besides her snack, dinner and bath time, the rest of her evening is filled up with doing her homework and trying to comprehend it. Less homework please, she shouldn't have to spend her whole evening stressed/working to finish and comprehend it all.

Dear Exercise,

Why are you such a needy being? I shouldn't have to visit you soooo often...really, I shouldn't.

Dear Blogging,

Dear Jayce,

Thank you for the laughter you give out. You really cracked us up while out shopping for clothes. When we picked out Alyssa's school pants and then realized that one of that tags on there showed how it maximizes the butt and gives it a lift, it was just hilarious when you told her that it really does lift up her butt when she tried them on and she came out to let me make sure they were ok. And of course when you decided to tell her that all of the other pants lift her butt up too, ya, funny.

Dear Boat,

So glad you are finally fixed and re-upholstered. Can't wait for the weather to get a bit warmer so we can get out on the lake again and enjoy boating and being pulled on the tube. And throwing Jason off the tube. And listening to little Jayce tell us to pull him faster on the tube. And watching the girls do crazy jumps off of you. Oh ya, I like it all except for having to slather with the kids SPF 70 sunscreen, cause it's the only thing that works in preventing me from turning in to a lobster.

Dear Weather,

Um, ya, I was kind of liking the tank top, flip flop weather. And now you're being evil with cooler temps and rain. I don't mind the rain, but really, do you have to be so cold hearted?

I thought you were all done with your political B.S. rants to the local paper about the fire board, which I happen to be on, and fire department. Obviously I was wrong, and obviously you are still off your rocker.

Dear Shortmama,

Looking forward to our hanging out on Saturday. Looking forward to some more game playing...you know the one where not a one of us chose Levi to go on a trip with, and where I was chosen as most likely to put a tattoo in a crazy place, and you were the most technologically inclined, and Jason's laugh while he laughs at Levi, you know the one! Oh ya, and one last thing, thanks for not spilling all the sugar!

Yer fun lovin' friend


Dear Spring,

Thanks for finally arriving! So glad to be rid of the cold ass winter that I loathe. Now welcoming my flip flops and tank tops...you know, those clothes that Jason doesn't like cause he says it's like I'm not wearing any clothes. Ready for all the outdoor activities...bring 'em on!

Dear Someone and A Tag

I'm going to start this with a tag that I received from Margaret. All you have to do is describe where you will be/hope to be in 10 years, and tag 10 people to play along.

Now this could potentially be a hard one for me, instead of the seemingly simplicity that it offers. I don't even know where I see myself in the latter part of a day half the time. Sooooo, on that note, maybe I'll list a few things that I wish to have accomplished by then. I'd like to be working as a nurse by then, my house should be paid off before then, I'd like to say that I took a cruise to the Bahamas by then, and maybe visited Atlantis, and maybe taken a trip to Bora Bora, that's if I can get my husband over the fact that it's a tiny spec of land in the middle of a vast ocean. Worth.It. I wanna party like a rock star, hit a bunch of...oh wait, no, I don't want to do that. Well, I guess I'll stop there, though I could go on and on. Soooooo...if any of my readers would like to do this tag, then tell us where you will be/hope to be in 10 years.

Now for a little bit of Dear Someone letters...

Dear Spring Break,

So looking forward to you and my time away from studying, cramming, cussing. Ok, so I'll still find other things to cuss at, but at least I won't feel pressed for time while doing it.

Dear Fellow Math Student,

I know you have some type of disability, and that ain't no thang to me. A few of the student's including myself find you quite entertaining when you get pissed at the instructor and the note taking process, and then you start to talk to your computer and call it a "stupid piece of shit". Highly.Entertaining.

Dear Alyssa,

You do not have permission to act like me. So when you have a sleepover with your friends, there will be no more running around in bras and panties because you want to get a little wild. That behavior is reserved by me, so you need to take the more modest route. That's an order.

Concerned Momma


Dear Bra and Panty Episode,

That has brought back a flood of memories of what used to be. Running around all over the boonies here in bra and underoos, playing fire drill in the car running around and swapping drivers in nothing but the underclothes. Ah the memories.

Dear House,

Dear Crazy Mother Trucker...at Walmart,

Get off the drugs man. You kinda creeped my kids out by continuously and angrily yelling the F bomb for whatever reason while you were trying to maneuver your big rig outta the parking lot. Maybe you should've rolled your window up first before you blew up. Yes, that was me and my kids standing there gawking at you in amusement...all that was missing was some popcorn to enjoy the freak show.

Dear Granny,

So glad all your tests came back normal and that's there's nothing seriously wrong. Again, this takes me back to the nurse that I'd still like to speak with that gave you fear in telling you that it "could be" cancer.

