Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday Morning? Mom has been up since 6 am. Just couldn't sleep. I am sorry that I didn't write to you more Friday night or Saturday but I really felt like crap. My stomach hurt so bad. All day Friday Mom sat on the couch and just watched TV and then Saturday I was feeling better, I ate and then felt like crap again. I managed to do a few things around the apartment though while Mark took Princess to her vet appointment. I also was able to pack 90% of my office. After I did that I was really feeling yucky so I sat on the couch and watched a couple shows while Mark was playing his game with his brothers. We had dinner around 6 pm and we were both in bed sleeping by 10:30 pm. Today, Mom needs to go out and run errands and I have a nail appointment. I am writing to you before I go because I know that when we get back it will be late afternoon, I will have to put everything away and then it will be time to make dinner and do the night stuff. I won't really have a chance to write then so I wanted to now. Mom is hoping to get a few more boxes so that I can do some packing this week while Mark is at the customer site again.... 4 week in a row. I am sure hoping it will stop really soon. He needs the break from all this driving and the pain he is in will not go away until he stops going there either. Mom has not said anything as it always gets us in an argument so I don't bother. He says something about it and I ignore him. That is the only way I know how to deal with it without exploding! Anyways.... I did have the chance to talk to Meme yesterday. She was sounding even more stressed out and Bob is not helping the situation at all. I wish there was something I could do but I can't so all I can do is just listen to her vent. I know things are now getting down to the wire and it is more stress and pressure plus anxiety but we all are trying to do the best we can. We are 23 days out from closing on the house now and we only have 64 days until we leave. Mom is just continuing to do all that I can here to set things up and pack on this side so that Mark really only has to pack his office up. All the things that we don't use are going in boxes now. I plan on doing a little at a time so that I don't get stressed out on my end. Grandpa and Debbie are doing well. They have already started to pack things up too. They will be coming down 5 months later but they want to get a head start on things. They both only have 7 weeks left before they retire. I am happy for them! After they both do retire, they have a few things they want to get done to the house and then they will start the real packing. The months will go by fast because of the holidays and winter months up here. They are starting to get excited so that is a good thing! I still have not heard from Aunt Beck but I am sure she is doing just fine. She is still in Italy and I think she leaves a week from today. Maybe I will hear from her this week. I know you are watching over her though. Thank you pumpkin! That is all the updates I have for you today. Mom needs to be finishing this letter up and then hitting the road to make my appointment for 11:30 am. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you though. I plan on doing some studying and a bit of packing. Mom did her last lesson in her course and I took the exam.... I got a 95%! Now I have the 6 projects to do and the final. Hoping to get a lot of that done this week! I will start a new candle to you later today. The stash is getting lower. I think I will only have to pack a couple up so that is good! I will whisper to you tonight when I go to bed. Smile for Mom and I will smile to you my sweet precious son. I miss you like crazy and I love you more than words. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Have fun today and tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!" Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the Lord returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes. Isaiah 52:7–8, NIV
Lord our God, grant that we may be your watchmen, who can understand what you mean for our time. We thank you for all you have already done, for every change to the good among the nations. For the nations must bow to your will so that nothing happens unless accomplished by you. Judge us wherever necessary. Open our eyes to see where we are wrong and where something does not go according to your Spirit. Be with us and give us strength. Raise up more watchmen everywhere, in every place and in every home. Wherever something happens to move people's hearts, let the watchmen proclaim, "This comes from God. It does not matter how much we suffer. This comes from Jesus Christ, who suffered and died, but who rose again." Raise up such watchmen among young and old everywhere on earth, to the glory of your name. Let there be a people who go to meet you with shouts of joy and thanksgiving. Amen.
