Dear No Show,

Do you have any idea what you put me through? Do you know how rude it is to not even call and at least say you forgot your appt. with me at some point? I know I do not posess all the facts about what kept you away. Just like I know there is no way you could know what my last 5 days have been like. How could you know that my Tiny Tot gave me strep throat. I was just trying to keep her distracted at her well check. She was playing the please bite my finger if I can squeeze it between your teeth game. Your right, you do not know her anxiety level for anything new is through the roof. How could you know? So I guess you would not know that it laid me out flat. You know me, I am fighter and can usually just keep going. Nope, not this time... How could you have known my hubby called in sick to take care of me for two days in a row. You know, chills, fever, chills, fever. Sleepless nights and a trip to the urgent care. I definately know you did not know what came next. Taking a lot of my meds to make it to two photoshoots and out to Birthday dinner with my family. Let's not forget the part where I threw up out the car window on the way home from dinner, and woke up the next morning with a allergic reaction to those same medications that were supossed to help me. My hands and feet turning crimson red and swelling, stinging in hot water. I sure wish someone could have made my body STOP itching. Nothing worse than itching with no end in sight. Another Doctors appt. and new medicine. I can at least eat and swollow with out wanting to pass out. Dramatic, maybe a little, but I am entitled every now and again. We all are... Do you have any idea what happens to a house of nine when Mom is out of comission? Have you ever started the same load of laundry 4 days in a row fully intending to actually get it to the dryer at some point? Have you been in my hall bathroom after 5 days of no Motherly supervision, YIKES...Things go to pot really quick aroound here with out me. I saw I had an appt with you today. Darn it, I scheduled you at the same time as Sweet K's dance class. Instead of ruining your plans I figured out a way to make it work. I took extra medication so I could talk with out it hurting and drank some caffine so I would be nice.(seratonin lift) I had just done the quickest semi-deep cleaning of my house I have ever done. I griped at my kids for playing in the water outside, getting wet and muddy, and even the least bit dirty. Any wrong move and my plan would be foiled and you would be inconvienienced. Who wants to go anywhere for a service and find it dirty? Not me! I really just wanted to lounge in my jammies and slowly get back to reality. Not how it worked. I worked my butt off getting ready, my bedroom spotless, my wax hot, table set up, strips of muslin cut, and floor mats out to protect my carpet. I was ready to go. I quickly sent my hubby out the door to work, left a note on the door for you, loaded my freshly clean children into the car, and droppped Sweet K off. I was back just in time. Exhausted and so proud of my self for pulling it off, unplanned muddy children and all. I waited, and waited, and waited...... YOU NEVER CAME! YOU NEVER CALLED!!! YOU NEVER ANSWERED YOUR PHONE!!! Again, I do not know your circumstances, but I do know mine and one thing my Dad taught me was to never be late or stand some one up. If you are going to be late, or unforseen circumstances make you renig on a commitment then you call. You ALWAYS call. My Dad taught me to respect others and their time. To consider the commitment I made with them even if it's just dropping something by their house. If you need loose boundries state them and be up front. I am late on a few occasions but never just no show on any body for any reason with out at least an apology call. I have no idea what it took for some one to arrange to see me, or have lunch with me, or make to my meeting on time. I am grateful my dirty house got cleaned. I love my sparkly shiny bedroom. I just wish I could have tackled it at my own pace as I am still not feeling 100%. Hope all is well with you and yours. Next time, just a quick courtesy call will do. I really am a pretty easy going gal.

Sincerly,
Your Aesthitician