Dear Classmate,

Umm, I'm thinking it might be kinda easy and better lookin' if you either bought some pants that weren't so long or have them altered instead of cutting out an upside down U shape in the back and letting the front flap over your feet completely covering them. I give you and A+ for individuality though!

Woman who was distracted by your, umm, invention


Dear A Certain Someone,

Listen, I don't really care if you have a different opinion than me, that's just how the world works. But....what is really worse here...a tattoo (in which I have three and am not ashamed) OR a prejudiced religious person being prejudiced against people with tattoo's? Can't you just be religious without the prejudice, or is that asking too much of you? I suggest you get off your high horse and not insinuate that people with tat's are evil...cause believe me, it's the prejudice that's gonna bring that on.

Woman you've pissed the eff off


Dear Next Month,

Please hurry! I'm soooooooo ESSSITED for the surprise that we're giving Alyssa for her *gasp* 13th birthday. I can't believe that my 1st born is going to be a teenager soon! 'Scuse me..I may need some Tylenol and to lie down now....

Dear Jason,

My fingernail still hurts after it was bent back this morning while we were fighting over the blankets. And it wasn't really that funny while I was hopping all over the place because it hurt...even though you say I looked like a spring and was getting some good air.

Your injured wifey


Dear Rain,

I really do enjoy you, even the grey skies since we don't get it often. But let's not overdo it mmkay? After dropping the kids off at school this morning I took a drive around town to see what has developed. Our normally dry riverbed is running pretty good and in one area you can see where the water is coming out of the river and onto some people's property that live in close proximity to the river. Now I don't even know those people, but I sure don't want to see their houses and property destroyed.

Dear Dog,

Just because it is raining outside doesn't mean that when I open the door to let you out in the morning to go to the bathroom that you should turn around and look at me like I'm crazy and then try to scamper back instead of heading out the door to do your business. Suck it up and get it out.

Dear Jillian,

After I'm done with this post, I'm gonna get up and kick your ass. I'm determined to get results, but I wanna smack your happy ass in the process. And for future reference, you should make your dvd's without any talking or sound whatsoevah..I don't want to hear you.

Dear Stooopid Nurse,

You're not supposed to be telling sweet little grandmothers that you THINK they could possibly have either a bowel blockage OR cancer...and they haven't even had any testing....hence, said sweet little grandmother gets to WORRY until she gets testing. So now she can add STRESS to not feeling good.

Dear Kitchen Sink,

Why must you back up. I don't enjoy the water all over the kitchen floor that is coming out of my dishwasher, because now the water is backed up to the dishwasher that wasn't hooked up right by the construction crew. I didn't really want to call the plumber that grunts and groans and cusses and is a tad bit on the "oh hell he's here again" list.

Why must I have seen your picture. Now I want you. And my husband is glad I want you..because when I first told him last night on the phone that "I fell in love today"...he was silent for a moment, he thought I meant with another man. So...he really likes you too.

Dear Allergies,

Oh mah gawd already. I think you may be the only thing I hate in this world..at least for this moment in time. You have tormented me since childhood, and I wish to get you outta my system. I so hope you don't age me before my time due to all the face scratching I have done. I don't want to wake up another day looking like and feeling like I've got a sunburn on parts of my face due to the itching.

Dear Writer's Block,

Can't you give me at least a little glimmer of stuff to write about? I'd rather be sitting here typing up something than just..well, sitting here...looking around to see if something can spark up a thought...or just staring at the screen. Feel free to stop on in any time now!

I'd love one of these so I can have some foolish fun..

I'd like for us to stay here for Christmas...Greer, AZ log cabin...

Dear Alyssa,

STOP trying to sneak stuff to school in your backpack. It's.Driving.Me.Crazy.Already. And quit trying to tell me that you were going to ask me. Right. The scrapbooks don't belong at school, neither does our soda. And don't even get me started on the notes I found. Seriously..enough already.

Dear Little Girl In Alyssa's Class,

Dear Me,

What the heck? You drove approximately 45 minutes yesterday down to a mall to get Jayce's 6 year pics, and while you were there you were supposed to pick up the anniversary pics. You completely FORGOT the anniversary pics. Lets just hope you don't forget the actual anniversary. Maybe it was the shock of seeing millions of people packed into the mall, no time to think making sure all the little chickens are still with me and haven't wandered off. Sooo..have a great time driving alllll the way back down today to go and get them. Good thing you enlisted Shortmama to ride along with you!

Dear Jayce,

It's a darn good thing that you did great during your picture session and waited to have your mini melt down afterwords from being too tired...because if it was during or before the pictures, I'm pretty sure I would've found a store with a "slightly damaged items" display and plopped your little booty right on up there on my way out the door.
