Open Letter to the World

Dear World,

I have a bone to pick with you.

Who gave you permission to throw me on this merry-go-round you call life?  I mean, I’m not exactly ungrateful for being on it, as the alternative is a bit disconcerting.

However, what started out as a slow spin has evolved into a ride in which I’m holding on as tight as I can.

Now, I realize it’s Monday, and perhaps I’ll feel differently by Thursday, but I still take issue.

Since you’ve seen fit to make things speed up at a dizzying speed, I’ll thank you very much if you somehow add more hours to my day.  Perhaps you might even decide to streamline my tasks…maybe help me complete my projects without frogging them, fix this computer I promised as a favor to a friend, all the while baking the cake and collecting the soccer uniforms while begging teenage girls to use their best handwriting when signing the gifts we’re giving on their behalf.

And that baking soda paste that is touted as the “all-natural” home solution for polishing silver…well, could you please hurry up the process with a minimum of scrubbing required?

I think that’s about it for now.

I’ll be in the corner, casting on napkin ring #2, while I await your response.

Your’s Truly,

AuburnChick
