Some Open Letters

(c) 2008 Ms. Huis Herself at musenmutter.blogspot.com

To my in-laws, Grampa Jem and Gramma Yori,

Thank you so much for all your hard work this weekend. You and Mr. Kluges got a TON done. Gramma Yori, the newly painted kitchen and living room look great! And I know it was slow going in the LR since the varnish was too old and delicate to mask it with blue tape. Plus painting behind the radiator makes you a champ. Grampa Jem, it was due to your help and know-how that the LR floor got jacked up and the framing for the new support wall was built. Also, good eye on finding the floor jacks on sale in the paper! Also, it's so nice to have the storm windows off and the (few) screens up and the doorbell fixed.

On a side note, it turns out we cut down a few of the neighbors' buckthorns as the line isn't quite where we thought it was. Oops. Oh well.

Thanks again!
The Owners of the House of 42 Doors



Dear Penguin,

Please stop finding stuff on the floor and eating it.

Thanks,
Your Mom



To My Parents, who will be coming to visit fairly soon,

It's ok with us if take it a little easier when you're visiting. Because I think I'm still exhausted from trying to keep up with the in-laws!

Love,
Your Best Daughter



Dear Penguin,

Just because it's on the floor does NOT mean it is edible.

Sincerely,
Your Mom


To The Father of My Children, who are too young to cook on their own,

*cough* Ahem, Mother's Day is this weekend and I like hash browns and coffee and bacon &/or sausage with my breakfast in bed. ;)

Love,
The woman who went through labor twice without any epidurals to birth those very children


Dear Penguin,

I know you don't know math yet, but here you go anyway...

Stuff on floor <> Food

Ok?

Your Mom, who really does sweep the floor sometimes, even if it's apparently not often enough



Dear Cold,

Please go away. I am quite tired of your company.

And take your friends Cough and Sneeze with you, 'k?

Very sincerely,
Me
