Dear Bloggers,
Stop writing for like, 48 hours.? I need to catch up.
Dear Client,
No, you cannot have a 50% refund on 5% of work not completed.? You can’t back out of a 95% done site.? Asshole.
Dear Grandparents,
Thank you for such an amazing time, but you made me cry in the car after we left.
Dear Other Grandma,
So glad my Dad wasn’t there.? It was so wonderful to see you and I’m glad you’re going home in the next few days.
Dear Father-In-Law,
Happy 60th birthday.? You are such a fantastic person and I’m so glad to have married into your family.? The party was fantastic tonight.
Dear Water,
I’m so glad I’m drinking you right now.
Dear Dylan and Thomas,
Please be good in the morning.? Your father will be hungover and we need to go get groceries tomorrow.
Dear Undisclosed Family Member,
I’m SO DAMN HAPPY you are making us Auntie Karen and Uncle Daren.? The boys are excited as all get out too.? I only have three pieces of advice: trust yourselves, don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for your parenting decisions, and never stop communicating.? We love you and we’re here for you for any reason - even if it’s 3 a..m. and you are at your wits end.
Dear BlogHers,
Yes, I’m very excited.
Dear cottage,
No I can’t wait to get away from the mothereffing internet.?? I’ll see you soon.
Lots of Love,
Karen

So, are all the grandparents doing better? I hope so. Who or what is cottage? Should I know that already?

I’m with you on the Dear Bloggers - g*dd*mn it, I’m so freaking far behind in reading too.
Have a wonderful time at the cottage and see you soon (for real, I mean, woah, see you soon in person - gah!)

I agree, let’s all take a 48 hour break from blogging so we can ALL catch up. Good call Karen, I have been desperate for a solution.
And holy shit, I can’t believe you have another client that makes your life miserable as much as I do! But, I never ever wanted to back out, I love your work. So so so talented. Can you quit on a CLIENT after 95% of the work has been done?

I agree totally…I’m in the hometown again, and internet coverage is limited. Holy shit people need to stop writing for like a second so that I can catch up. It’s crazy.

Wheres the dear letter to me?
Also, now I am deeply interested in knowing who the undisclosed family member is who will be making you an auntie. Is it who I think it is? Damn. Tell them to hurry up and tell me.
By the way, slap a bitch (client) for trying to screw you over. Ain’t no screwing on the internet!!! Well I suppose there is - cybering…but still. What a dumbass.
