Open letters

Dear throat,

I’m really sick of you not feeling good.  I drink plenty of water, I treat you right and all you do is give me swollen lymph nodes and nasty phlegm.

Get over yourself.

Please get better,
That sick girl

Dear knee,

I’m really sorry if I put too much stress on you yesterday.  I thought you would enjoy the 2nd day of running, but obviously I was wrong.

I didn’t realize how sensitive tendons were!

I hope you like the ice and ibuprofen I got for you! I really enjoy not limping so please get well soon.

Please get better,
The limping girl

Dear Jake and Emma,

I hope that one day you realize I did this for you.

I love you.

Now please clean up the green stamp ink from your desk and the play-doh ground into your sheets. Then stop screaming. Then get dressed. You can have your stuff back when you start listening and doing what I ask you to do.

Have a good day at school!

All my love,
The crazy lady who’s trying not to yell
