Dear So and So

Dear Male Co-Workers,

We are all nurses. No matter how you slice it, this is predominately female profession. So please for the love of Pete put the toilet down after you pee.

~ Your female co-worker who is tried of having a wet butt.

******

Dear Jake,

4:30am is still the middle of the night. Please stop waking up at this time and expecting me to put Little Einsteins on for you. Go to sleep. Stay asleep. And wake up at a reasonable hour like 6am.

~ Your Mommy, who is thisclose to tying you in your bed.


******


Dear Patient,

When I place a rectal tube in your butt to collect your multiple bowl movement's, I except it to stay there. I didn't not put it there for you to try and pull it off

~A Nurse who is sick and tired of cleaning up your poop filled bed.


******

Dear Words,

Please stop being so difficult to spell.

~ A girl who loves spell check.


******

Dear Bedroom TV Remote Control,

Please come out of hiding. You have been gone for such a long time and I am really getting tired of watching the Travel Channel.

~ A girl who is too warm and cozy, ok lazy, to get out of bed to change the channel.


******

Dear Jeff,

I know that I said I didn't want to do anything for Valentine's Day but I decided I want too.

I decided I don't want too.

I decided I do want too.

I decided I don't want too.

~ Your loving wife who often changes her mind.


******

Dear Fox Network,

Is it time for more Glee yet? I miss it.

~ A fan who is starting to go through withdrawals.


******


Dear Household Members,

The only people that belong in the big bed in the back of the house are Jeff and Jen. Children are not allowed. Cats are not allowed. Toys are not allowed. Please stay in your own respective beds.

~ A woman who really needs her own space.

Dear Readers,

I can't begin to tell you all how much I love you all. You make me happy. I hope you enjoyed these 'Dear So and So' letters. They are the brain child of Kat at 3 Bedroom Bungalow.

Love these! Love the 4:30am one. I tell my kids they're not allowed to wake up until it's light outside. I'm nice that way.

cat said...

Oh these are so cute! I think I need to look into doing some of these. And I love you too friend. Please go check out my post from yesterday - I am sure Hayden would love something like this.

Kat said...

My cat needs to get the 4am message. Seriously, purring on the head in the middle of the night, not as funny as it sounds.

Susie said...

That meme is perfect for you because you write the best letters!!

Tiffany @ Lattes And Life said...

Our couch frequently eats the remote. And I hate sticking my hand down in that scary dark place to fetch it, so I end up watching hours of Toddlers and Tiaras. I feel you.

Heather said...

Dear Jen,

I love when you write these letters. They make me laugh and sometimes snort coffee out of my nose. Thanks for making my day :)

Love, Heather

S Club Mama said...

Yeah, how do you keep a kid who can't tell time in bed longer? LOL

Miss Angie said...

Eww, I have so much respect for what you do because I couldn't do it!

Also, I can't wait for Glee either!

stephanie said...

lovely. and if the note works with jake, let me know. i should try it with mason. it might be more effective than cursing his name when he wakes up screaming his head off at 4 am.

Kelly Deneen Raymond said...

OMG, I was just LOL while sitting here at Panera. I think the other patrons think I am a crazy lady. haha!

Diana said...

Great post! I love it!

Live.Love.Eat said...

Dear Jen,

Cute, real cute!!!!!

Love, one of your biggest fans.

P.S. See you in just a few weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gail said...

Dear Jen,
I just found you yesterday and I think you are funny. So I'll be back, no pressure!
Thanks for the laughs,
Gail

You dear patient let me with no desire whatsoever to be a nurse! And I agree, I would look like a total idiot if it wasn't for spell checker.

Michelle said...

What a fun meme!

Honey, I all I can say after reading that is thank god for women (and men) like you who are willing to stick tubes up people's butts. You are my hero. :)

Unknown said...

Come on! You're a nurse, so you should know you don't TIE them to the bed, you TAPE them to the bed (2 inch wide silk tape works nicely)

Emily said...

Love the letter. And the rectal tube...GROSS! ;)

My Trendy Tykes said...

Uh yeah....Poopy patient needs to leave that tube in place.

FOR REALS!

SaraPlaysHouse.com said...

Yes. I need more Glee in my life too.
Also, I didn't realize you were a nurse. After all we've been through with MIL, nurses are ranked right up there with angels for me right now.
So for all the patients who can't or won't say it, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. The families notice. :)

Lourie said...

Spell checker is every bad speller's dream come true! I love it. The one to the household members was great. A girl needs her space! haha.

Kekibird said...

I think your remote is with Elvis and your peanut butter.

elzimmy said...

I can so relate to some of these!

Karin Katherine said...

Rectal tube? I don't know what is worse. Having one or putting one in.

Don't answer that.

Yuck!

Cristin said...

I worked with a male nurse not long ago who not only left the seat up, but didn't freaking FLUSH!! Loser.

Levon said...

I wrote one of these a while ago and i've been wanting to write another one, but, i dont think much has changed so why write it all over again???

Unknown said...

what a cute idea...

CaraBee said...

I'm still gagging from the rectal tube. Gah.

Honey Mommy said...

These letters are awesome! I totally need to write some!

I can totally relate to your letter to your hubby about Valentine's Day. I feel exactly the same way.

I also feel the same about having my own space... my bed is MINE. Keep your stuff off!

Anonymous said...

Oh my, the poop one. Ew.
and I'm so with you on 4:30 am.

debi9kids said...

OMGOSH! LOVED this! How fun!

LOVED the letter to jeff. :)

Karen said...

If the letter works to keep people in their own beds, let me know. I could use any and all ideas right now.

Katie said...

Just started reading your blog and I am hooked!! I am also a nurse so I can (unfortunately) relate to the male coworkers and the rectal tube/poopy bed. Luckily my patients are a bit more pint-sized so bed messes usually aren't as big of a deal :)

Fragrant Liar said...

Yes, little Destructo likes to wake up in the middle of the night for toons at our house too. Where is that strait jacket?

Farmers Wifey said...

Those stupid words get me everytime!

Paula said...

I'm so close to tying mine to the bed, too!! I'm so tired of bedtime fights and waking between 5-6 am

Jenners said...

It seems very wrong to have to clean poop at work and home.
