Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is very sorry that I did not write to you yesterday at all but my day was jammed pack & by the time I was done everything I just wanted to sit down & relax for the night & that is just what Mom did. I cuddled on the couch with the pups under a blanket & watched a couple movies & then went to bed. Mom never got on the computer once! Yesterday was just super crazy. Mark & Mom were out the door at 11 am after taking the pups for a walk & doing the garbage. We went shopping at a couple stores & are really finishing up our Christmas shopping. It feels great not to have to rush at all. After spending an hour or so in the stores we had to go grocery shopping & that was a zoo plus a huge nightmare. Everyone was doing their Thanksgiving shopping. It was super crazy. Mark & Mom never got home until 3 pm. I, then had to put everything away, feed the pups & get dinner ready for us. After that was all done, Mom helped Mark clean his office. That is when I said enough is enough for the day & sat down to relax. Mom really thought after all that we did & being busy all day long would make me super tired but nope. I slept like poop! I was up quite a bit through the night & boy am I tired today. This morning Mark made Mom breakfast. That was super sweet of him. We ate & then Mom got ready & took the pups out for a walk while it was not raining outside. we got in just in time before the clouds let loose. Now it is pouring rain, wind & pretty nasty outside. Mom did some paying of the bills & now I am writing to you. Our afternoon will be filled with moving things around & getting ready to finish decorating for Christmas this week. Later this evening Mom will be relaxing just like I did last night. Need to get some rest as tomorrow is Monday. Mom is back to studying & Mark is back to work. 
 I did get a chance to touch base with Meme. Her & Bob are doing well. Meme is on vacation all this week so that will be nice. Hopefully they will have a chance to do something nice for a change. Mom also spoke to Grandpa & Debbie. She was telling Mom that Grandpa was back in the ER Friday. He was not able to breathe all that well so they gave him a neb treatment to see if it would help him & I guess now he has pink eye. He still sounds like poop. I sure do hope he gets better. This will be the 3rd week for him not working & 3 times at the hospital. Debbie is now getting it. Please watch over them all for Mom. You know how I worry about everyone. I am close but not that close to just hop in the car & drive there to be with them. Thank you, Tyler. Not much else has been going on this weekend. The phone has actually been quite quiet which is nice for a change. Mom will touch base with everyone in the next couple of days & then of course on Thursday where it is Thanksgiving. I will update you as I know.
 Mom is hoping that later tonight your evening will be filled with everything you need it to be & would like it to be. If you can, please be with Mom when I sleep tonight so that I can get some much needed rest. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. I will whisper to you when I light the candles for the night which will be in about 3 hours & again when I go to bed. Smile for Mom & I will smile back to you. Mom is completely unprepared for today with my letter & I have no pray for the day or a saying so that means I will double up on everything on tomorrows letter. Mom is so sorry about that. This weekend just has been very busy & I have lost track of the time & the 2 days. Funny how it seems like Mom was just ending the Halloween pictures on here for you & starting the Fall ones....this month sure flew by so quickly. After this week Mom will be starting the Christmas ones to you. It does not even feel like Thanksgiving this week let alone Christmas/ New Years in 5/6 weeks. I kind of will be glad when they are all over. This time of the year is harder on me because I miss you even more. I get by as you can see but you also can feel my sadness. Don't worry though. Mom will be okay. 
 Mom needs to get going for now but I will be back tomorrow with another letter, prays & sayings to you. I need to do a few things around the apartment & then get dinner going for us. Mom is making homemade lasagna with garlic cheese biscuits tonight. Lots of prep work I am afraid! Until tomorrow.... good night & sweet dreams. I love you my shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
