Dear....

Dear cute guy;

Thank you for making it impossible to date you. Yes we have much in common, and you are of legal Canadian age. However, you are graduating with my baby cousin from high school this year. Thus making you several shades of wrong.

~That college girl you have a crush on

Dear TTO

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come watch La Boheme with me next year! I know it's opera and I know I ALWAYS cry at the end, but I wanna watch it, and not by myself!!

Dear Rummy,

Turn off the heat and make them wear sweaters. Tell them it's how you are conserving energy.

Warmly,

Pepper

[CaroPhoenix]

Dear Shpepper,

I might have to do that.

We all have plenty of sweaters.

needing all the advice she can get,
Rummy

Dear Green_Fairy and Books
YAY!!! I love that opera, even though I KNOW what happens at the end and I always dissolve into a puddle of tears. But I love it...
I haven't seen an opera for nearly 10 years

Love
Rads

Dear Rummy

Ayup BTW, pls give Child Rum a squishy from me!

Love
Rads

[CaroPhoenix]

Dear Rads,

Will give Child Rum a squishy when she wakes up.

I want to go see "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at a local dinner theater. Mr. Rum won't go 'cos it's a musical. So I feel your pain.

Dear Child Rum,

I love you, but snoring in Mommy's ear doesn't help her stay asleep.

Plus I have my MRI today.

yawn,
Mommy

"Dear" Mother Rum,

DO NOT start on the whole "Child Rum's" solid which equals fat in my book rant.

Child Rum is 4 feet 1.5 inches tall. She is 64 pounds. She's in the 94% for height. She's in the 96% for weight. Her doctor has no problem with her height and weight as they fairly close percentage wise. Now if she were only in the 40% for height and still the 96% for weight, then yes, there would be a problem, and I'd be discussing it with her doctor. But she's not so the doctor is happy.

I have limited options to feed my child. She will not eat something that she hasn't asked for. She won't eat certain foods because of taste, look, texture, because it looks weird on a plate, whatever else is the reason.

So please stop with the "You and Mr. Rum are fat and so Child Rum is fat too! She's solid. Did you know that? And she's getting fat boobs!"

Do not make me go off on your ass. I will and you will not see Child Rum for a long time if you don't shut your mouth!

Rawr,
Your Daughter

Dear Rummy

Try asking your Mom where she got her medical credentials, as YOUR DOCTOR who is QUALIFIED UP THE WAZOO says everything is just fine and she's developing normally.

Plus, in all the pics I've seen of Child Rum, she looks like a healthy, happy little girl.

Love,
Rads

Dear Rummy,

Wanna borrow my purple duct tape to make a gag for Mother Rum? It will stop the nonsense flowing from her mouth and look pretty at the same time.


Quietly,

Pepper

Dear Husband:

I appreciate your concern, but putting Khan's baby swing on the medium-high setting will NOT give him Shaken Baby Syndrome. Trust me on this one.

Love, Your wife

Dear Brother:

Dad is paying me to input data into an Excel file. But I can't input it unless you SEND me the data. So fax me some shit already.

Thanks-Love, Your sister

[CaroPhoenix]

Dear Pepper and Rads,

Thank you for the suggestions.

I think purple duct tape would be loverly!

I've warned Mr. Rum that I will go Momma Bear on my mother the next time she mentions it.

Also, I'm confronting MotherNotaRum (MIL) about why she doesn't come up to visit. And I know it's not because my house is in spic-n-span shape (it's not, right now, it looks like a tornado flew into my living/dining room and deposited mail/papers/etc. from the entire state in my room).

I'm feeling feisty,
Rummy

Dear Left Arm,

Why couldn't you have cooperated and let the nice lady find a good vein the first time around instead of having me be poked a second time?

You're still sore too!

Dear Rum,

You sound like me. I once had blood drawn and it took two people four tries...and when they finally got it, it was with the little butterfly needle they use for kids...I was 27.
