Letters

Dear Mother-in-Law and Father-in-Law,

Thank you for offering to watch my two darling children today and allowing me a little alone time with the laptop.  Your thoughfulness will never be forgotten.

Love,

Jennifer

Dear Indiana BMV,

B?  MV?  That should have been my first clue that you’re a stupidhead.  Shouldn’t you be the DMV??  Anyway, I’m not writing to bitch about your name, but rather the fact that you’re closed on Mondays.  Screw you.

Your nemesis,

Jennifer “The Pulverizer” Playgroupie

Dear Comcast,

You still suck. 

From,

You know who the hell this is because I keep calling you and you keep NOT calling me back.

**

Dear Manufacturers of Digital SLR Cameras,

Hi!  I’m a blogger with respectable enough traffic.  I’d like to review your camera(s) on my blog.  All you have to do is send me one for review.  I promise to only say nice things about your camera on my blog if you pretty please send me a camera.  I’m willing to sell you my soul.  Please send me a camera. 

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely, REALLY, REALLY Sincerely,

Jennifer

PS.  I’d also like a free trip somewhere.  Anywhere.  For free!  Kthnxbai!

**

Dear Me,

Stop eating so much.  Throw away the cake and the leftovers.  Have you noticed your flabby arms?  Of course you have. 

Yours truly,

Me

**

Dear Carson,

I’m your mommy.  I gave birth to you and suffered through your colic.  I will continue to suffer through many stages of your life and yet I still love you.  I will always love you.  All I want is for you to kiss me goodnight.  It hurts my feelings when you laugh in my face and scream “NO!!!” when I ask for a goodnight kiss.

If you don’t give me goodnight kisses, I’ll be forced to take away your John Deere tractors.  I’m not kidding.

Big wet kisses,

Mommy

  2. from one Jennifer to another. If they are sending a camera your way, it probably shoudln’t be too much trouble to pack up an extra one and send it to me, don’t you think?

    Oh the goodnight kisses. Quinn’s newest (not-so-new) thing is saying, “No kisses for you tonight. Maybe tomorrow.” In absolutely the sweetest voice you’ve ever heard. Except yeah, not so sweet.
    Last night he replied to my “I love you,” with “I love you too. But I don’t love you when you work. I love Grandma Chris because I get lots of money.” Um. Yeah. Goodnight buddy.

  8. Comcast? Can suck it.
    Also. We appreciate that your in-laws allowed you to post these hilarious letters. :-)
    Oh, and the kissing - totally a phase. But a phase that hurts nonetheless. I know.

  9. Just in case you end having to buy your SLR camera….we just got Cannon’s new XSI and LOVE it. The image stabilizer lens rocks. Just an fyi. I could go on and on, but that would be a review and then they wouldn’t send one to you. :)

  10. The no kissing thing hurts. Apparently I didn’t “earn” one last night either. Then this morning SB says to me “Mommy, you’re my one and only Mommy.”

    Good point there buddy …. SO do I get a kiss now or not?

    (got one!)

  11. It’s so nice of you to acknowledge your in-laws–and so nice of them to give you some time!

    I totally don’t understand how the BMV can be closed on a Monday…that makes no sense.

    Have a great day.

  14. Why the heck didn’t I think of that? I totally should have begged for a Mr. Canon on my blog before giving in and selling a kidney to buy one. That was dumb.

  30. I love the in-laws, hate Comcast, and currently have the same problem with cake leftovers but the last one is my favorite. The worst kind of rejection. Definitely go for the tractors.

  31. I can relate to every single one of those!! Well, except for that tiny little part about having time alone with the laptop…I ain’t got one.

    BUT, I have a DSLR…so I’ll take a free laptop to review, you can have the camera. Work for ya?

    Thanks for the laugh. Oh, and if you could hook me up with a Nikon D80 through your mad blogging skills that would be totally cool too.

    Dear Sleep,

    I’m not sure what I did to chase you off, but never doubt my love for you. Please, please come back soon - you are missed.

    Hugs and kisses,

  45. I think Carson is about the age that Jaxon started to LOVE playing the “don’t you …..” game. Try it out when you next are needing/wanting him to do something. “Don’t you give me a kiss. (in a teasing voice of course) I don’t want your kisses! No kisses for Mommy!” Jaxon still loves this game and he is 4 now. Just beware. He may want you to play it all the time for everything. I remember awhile there where I would have to “play” this game with EVERY piece of clothing in the morning while I was still half asleep. “Don’t put on your pants. Don’t put on your pants! Oh, no, you put your pants on! (mock sincerity followed by mock horror)” Then repeat with shirt, then socks, then shoes, etc., ad nauseum. But it is better than flat out refusal or a tantrum!

  48. We have the BMV in Ohio too, and I still call it the DMV because I am from MA. Either way you slice it, it is a crappy place to have to go, and I just noticed yesterday that my license expires this year. So guess where I have to go?

  49. Oooh Jennifer how do you make me laugh. Your comment about Comcast has solidified our friendship for the eternities. You: hi. do i know you? Me: sigh. whatever. we’re still bff because of the comcast comment.
