Letters

Dear Lazy Neighbor(s)... whoever you are,
Put your trash in the dumpster.  If it was in front of your house, would you continue to do what you are doing in our neighborhood?  No, of course not.  Unless you really are a slob and that irresponsible.  Hello there... you are sending out an open invitation to bears, moose and those awful looking (and sounding) black crows.  Not smart.  Oh, and if you are that same idiot who isn't shoveling your driveway, be warned that you will slip on the soon-to-be ice and then you're probably gonna slip and bust you a$$.  For goodness sakes, even the lady around the corner who is 8 months pregnant and has two little kiddos can do it AND her husband is deployed.  Get it together or at least ask for help.

Sincerely,
Your Fed-Up Neighbor


Dear Mom at the Bus Stop,
We all have several children.  We all have to get at least one of our children off to school, plus bring the younger ones out to the bus stop with us.  We all know its cold outside.  Please stop acting like you are the only one with multiple children and that your situation is so much more difficult than ours.  Please stop reminding us that you have a 6 year old, a 2 year old and a 5 month old.  This mom has "been there, done that."  Matter of fact, I do that same thing every day.  I would normally not be so shrill, but your husband is home, unlike many of the rest of us whose loved one is either TDY or deployed.  Please get over yourself.  If you need help, just ask.

Sincerely,
Just another busy Mom


Dear Mom & Dad in the basketball stands,
Would you please stop texting or checking FB during your son's basketball game?  You have hardly seen a moment of his games, week after week.  You miss the gazillion times that he looks for your reaction to him scoring a basket.  You miss the disappointment in his eyes when you don't cheer for him.  Will you please just enjoy the 45 minute game and be present for him?  Let him know that you are his biggest fan & are proud of him.  You are going to regret one day when you didn't show him that everything he does actually really matters to you.

Sincerely,
A proud & cheering Mom
