Dear Bible Study ladies, although I could have chimed in, all I could actually do was stare at my lap and smile when the 75 year old die-hard (Jesus believing) Catholic asked the group if they thought all Catholics were Christians. 4 of you started talking at once and it got super a little awkward.

Dear Bible Study Leader, thank you for letting the "Are all Catholics Christians?" conversation go on long enough for everyone to feel heard and validated and then shut it down and steered us elsewhere.

Dear Caris, when you wake up talking so very loudly, turning on lights and singing, I think to myself, "I don't know where she came from, but she is not my kid." Silence and darkness until 9AM, thank you.

Dear Patch, I hope the tube of anti fungal cream that you ate cures all of your ailments including Ieateverythinginsightitis.

Dear MacDaddy, you deserve someone better.

Dear Liza, you slept snuggled against me as I walked into TJMaxx today. Ladies passed us and smiled and I wanted to twirl and spin and sing, "Motherhood is wonderrrrfullllll gimme all the bayyybiessss"

Dear Kent, I love you no matter what, but your beard is reaching sketchy lengths.

Dear fellow Body Pumpers at the Y, the sketchy guy with a beard behind me? Don't worry, he's with me.

Dear Florida, ILOVEYOU and your gorgeous weather!

Dear Floridians, it wouldn't kill you to crack a smile. Try it. Just a tiny one.

This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
