Dear my beautiful daughter,

I just slammed a bowl of vanilla ice cream into your Daddy's face.

Auntie Hotaru has a picture, ask her for it but get Daddy to pay for it.

I should explain why I slammed Ice cream into your Daddy's. While I was pregnant, even as I am writing this letter, I couldn't STAND your Daddy. And don't think it's because he got me pregnant with you. No, I loved the idea of having you with your Daddy. But, for some reason I just couldn't stand him. Even before I realized I was pregnant.

Boy, was your Daddy worried. Don't tell him I told you but, your Daddy can be insecure. Especially with the ones he loves. So, make sure you tell him you love him all the time.

But, it's crazy how much I couldn't stand your Daddy. I could be happy, talking to Auntie Hotaru, laughing and then your Daddy would walk in and there goes my mood.

I should probably explain why your Daddy now has Ice cream all over him. You see, right before I began to write this letter I was sitting in bed, watching a movie while eating Ice cream. Then your Daddy comes in. The minute he walked in and started to walk towards me I warned him to stay away and you may not know this but your Daddy finds pleasure in annoying people. Well, he does a lot more than annoy me but I think you are a little too young to read the words I would choose instead. So, he continues walking towards me. I keep telling him to stay away until your dad stood there with his face, maybe, three inches away from mine. So I grabbed my ice cream and on his face it went.

I truly feel bad but once I see him, I don't care. Do you realize your Daddy has spent more nights on the couch during the first five months of pregnancy than our first five years of living together/ being married. I am truly awful, I even sent him upstairs to Auntie Hotaru and Uncle Ruka's flat to sleep.

Do you know that before I had you your Daddy and I stayed at a three family house. Your Daddy and I lived on the first floor. Auntie Hotaru and Uncle Ruka on the second and this really great middle-aged couple who used to fight a lot.

One day, your Daddy had just got home from work and before he could he even get five feet away from the door we were fighting. Well, I was yelling your Daddy kind of just stood there.

But then all we hear is.

"Well, *Forget* you, *forget* Christmas and *forget Christmas tree!" Then there was a door slam and a constant booming sounds. When we opened the door all we saw was a Christmas tree with lights, ornaments and a star on the top come flying down the stairs, straight out of the door onto the curb.

I laughed for about twenty minutes. It was hilarious. Just imagine opening the door and a tree just flies right by you, out the door and stop perfectly at the curb. Maybe it's not funny. Who knows, I'm all messed up. You're inside me messing with all of my feelings. Tell Daddy I still love him.

Love,

Your Mommy
