"Thank You"s and "I'm Sorry"s

or should it be "Thank yous" and "I'm sorries"?

Whatever... :)

Dear Parenthood Seasons 1 - 4 on Amazon Prime free instant streaming, thank you for getting me through the last four days of insane paper grading and laundry folding.  I couldn't have done it without you.

Dear Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, I'm sorry for ever saying I didn't like you.  I take it back. You are delicious.


Dear nurses at the pediatrician's office that always answer the helpline (eventually), I'm sorry for calling you incessantly.  I am considering creating a fake name for future calls so that you at least think you aren't talking to the crazy mom who worries about everything again.

Dear $20 leopard print tuxedo flats from Target, thank you for making me feel partially trendy and put-together on days when my hair looks like a squirrel's nest, my shirt is wrinkled, and I have bags under my eyes.


Dear Sam's incredible babysitter Jennifer, thank you for loving my boy so well when I'm not there, for unloading my dishwasher every.single.morning, and for not judging me for leaving my bed unmade and my underwear on the bathroom floor.

Dear "little man" clothes, I'm sorry for judging you before I even knew you.  I might think you are kind-of cute now. (Or maybe it's just the pumpkin hat!)

  1. Hey E,

    You're post made me smile this morning! I love the part about the unmade bed and underwear on the bathroom floor...I'm guilty too.

    I'm a new reader, and I love your honest, heart-felt posts!

  5. Once again - hysterical! Great blog post and I can so relate. I want to thank my babysitter for folding my laundry for me (including my undies) and not judging the unmade beds, dirty dishes in the sink, and dog hair gathered in the corner. Love your blog!
