Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing okay but I am very tired. Day 2 of this time change & the pups are just all screwed up. Ozzy keeps waking us up at 5:30 am thinking it is time to eat. We tell him it is not time yet & he just bugs us & we give in. By the time they are done eating Mom & Mark are wide awake & can't get back to sleep. Mom laid in bed for about 2 hours checking email, looking at pinterest & playing a game on my phone before I decided it was time to get up to start the day. Poor Mark just got up & heading straight to work. Tonight will be a very early night for us & Mom is hoping that we both get some solid sleep that is very much needed. 
 The weather today is cloudy & rainy. It is 12:55 pm & Mom can't believe that in about 3 hours it will completely dark outside. That is why I am writing to you now. I figured it was daylight now & Mom would write to you then hop on over to my class & submit my exam & by that time it will be 4 pm & it will be time to feed the pups & get dinner going for Mark & I. Daylight is really short now & the nights are so freaking long. The 1st week is always the toughest to get used to the change but then we just get familiar with it. 
 Not much happened last night. Mark & Mom watched the Cowboys play against the Chiefs. They won! Whoo Whoo. That made the both of us very happy! After that we decided to watch Rogue One: Star Wars movie because we hadn't seen it & a new one is coming out next month again. That was probably the worst Star Wars movie Mom has ever seen. I was not impressed with it at all but I know you would have loved it. The movie ended at 10:30 pm & then Mom went to bed. I was so tired. Grandpa had called during the movie & I saw Debbie online. I told them I would call them tonight to chat. Meme called this morning but I was in the shower. I will have to call her later tonight as well. Honestly, last night was super quiet & today has been the same way. Maybe as the week goes on Mom will have some updates for you but really nothing for today. Everyone is doing well, staying busy, working, & getting things ready for Thanksgiving ( that is only 2 weeks from Thursday! ) & the Christmas season. Mom can't even believe that we will be putting the Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving. It seems like we just took the dang thing down! Just wow! That just shows that time is just flying by. Mom & Mark decided to have a small gathering for New Years this year. Mom's friend, Christina, Mark's friend, Rick & Charlie & Marion will be coming down. Mom has been busy with getting details all set for that.... decorations, food, drinks, games. I have fun planning things like this...you know Mom! As much as I have always loved the Holidays, they just are not the same anymore. Mom loved spending the time with you, our family & friends. Things are so different now. If Mark & Mom don't travel to everyone we would see no one for the Holidays. Makes it pretty lonely. Mom sure misses the good ole days. Mom misses you every day, all day long. I sure am trying to do my best & I hope that you can see that. Every day is tough & every day is a new challenge for me. Just bare with me, Tyler! Thank you my sweet precious son.
 Here are a couple daily prayers  for the day: In this new season, love, opportunity, healing, jobs, & spiritual, emotional & financial growth will spring forth in Jesus' name. Amen.
 God's timing is perfect. He hears your prayers. He understands your pain. The things you are praying for will show up when you are most ready & prepared for it. Amen.
 Here are a couple sayings for the day as well:
 The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of the dreams!
 The past was never a mistake if you learned from it!
 Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon!
 Well, my sweet son it is going on 1:30 pm & Mom really needs to get going now so that I can start typing my exam & submitting it. I hope that later this evening you night will be filled with the many things that you may need to do & may want to do. Come be with Mom tonight while I sleep if you can. Thank you! Mom will whisper to you as I always do later tonight as well when I am lighting the candles & later when I go to bed. Smile when you hear me & I will smile right back to you. Always remember that you are my hero, my wind beneath my wings & my shining star. You forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. I will be back with another letter to you tomorrow so until then.... good night & sweet dreams. I love you with all my heart.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
