Dear You Guys

Dear You Guys,

I am sitting here in tears… Oh!! This is exactly how I feel. Candy makes me smile and I love the apples! Luckily the kids don’t like either! I don’t really turn my back on ANY candy but, at Halloween, I can’t get enough Candy Corn! I raid the kids’ Halloween candy for them, and they’ve even been known to barter with me for them. hee hee! I promise I could find a secluded spot away from them, and eat them all by myself!!

That card totally cracks me up by the way. Cute pictures!!!! I actually laughed out loud at his shirt saying “Score”, oh my! What a hoot! I wonder if his mom found out and then realized what his shirt said. It is truly amazing how resilient little ones are! Looks like you were a mouse (grin)!

I am constantly berating myself for going to our local pub instead of cooking at home. Ok, yes the pub thing is nice and all I but I am a good cook and I like it so what is my problem? My Kitchen has been in that state far too often then I’d like to admit, and we don’t have a dishwasher either.  The silence is deafening. Such a catch 22. I can only imagine what it is like to have an empty house… My kids drove me nuts all summer. I think I need some time away from the kids to miss them!

I’m so critical of myself. When I realize that I’m comparing my life to someone else’s I take a step back and tell myself, just because their home is perfectly clean, doesn’t mean that their life is perfect. We all have our struggles and challenges in life. Having a clean home does not make them better parents than I am. *sniffle*

I love the squirrel with the acorn in his mouth. I’m jealous. I am going to go absolutely insane if we don’t have another (or ten)…  Esp the ballerina one. It’s not just Moms. I feel the same way on the mornings that Madaline doesn’t get up shortly after I get out of the shower. She sits in the bathroom with me as I go through my daily routine and chatters away at me about the most random stuff. I would tell her to get her head out of the clouds and get serious. For me, it won’t change much, other than I’ll save some money

I think that learning to miss your kids is one of the best reasons to have them in school all day. What is that old saying, absences makes the heart grown fonder…..  Then I get more stressed. And tired. And the circle continues.

Listen and Learn,
Lolli

    I would NEVER berate myself for choosing to eat at the local pub instead of cooking at home. NEVER! :) Eating out is ALWAYS the way to go!!

    Great love letter!!
