Dear Letters!

A friend of mine does these on her blog and I think I could benefit from writing out some of these dear letters that occur in my head . Basically these are letters that you saying out loud would not be appropriate, however saying them like this can make you feel better. I sure hope so because I have somethings building up, I may explode here soon.

My Dear Letters:

Dear Lady Checking out in front of me @ the Grocery Store,
I realize we all get old and one day I hope I am blessed to get around town on my own as long as you however it should not take 8 minutes for you to write out a check. I wish your son or daughter or grandchildren would introduce you to the Debit Card, it takes a swap and the tap of a few buttons and your done. No more check writing needed!

Dear Caleb,
I will hunt down who ever buys you anymore AXE body spray! I have three little words for you my boy, LESS IS MORE!!

Dear Middle School Teachers,
Like I have time to work a full time job, play taxi driver, cook meals, help with homework all before 9pm oh and check ALL 6 of your web pages every night or every other night to make sure my kid wrote down his homework. Cant we make this easier? One site per team? Something. I am OVERWHELMED and I am just the parent.

Dear Direct TV,
When you send a customer a statement saying "this is your FINAL bill" one would think there would be NO more drafts made. So when you drafted my account 18 days ago by mistake and the next day when I called to get you to refund my account you informed me that since I was no longer an ACTIVE customer I would receive a check in 7 to 10 business days. Now 18 days later I am told that the check was issued on the 12th and could take 30 days to reach me. 30 DAYS??? Then you had the nerve to ask me how you could get me to return to direct TV again. I am assuming the sound of the dial tone helped you with that answer.

Dear Lady on my street with the small toy dog NEVER on a Leash,
I pride myself in being a cautious driver on neighborhood streets, we have street parking and kids galore so I am on pins and needles driving down my street each night and now I have to keep my eyes open for your dog who is the size of a squirrel who runs the street. I have almost hit your dog more times then I can count on one hand and I don't appreciate your dirty looks as you run into the street after him. GET A LEASH!!! And we wouldn't have this problem, or better yet a stroller.

Dear Panthers,
You make loosing look easy! You make millions of dollars, your fans would enjoy seeing a great game every now and then, a game that doesn't require loosing in the 4th quarter. A game where the quarter back throws the ball for touch downs and we stop settling for field goals that are only worth 3 points. Please just look like you are trying this Sunday, I know its the GIANTS and we don't really stand a chance with Peyton and all but we would like something worth cheering for.

Dear Kylee,
I love you and I love your passion for Cheer & Tumble but at 8:45pm when you have said 'hey Mom watch this' 300 times already sometimes I fantasize about screaming ' No, I don't want to watch'!

Dear Friends who have 'ADULT' Birthdays every year,
I will be the first to tell you happy birthday,  I will sing to you, send you a sweet message maybe even a card. However I will not and cannot go to your birthday dinners every year. I am a single mom of two VERY expensive children. Cheerleading, Soccer, Food and Gas suck the life out of my bank account each month, not to mention buying my kids friends birthday presents. This does not mean that I don't LOVE you in any way shape or form , it means if you want to drink a bottle of cheap wine outside and laugh I am all in but babysitters, dinner, and drinks I am all out. Hope you have a blast.  Adult birthdays that I will celebrate, 21,30,40, 50, 60 ect. and please give me enough notice so that I may enter in my monthly budget. Some of you will read this and think I am being cheap but when you have one income for 3 people I have to be realistic. Again this doesn't mean I don't care about you, it means I admitting I am poor.

Dear Fax Machine @ work,
Your constant beeping is making me want to throw you out of the window.

I have to admit I feel better, no one was yelled at directly during this rant. This was not to be taken personally this was all in good fun, things I wish I could say or needed to say out loud please don't take them personally. Would love to hear your dear letters, do share!
