Letters from today:

dear little gate: thank you for keeping Bailey contained in her little corner today. I needed to sleep in until 9:30. dear contractions: thank you for reminding me that in a few months you will be far more painful and redundant, only to bring forth the precious life that is gaining strength daily. dear marta: thank you for reminding me that they aren't really out to get me. but you totally understand why I would think that they are :) dear chawt: singing Christmas tunes to Bailey to get her to drop her toy was the highlight of my day. that and the sexy way you carried groceries from store to car and car to home and put everything away for me. dear chirrens: i love it when you laugh so hard you toot. look at me grinning. my day is complete.
