Thanks everyone for your kind words, I cried as I read each one. Yesterday was not a good day. DH talked to son #4 and he is coming home instead of going to girlfriend''s(of 1 month) house. He brought here home
for us to meet for the first time, last weekend, in the midst of intense detox. He is over the moon over this girl, and completely clueless for such a uber smart kid.
So here is to hoping DH does well in the bike race in Death Valley. Can think of many places I would rather go, but I go for love....

Dear Friend dealing with "recent" break up,
It's been two weeks. You only dated for six months. I realize you thought he may be the one, but he wasn't. After two weeks you should not be crying at the mere mention of his name. You should be eating solid foods. You should not be talking to me on instant messenger every day while I'm at work, for 8 hours, about how much you miss him. You should not be finding some way to bring the conversation back to him no matter what I say. Yes. I'm sorry I talked about shopping because "you guys used to shop together."
You should not have to buy new sheets because your old ones remind you of him. You should not be unable to drink coffee anymore because you guys used to drink coffee together.
I know breakups are hard, but it is O-V-E-R. OVER. Get OVER it. Get your life back together and MOVE ON. Or find a different friend who doesnt mind hearing about it for 8 hours a day!

Dear Mum and Dad,
I really appreciate the offer to come on holidays with you two. But I''m 25, and it''s just not going to happen. It would be weird. You''ve been cool for pretty much the entirety of my life, and I haven''t been on holidays with ye for about eight years, so I''m not sure why you''re pushing this now. I''ve been fortunate enough to have had one holiday already this year. Shouldn''t you be glad you raised a conscientious daughter who would rather work than spend more money and holiday time??
I''m not coming. Get over it.

Dear old ladies and random people on the street:
Please stop telling me what I should and should not be doing with my baby, as isf I don't have a clue. I'm not some knocked-up teenager. I'm a well-educated, 33-year old woman who takes the time to inform herself. I have the parenting books - I go online weekly to find out what works and what doesn't. Please stop tellling me that I should put a match stick in my baby's hair to stop her from hiccuping, or that strapping her in my carrier is 'hanging her', and will make her feet swollen. Just because you didn't have it in 'your day' doesn't make it an EVIL DEVICE!!! I really hate that you think that just because you had 'XXX' children, you think that you have the right to tell me what to do. And I can't stand the snickers, and the 'Oh, she's a first-time mother, isn't she.." comments. (( I guess YOU were never a first-time mother yourself??? NO - you knew everything from the moment you were born!!! )))Well guess what - I bore my baby - I know her much better than you ever will. So bugger off with the disparaging stares and unwelcome advice. I DON'T NEED OR WANT IT!!!
And to the lady on the street yesterday who told me not to get my baby wet - WHO THE FRICK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE????? Why the heck would I purposely get my baby wet??? Don't you think I love my baby and want the best for her???? And did you even happen to look up into the sky and notice the rain had stopped and the sun was shining??? I really didn't appreciate your stupid comment and tone, and the fact that you had to say it in front of everybody else on the street, as if someone appointed you ' Guardian of the Year'. Listen here - the next time you see me, please pass me straight, because if you dare to give me a comment like that again, - I WILL GIVE YOU THE PIECE OF MY MIND I DIDN'T GIVE YOU YESTERDAY!!!
GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY!!!!

Oh I forgot...
Dear FOUR DOGS NEXT DOOR:
Do you REALLY need to bark EVERY single time another dog in the neighbourhood barks??? I mean, really? Do you have nothing better to do at 12 am, 12:20 am, 12:40 am and every 20 minutes thereafter, but bark at other dogs barking??? Is it your mission in life to keep me up all night and wake my baby as soon as I put her to bed, so that I get even less sleep than the 3 hours I''m already functioning on??
Here''s a clue - You''re supposed to be GUARD DOGS. That means you bark at PEOPLE, not dogs and random objects!!!
Get a clue and GET OVER YOURSELVES!!!

elle - sure does!
MonkeyPie - I really wished I had told her off, but I was so taken aback I couldn''t think of any other reply but a squeaky, "I won''t...I have a hat in my bag.""
Urgh!!! I kicked myself afterwards for not being more assertive,, because her comment was really rude and unnecessary (and said in a stern tone too), and it bothered me for a good while afterwards.
Be prepared for that when you''re out with your baby....Everybody thinks it''s a ''free for all''.

Gah! Well then expect me back in here complaining because I got into fights with little old ladies that have no "off" switch on their mouths. Hah.

Dude...what happens if the baby gets wet? Does it melt?Isn''t it kind of wet in that amnio fluid?
BWAHAHAHA!
So, she must have been worried that the baby would get wet and then get cold?
I saw a thread over in FHH about Mommy Brain. Maybe women realize this and feel like they need to help out the recently not preggos by throwing out those very obvious yet friendly reminders? Idk...I''m not one to give out unsolicited advice (or really any advice IRL because I know it won''t be heeded anydangway) so I don''t understand it at all.

