Dear Monkeys,

I am sorry for our current situation.

I am sorry that you have to settle for a good night phone call from Daddy every night rather than a good night hug.

I am sorry that Daddy won't be able to see you in your first band concert.

I am sorry that I am the only parent here for you right now and I know I am not enough.

I am sorry that I am sick and can't take care of you the way you need right now.

I am sorry that I fed you cereal and ramen noodles for dinner last night because it is all I had the energy to make.

I am sorry if  I am nagging you about cleaning up the rocks on the front walk when I should be sharing in the excitement of your discoveries. It's just that I want our house to have curb appeal, so it will sell so we can all live together again.

I'm sorry if I forgot the tooth fairy 2 nights in a row. I am sorry I am the reason for your disappointment and cause you to question your belief.

I'm sorry I parked you in front of the tv to watch Barnyard for the 100th time so I could climb into bed and try to sleep.

I'm sorry the breathing treatment gave me the shakes so bad that I had to keep telling you "not right now" when you wanted to teach me how to make an oragami boat.

I'm sorry I expect too much sometimes and give too little.

I love you the purplest and am doing the best I can with what I have right now. Please be patient.


Love,
Momma
