A Letter To My Family:

Let me first start by telling you that I am tired. No, wait, exhausted. I know you all are thinking 'Lady? How the hell can you be tired when you just came back from a 6 day trip?'

That? Really is besides the point of this note though. I am exhausted. And you all ROCK.THE.FREAKING.HOUSE. I don't know if your dad made some reference as to how you could help more, or complain less. But daaammmmnnnn.

I haven't so much as heard one whine when I asked you to put the groceries away. Or the dishes. Or the towels. When I woke up and thought to myself: 'Self, you'd better get a lick on it, regardless of how slow you are moving.....' and in you walked, Lil V, summer camp bag packed. Dressed. Shoes on. Teeth Brushed. Bed Made. For the real, amazing.

Missy B, those were real tears of happiness the other night, as I dragged myself upstairs, again, thinking 'Self, I am so sleepy. I just wish there wasn't 3 loads of clothes to fold taking up precious space in my 1200 hundred thread count Egyptian cotton of bliss.' I caught you sitting in the middle of my bed at 10:30 PM with all the clothes folded, sorted and ready to be put away. I didn't even think twice about refolding those towels. I still haven't.


Mr.T, you are *so* the man. SO capable and willing and awesome. Not one phone call of which one is the pantry. You are so, so....hot. And perfect for me. For us.

I did such a great job training you all. Thanks for making my job easy(ier).

So, do we get to see the results? No? Okay!

Glad you are recovering and your family is taking such good care of you.

Oh, how I wish I could write a letter like that to my own family.

Uhm... mine would be a little less sweet though. And a lot more swear words thrown in.

Hug them all... they deserve it.

Gawddamnit! WTF did I miss?! I looked back through posts I have already read. Did I miss a point somewhere? Probably not. I am going to assume that the ladies before me were already almost real life IRL friends. So that is why they knew what was up. It's not like I miss your posts or tweets...sooooo, what is it then?
Whatever it is you had done, well I can't imagine it making you anymore hot then you already are!
