Arrivederci
I received the following "Dear John" letter yesterday. I'm still in shock, but I really need to share it with someone. I, I, I just don't know what to say.
Yo Jennifer!
Listen, Toots, I hate to do this to ya, but I gotta be leavin'. We've had a great run, but there are so many places I gots to be and people to meet. I'm just not feeling it anymore witcha. You can't expect a guy like me to be tied down here anymore.
Peanut is getting older now and yeah, yeah, yeah, I realize you've depended on me for gettin' showered and dressed, but you'll be okay without me. You ain't the only chick I've left, and you won't be the last. I've tried to ease you into my inevitable departure, but lady you are WAY TOO ATTACHED. I've been showin' up later and later and sometimes not at all, but you just can't take the hint. A clean break is for the best.
I've talked to the guy in charge of afternoons and he says that he'll be sticking around for awhile. Babe, I'll miss you. We had some great times together. I will never forget you.
I know you'll probably be cryin', but you'll be alright. Life will go on, Toots. Here's lookin' at you kid. Keep your chin up.
Love Always,
Paulie
The Morning Nap
I have been leery of letting go, but I just didn't expect it to end like this. That morning nap has been my time to shower and get ready for the day. It's been obvious that the end was near, I know. All the signs were there...the resistance to take the morning nap, sometimes not taking the morning nap. But, but, I was a believer. A believer. I kept hoping it wasn't true.
This is a hard time for me. I could use all the support that I can get. Thanks for listening. Sorry about all the snot. I forgot to bring tissues.
Happy last day of work FIL!! Happy Retirement!

5 People are even more brilliant:
We will cry together then, Brendan seems to be giving up his only nap of the day!!!! :(
I'm with ya. With a 2-1/2 year old and 1-1/2 year old who still take afternoon naps (while my 5 year old is in afternoon preschool....ahhhhhh...quiet time for Mommy), it's just a matter of time before Middle gives it up. I'm forcing naptime on him until he's 3 though...for my own sanity.
I feel for ya. BTDT twice. It is hard to let it go. If you need instructions on how to perform a whore's bath, let me know and I'll fill you in. It may be the only kind you get until the afternoon.
Warren is no longer napping....Patrick will nap but Warren follows me around and I don't get my afternoon break to shower...*sigh* I did not want it to go! Have an awesome day!
I'm sorry.
He's a cad.
You'll be better off without him, eventually.
Now, you can go OUT in the day if you want.
I know. Easy for me to say.
