Dear peace and quiet,

Where were you today? I missed you, and I really needed you for my sanity.

Please come back soon.

Loudly yours,

Amy

Dear Anna,

I spanked you today. And it was 98% because I was very frustrated with you. I promised I would never do that, and I did. I am sorry. I just wanted you to go to sleep and stop standing in your crib and you kept standing over and over and over. Please just lay down and sleep for me now.

I love you.
