Dear Baxter, It’s totally unnecessary that you come in the bathroom with me EVERY morning. It’s not a party in there and it might be the only time for the next few hours I am actually alone. So stop it.
Dear The Ice Cream Man, Don’t be blaring your music in my neighborhood and then NOT come down my street. My kid has been talking about you ALL winter so how about tonight you bring that truck right by my house? Okay?
Dear My Friends, You all crack me up. I get the most hysterical calls and texts and I love them all. You are the best.
Dear Me, Where those two book you bought at Target this week really necessary? I’m pretty sure there is a stack of unread books on your nightstand. But at least you didn’t buy the Amanda Knox book. Yet.
Dear B, You may not know it, but we have a busy weekend in front of us. SO much to do. Be ready. Or at least be ready for me to be busy and for you to make sure the kids are happy. Â Oh, and I don’t care what you say because WB looks totally adorable in flip flops.
Dear Our Local Park, If you put up a “treasure map” on your playground equipment, guess what? Â Kids are going to look for the treasure on your walking trail in the woods. Â But of course their is no treasure which makes my kid want to hunt more. Â Guess which mom is going to hide a treasure??? Â This one.
Dear My Neighbor Who Is Moving, I will miss your unsecured wireless network. Â It came in handy when mine was down or was being all funky. Â No one else in the neighborhood has an unsecured network but you ;(. Â Oh, and it took all my willpower not to send a “message” to print on your printer, which was also hooked up on your network ;).
Dear L, Â You are so sweet. Â You push your brother on the swings, play with the neighborhood dogs and listen nice at school. Â And I am so so proud of you for not going all crazy on that kid at school that refers to you as “baby face”. Â Just shake it off. Â You don’t have to call him names back! Â Plus, I think it’s good. Â I’d be baby if someone referred to me as “baby face”.
OMG KP and I were at the park and the ice cream truck came through the neighborhood and didn’t come down the street the park was on! Umm…does that even make sense!?
I didn’t really follow thr Knox case closely but just saw her interviewed about her book. What’s your opinion on her?
You should’ve sent a silly message to the printer. Hilarious.
Oh man, I’m dying, you should totally send your neighbors a note on their printer, it would totally be worth it!!!!
I’m sad that L is getting picked on, that kid who’s bullying will get his in the end, just have to be patient!
Aww I missing living a neighborhood with an ice cream man. I say that, but after one week of it I would go INSANE.
My dogs cannot handle it when I go to the bathroom. They push and scratch at the door until I am finished….so annoying.
If you’re looking to get rid of some of your used books, or to get new used books, I am coordinating a used book swap. Here’s a direct link to the post if you’re interested: Used Book Swap Sign Up
Maybe Baxter thinks that the morning bathroom routine is Baxter & Mommy Time? Is that the only time he has alone with you? Just trying to see things from his point of view! 😉
And just so you know, you don’t have to read every book you buy. Sometimes, owning it is enough. I have boxes of books I haven’t read, but am well prepared in case there’s ever a worldwide book shortage!
The ice cream man came down my street the other day & I was so proud of my 15 year old son for letting his Mom stand with him to get a popsicle! Maybe he was not too embarrassed!
How did you resist not printing a random message on that persons printer? In college I lived in a sorority for a few years and we had one wireless network we all shared so naturally several people also hooked their personal printers up to it so they could print things from wherever they were studying in the house….clearly lots of jokes were played.