Dear Male Cardinal,
I saw you and the Mrs this morning and very glad you decided to take up residence with us again. Oh, we left you some suet, not sure what it is, but DH assures me you cardinals love it.
I would urge you not to fly into glass windows this year. Your a brave fellow, but it pains me when you attack your reflection and charge the windows. I can assure you there are no male cardinals hiding in this house, or in the side mirror of the car- it is only your reflection. I will try and keep the peace between you and the other male in residence, my husband, he left the suet as a peace offering, hoping you have matured, and we can share this property without further attacks.
Enjoy the new shrubs, watch out for the squirrel.

Sha-next time you will be ready to say something! That used to make me mad as a young mom too! Does it make you feel better to know that old ladies have been telling young mom''s what to do since,
well, forever? I remember, when my #1 son was little, I was lifting him up to get a drink from a water fountain. A women started berating me saying, why are you holding your son like that. How would you like to
be held like that. I thought, well, geez how else would you hold a child to help him get a drink? I remember being ticked off all day, as was my DH.
So you go for it girl, the next time you will be ready!
May I never be one of those old ladies! Never!

Dear pile of papers on my table,
I sincerely wish you could choose another table as your permanent residence. I mean, the table next door is clean and shiny and large, yet for some weird reason you prefer mine. How many times did I tell you to leave or get shred, or ousted you out, or did shred you? But you always come back.
Well, I did it once, and I shall do it again. I plan to spend my day shredding you, filing you, putting you in your proper place. And don''t you dare come back again! Get over it!
Have you ever heard of autodafe?

To the looney toons who are threatening our gov''t officials, hurling racial, sexual and/or homophobic epithets, spitting on people, faxing nooses and other out of control non-sense...
Yes, it''s frustrating when you don''t get your way. Now put on your big kid pants and GET OVER IT. Or get constructive... threats and violence make me hope you GET ARRESTED! For terrorist acts against the United States of America.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Also-it passed, you ''lost'' (because every issue these days has to be a win/lose, right?!)-GET OVER IT.
Ditto.

Dear Future Mother in Law,
Please leave me alone. I will get to the wedding planning when I HAVE THE FREAKIN'' TIME. Perhaps you can''t understand this, but I work 60+ hours a week, including weekends, barely have time to come home and eat dinner and work out at night and don''t have unlimited time to peruse potential flower girl dresses 24/7. I WILL get to it. I AM a meticulous planner. Our wedding WILL be a success and I will NOT be dropping the ball on anything major such that you will be embarrassed in front of your friends and relatives (whom you have not spoken to in years, but apparently are SO important to impress and get invited). PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Hmmm, this might be more of an "I told you so" than a get over it...
But to the dozens of people who over the last decade told me that I needed to buy a condo...HA! Renting rules! My basement is flooded and I don''t care, the floor slants and I don''t care! The neighborhood is downright dodgy, ok, "transitional" but we don''t care! Someday when we figure out where we want to live, we will buy a house, but in the meantime, "everyone" was just plain old wrong.
Oh, and added to that, since you give such crap financial advice, don''t think you can tell me what to do with the baby!

Dear MIL,
You started badgering me about returning to work 2 weeks after my daughter was born. You constantly lecture me that you returned to work 2 weeks after DH was born. Guess what? You had free daycare. I don''t. DH wasn''t on a heart monitor. Our daughter was. GET OVER IT

Dear Supposed Friend.
Our bride removed you from her wedding because you were selfish and self centered. One of two things consistently happened with you. Either a) you didn''t show up to things, acting as if it was a complete inconvenience to go out of your way for the BRIDE to help get ready for the wedding or b) you made things all about you "I thought I was going to be your maid of honor" "I want to go to the clubs for your bachelorette party" etc. I understand it hurt your feelings for her to ask you to step down, but in the end, it made her life less stressed. I am livid that you proceeded to then pitch a fit, acting like you were the ultimate victim and her a raging drama queen, taking it to all of your friends, her family and the wedding photographer. Now this past weekend, the DAY BEFORE the wedding, you send her a message to try to make amends, and send me one to let me know you did so. Sorry... not cutting it. You also proceeded to tell me you had EXPECTED an invite still. NOPE. So... I told you how it made me feel. You yet again turned it into a woe is me, pity me, my life is terrible and oh so hard party. Well guess what. We are adults. We all had a hard year. We all have to face life. We all have to grow up. You messed up... not her. So GET .... OVER....IT
And get over your petty little problems too. You having to have a full time job, and whining about paying rent to your mom, and whining about your dad making you get your car loan in your name only is nothing to cry about. Some of us have real problems. Some of us have real challenges. Our friend... our bride... had to deal with her fiancee getting cancer. They then had to deal with buying a house, both getting mono, swine flu, and the groom getting pink eye the week of the wedding. My SO"s father died. Your problems are NOTHING in comparison.
IF you cannot get over your issues... then I will be forced to remove myself from your company because I can''t take it anymore. And I WILL get over that.
