Leave me the eff alone. Just this once. PLEASE.
I can't handle you, not today. It shouldn't be this hard; I shouldn't hate Wednesdays like this. So what if the baby is at Grandma's house and my night with the baby is cut a little short due to driving there and back? Why do you treat that as an invitation to crawl around under my skin, making me itch and squirm and want to scream?
You are useless. You serve no purpose. Nobody wants you here. Go away.
Sincerely,
Lindsay

Dear Anxiety's distracting, evil accomplice, Exhaustion:
We know each other very well, don't we? We're almost friends, I'd say. Or maybe family, since I certainly didn't choose you.
I can't hate you, not really. Because my baby was the one who introduced us, so.
But could you just not be QUITE so debilitating? Could I have a little personal space, a little room to breathe? Could I at least be able to concentrate long enough to do things like match my socks? It would also be really nice if I didn't have to scour my brain for the instruction manual on how to open my eyes again after each blink.
I'm begging.
Maybe if the baby would stop inviting you over so often, I wouldn't be so put out with you. But the baby has reverted to eating every two hours. Literally. I'm a bit drained. And your little vacation in Lindsay-land is starting to feel like a permanent move-in.
I can't ever be put out with the baby. I love him more than I love myself.
I just can't say the same for you. Sorry.
Sincerely,
Lindsay
