Dear Dominos pizza, you seemed over priced, but when I tasted your garlicky goodness, I changed my mind and decided to order "real" pizza more often

Dear phone and car keys, I spend 89% of my day looking for one of you (or both)

Dear Kent, yes, the only time that I need to talk (quickly and loudly) about all the pressing things on my mind is when you roll over to fall asleep

Dear library visit without kids, WOW you are SO QUIET

Dear Audrey, who knew Ranch salad dressing smeared in your hair could smell so bad?

Dear lingering cough that we all have, COUGH BE GONE! (Said in my Dan F. voice)

Dear cold, wet winter days, you get a bad rap, but I secretly love you

Dear Dollar Tree worker, I'm sorry that I paid for my $2.07 total with a five dollar bill, thus making you give me 93 cents in change but these children around me are bickering and distracting me from digging through my receipt laden wallet

Dear old videos, I can only watch a few of you before I want to curl up in a ball of conflicted thankfulness, guilt gratitude and heartbrokeness for the years gone by

Dear big girls, I will never tire of watching your faces as you watch a good tv show. The wide eyes, the slow growing smiles, love it all and love you

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...
