Dear Someone

Dear Twelve People Who Are Coming To Dinner Tonight,

Feel free to grab a glass of wine as you step in our house, quickly down it and get a second. I'm praying hoping after two glasses you might ignore our lived-in look and there's a good chance the food will taste better as well.

Also, please don't comment worry about the paint that's peeling on our living room ceiling. We're aware of it and we'll fix it eventually.

Signed,

Your not-so-engrossed hostess who will probably have a glass or two of wine before your arrival


Dear Bug,

Yay for you, little man! Thanks for staying in your room ALL NIGHT. And...thanks for telling me this morning that when you woke up and it was still dark--you told Winnie-the-Pooh about your day rather than calling for me.

Big kisses,

Your happy, rested mom


Dear Bruce,

It's less than three weeks until our date...exciting, isn't it?!

    Love it! I'm all over that dinner party, as long as you don't worry about the fur-balls on my floor from our pets!

    That does sound like a fun dinner party. They won't notice the ceiling paint anyway :)

    Mom has a sign that says, "My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy." I think that fits! :)

    I totally obsess when people are coming to our house but I never notice clutter/paint at someone else's. I need to get my priorities in check. Hope it was fun!

    Aw! I love that he told Winnie the Pooh about his day! Yay for you and Bug! He needs a squeeze from me. Go ahead, tell him it's from you if you want. ; )
