Dear Tooth Fairy,
I can't believe you forgot to come. My son was so disappointed after personally pulling out his tooth. You must have been REALLY tired last night to have forgotten. I bet you are getting over a cold too. Now that you have had a day to recuperate from the weekend, let's hope for better results tonight.
Sincerely, Shelley

Dear Youngest Son
Dear Youngest Son,
Congrats on pulling out your loose front tooth tonight. I have never seen a kid so determined to pull out their own tooth. I don't think your tooth was ready to be pulled, that was quite a bit of blood! But, you were very brave and happy to have it out. I am concerned you will be disappointed with what the tooth fairy leaves. I don't think she has personalized hockey jerseys available. It is appropriate that you now look like the hockey player you so badly want to become! You are one tough kid, that is for sure.
Sincerely, Mom

Dear Gringos
Dear Gringos,
Feliz Cinco do Mayo! Did you know that Cinco de Mayo is more celebrated in the US than in Mexico?! It is true, when we moved to Mexico I was so excited to celebrate, but when the day arrived there was not a party in sight! This was pretty shocking considering this is a country that has "fiestas" every weekend. Turns out Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (yes, that explanation was googled). Not a big deal to most Mexicans. Want to know what day is a big party, Memorial Day! You know, "Day of the Dead". They have mariachi bands and cotton candy at the cemeteries. Go figure.
Today I send a special birthday toast to my sister. She is always one great "fiesta"! I raise my piña-colada in your honor and say, Feliz Cumpleanos Hermana!
Sincerely, Shelley

Dear Youngest Son
Dear Youngest Son,
No, I do not know where the Old Maid cards could be. How strange they should disappear when we have been playing that game EVERY free minute. Maybe we could go back to U-NO, it is really fun too. I hope you can move on to a new game soon. So far the saying "out of sight, out of mind" is not proving true for your beloved old maid.

Dear Crafty Sisters
Dear Crafty Sisters,
You both will be so proud of you older sister. Today I finished a project I have been wanting to complete for several years. I organized all of my craft ideas, decorating tips, and recipes in a big three-ring binder! It has categories for all my magazine cut-outs, so now I am completely organized. I have a vague recollection of you two mentioning something online called "Pinterest". I think you said it could help me get ideas organized. Well, good news, I did not even need to use your fancy program. I am all organized and ready to start crafting. I fear some of my ideas are a little out of date. They were cut out of magazines from quite a few years ago. But no worries, everything eventually comes back in style, right? What do you say, should I bring the special binder when I come visit you this summer? It will take up about half my suitcase, but I think it will be worth it!

Dear Readers
Dear Readers,
Greetings to all ten of my blog readers. Just wanted to give a "shout out" to celebrate my 100th post this week. That is right, I have rambled on about insignificant matters 100 times in the last three months. Although my letter to the president of Syria was not insignificant. He really needs to wake up and resign.
Anyway, the ten of you will be happy to hear that today I figured out how to switch my blog back to the old Blogger format. Yeah! I am tech savvy again! I almost threw in the blogging towel this last week. So you can now look forward to another 100 posts. Though I am sure you have far better things you look forward to. Like me, I am looking forward to seeing how my six year old sneaks maple syrup into our church meetings this Sunday. He insists the sacrament bread needs some sort of topping. I'll let you know how that goes.

Dear Walmart
Dear Walmart,
I know I keep saying that we are through. I have decided too many times that your low prices are not worth the hassle and the long lines. Once your lines were so long I had to leave my cart to make it home in time for the school bus. Then, I miss you and decide to make "one last trip". I am sure you are tired of me saying it is the last time we can be together. My threats obviously are not very sincere. I swore today was the very last time I would be shopping with you, and then I got home and saw my forgotten bag of items to be returned. Ugh!
