Fridays Letters. September 7, 2012.

Dear sore throat: You're fired. In fact, you  never worked here, so don't come back or else.

Dear Internet: You move slower than a sleepy sloth on pain killers, so you might wanna cut that out. The slower you move, the less we both see. Don't you want to see the inter-world? Don't you love surfing the virtual waves of the web with me? Please get some rest tonight while the computer is sleeping. You deserve it. I want you back at full-speed tomorrow or you'll be fired like that other guy up there... yeah, right! You know better, don't you! c'mon, baby, please hurry up, you know I love you xo.


Dear Power Bill: What's your problem? Seriously, are you charging me for not using my appliances? Is this some kind of punishment for my diligent: dark-house-wandering, sandwich "cooking," sweat-soaked weeks of trying to keep it real around here? Stop being mad and let's bring back what we had. Like my weight, I want this number down.


Dear Birthday: I know you're just a week away and I'm so happy to see you. I joke about how many times we've been together, but you know the real number... now, that the number is in the late 20s, I'm thinking this is getting pretty serious. I want to commit to you for a lifetime and see you every year for the rest of my life. 


Dear Little One of Mine: I love you more and more each day... I never knew I could be so strong and so weak at the same time. You're everything I'll ever need & the greatest gift I've ever received. You're perfect just the way you are & I'll always cherish you as my greatest success; we're a team. You'll always carry my love everywhere you go & I'm so proud of all of the things you've learned during these four years of your life. I'll always hold your hand the same way that you hold mine. You can do anything you set your mind to--you've proven this to me time & again. You have a heart of gold, my sweet baby. I can't believe you turn 5 this month ♥ You're my hero and friend. I'm so thankful to have you in my life.
Love, 
Mommy
