Dear Husband...

...when you see me in pain while trying to vacuum don't say "go lay down if you are hurting" and then head to the bedroom to lay down and watch tv yourself... instead - here's a bright idea... why don't you say "here, let me get that - go lay down".

Dear kids...

I am in no mood to have to fight with you to get your rooms clean. I am going to be a mean mama all day long if you keep it up. I am sick of being the only one around here doing anything.

I am the one person in this house who SHOULD be resting - instead I am the ONLY ONE NOT RESTING...

Sometimes they just do NOT get it.

Dear Husband,

Moving a few heavy things, hanging up some curtains and washing a few dishes is not a full day's worth of chores and does not excuse you from rolling your eyes and acting like I've asked you to do something impossible when I ask you to help me vacuum the stairs. I don't care if you don't think they're dirty, they ARE and it's bothering me and I don't want to stare at the dirt all week. I already swept, mopped and vacuumed the entire downstairs and cleaned the baseboards on my hands and knees. The least you can do is hold the frickin' vacuum while I use the attachment to get the stairs. It's called nesting and there's only a couple weeks left of it so man up and stop complaining.

Ahh, I feel better.

I brought in my mom to do all that stuff for me. hehe. My DH is out to sea... so i can't get mad at him. I basically just point and tell mom what to clean. She actually cleaned my carpets for me while I curled up on the couch and watched... and pointed to spots that needed more work. lol. So... yep. I don't want to imagine what DH would be like if he were here. I can hope that he would have been the helpful type... but... you never know.

That's so my husband! I'll be rushing around the house all day cleaning and out of breath during the day all week. The weekend comes and he's home... he like mows the lawn and thinks chores are done for the day and says he needs to rest.

Dear Partner who is in Mexico, I'm not sure that you realize how hard it is to have 3 kids and be 9months pregnant with no help around the house. Do you understand that staying out all night and not calling me until 6pm my time because you just woke up, gets you in the dog house for days maybe even weeks. DP did you also know that i've been crying all day because i dont have the energy to get the kids to do anything around the house. DP do you know how difficult it is to be this pregnant and be in this situation.

Dear sister who moved in a week ago, it is not ok to walk into the house drunk as a skunk in the wee hours of the night with your "friend" and let him spend the night here when i have 3 kids and could go into labor any minute. It's also not ok to leave the back door unlocked when you leave the house becaue maybe you were to high to realoze that it wasnt locked. Dear sister it's also not ok to leave you kitten to free roam the house while you are gone, because i am alleric to cats and would die if i saw the car sleeping on my kitchen counter and on my clean sheets in my bed. Also dear sis, just because oyu love oyur cat you cant expect me to love it too.

Dear best friend, can i come hang out with you and rock in the roicking chairs on your front poarch and vent? Oh your having a hard day to? Hey lets rock this evening together!!!

Dear MDC mama's sorry for the mis spelling, i cant help it right now.

Dear Curious Family Members,

PLEASE stop calling! I know you are excited. But I really would like it if you stopped calling me on a daily basis to ask if I am in labor or if I've had the baby yet. We will call you when the baby is here. You won't be left out of the loop. You will not be forgotten.
