Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? It is 4 pm already and Mom and Mark have got a lot of things accomplished today. Lots of texts, emails, calls and paperwork that needs to be done but we are handling it just fine. Mark was up at 7 am and I was up at 8 am. Mom slept in for the second day in a row. Granted it was only an hour but it still felt great and much needed. Mom lounged in bed for a bit as well. I spoke to Aunt Beck briefly and then I was doing all kinds of things. Mark went out and got a haircut and Mom chatted with Grandpa and Debbie for over an hour. After that I made the bed and got ready, vacuumed the floors and then came in my office and marched forward with all kinds of phone calls and emails to a bunch of different people. I succeeded with most but have follow ups to do tomorrow. Mark will be at his office all day and then PT so Mom will have quiet time to do all this. It will be a rainy day from what I can see with thunderstorms periodically. I might be lucky to get a lot done or I might be sitting on the couch with the pups shaky trying to do all this stuff. Either way I will get it done! Mom may not have the time to do any studying but I am definitely not slacking off and doing nothing. I am busy from the time I get up until after dinner. The last several weeks I have just enough time to unwind after dinner for a couple hours until it is time to go to bed. It is crazy chaos but I am not complaining because I know what the end results will be. I actually don't mind doing all this. I enjoy it. I think that is where Mom's OCD comes into play. Being detail-oriented and organized helps me. I do what needs to get done and I don't do anything else until it is finished and then I move on to the next thing. Mark is so different. He knows things need to get done and he puts it off and when he has to finally do it he gets huffy. He is doing this exact thing right now. He is huffy at me because I supposedly disturbed him while doing paperwork that needed to be done a couple days ago. Instead of doing it then, he left it and decided that playing a video game was better so now he has no choice but to sit there. I do not feel sorry for him in the least. He needs to prioritize things better ans actually grow up and not act like a child waiting to only play games. Sorry, that might be cruel but it is the truth. Folks are coming down on me for things that they need and he is not doing. They come to me to have me tell him these things need to get done. It sucks because he gets huffy and angry with me. I tell him"don't shoot the messenger". There is a lot going on with his work, the relocation and it will only get busier in the next couple months. He will have to realize there will not be much time to do what he wants to do just like I won't have the time either. Things have to get done and I refuse to be the only one that will be doing it. His brothers will have to be put on the back burner for awhile until things are done and we are moved. One of his brothers will understand but the other one...not so much. He calls every night asking Mark to play the video game. Mom doesn't mind if it is a couple times a week but I now can't stand when he calls. We don't see eye to eye since they were here for a visit back in February/March. I have honestly lost a lot of respect for his brother and his brother's girlfriend. I know they feel the same way towards me and frankly I don't care. I know I am an adult and act like one. Them...well...not so much. I won't go into details about it but just trust me on it. Anyways.... I could go on and on about this but I will stop right here...lol. Your new candle was lit this afternoon. It smells so good. I love the scent. It is Eucalyptus Mint. It smells the whole kitchen and living room up. Mom will whisper to you later this evening before bed. I hope you have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me if you can. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now it is time to feed the pups and get dinner started for us. Later I will relax and do nothing but watch TV or take a bubble bath. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are forever my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS Please give Max a lot of hugs and kisses from Mom. Today is the 5 year Anniversary that he left this world to be with you. I know when he fell down the stairs and injured himself you caught him. Thank you my sweet precious son! I miss Max so much. He was just a big cuddle bug. I sure hope he is running and playing now. Give Snickers kisses and hugs too from me. I miss you all so much more than words can say.
Here is the prayer for the day:
But as for me, I will look to the Lord, I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. Micah 7:7–8, RSV
Dear Father in heaven, as your children we stand before you and lift our eyes to you. We are poor, needy people, often wretched and tormented. Let your eyes rest upon us. Grant us the help we need. Bless us when we gather in the name of Jesus Christ, that we may be a people who learn to serve you on all the paths we follow, even if it proves bitterly hard. Give us true faith for every moment. May we have joy and confidence that you are with your children, that you remain with them forever, until the great time of redemption when we will rejoice with all past generations and with all who are living today. Amen.
