the two hundred dollars you gave me for this month is not going to cut it. unless you think i make $200 an hour grading (and for the record, i don't) you are insane and/or an insensitive jerk. working my ass off at two jobs and taking care of OUR children full time doesn't build character ... though it apparently builds resentment! and if you aren't going to give us money, the least you could do is call more than once every four days.
cordially, me
ps: your letter from dcss should be arriving momentarily.
dear credit card company,
the $500 i put on you for medical bills plus the $500 i put on you for my property taxes (and the $100 for gas and the $250 for food and the $100 for p's school and the ...) is a reflection of something other than my superior ability to manage money (see above). i have juggled a very tight budget before and this isn't my fault. i'm sure you hear this all the time but really. i love you now but i will begin to hate you in january when my no interest period ends. i hope you understand that i'd like to break things off now before either one of us gets hurt.
sincerely, me
dear santa,
can you kick my ex's ass? and also send the credit card fairy? i've been SO good this year.
