Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom is running super later tonight but I wanted to at least write you a brief letter seeings how I have not written one in a couple days. Things here are just so crazy. I hope that things start to settle down in a few days. Mom really would like to get on a routine again and soon. I desperately need it. It just seems like every day there is something to move, rearrange, fix or go somewhere. Meme is still not comfortable to drive anywhere just yet but she needs to because after this weekend, Mom will be starting to study again on Monday. She will have no choice but to do things on her own. She will have to take Bob with her. She will have to just jump in just like I did. I was driving around here the 2nd day we arrived. I know a little bit now but I am still learning too. Meme is in a very bad mood for whatever reason and it has everyone on edge here. I don't know what the problem is but her sudden outbursts and swearing is not tolerated and if she wants to be in a bad mood than fine but don't take it out on any of us as we do not deserve it. Mom is pretty tired of that and also with Bob not wanting to do anything but eat and sleep. It got on my nerves today for sure and it made me mad. I said nothing but I will be bringing it up this weekend. There is stuff to do and if he has nothing then he needs to just stay in his room then because I am getting tired of seeing it. This whole co-habituating thing is a lot harder than it looks that is for damn sure. Mark and I have had no private time at all since we have been here. That was not part of the plan at all. We were to have separate lives and not do everything together all the time either. Things need to change or else...that is all I am saying!
 Mark has been working so much lately. He had 2 weeks straight with over 60+ hours. He is needing a huge break that is for sure. He is tired and cranky as well and taking it out on me. I have done nothing wrong at all but I am getting the brunt of this too. It is so frustrating, Tyler. Mom hasn't been on her computer in 2 days because I have been so dang busy from early morning, 7 am to about 6 pm. I am sleeping or attempting to sleep by 9 pm. The weekends are just the same but again, we are hoping that things change as we have been here 1 month in 7 days. That is hard to believe because it feels like it has been a year already! The pups are doing good. They are enjoying the new home which is good. They still look for little Skittles though. That breaks my heart still. We got his ashes back 2 days ago. At least he is home now. Mom talks to all the pups that are with you all the time! I hope that they all hear Mom. I hope you hear me when I talk to you too. Smile for me and I will smile for you. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be sure to write to you tomorrow and a longer letter at that. It is already after 5:30 pm and we still need to feed the pups and make dinner. Mom rearranged a lot of things today and then paid all the bills that we needed to be paid as well. That is why I am so late. I hate that it gets dark by 5 pm too....that throws me off as well. At least the weather is somewhat good still. Grandpa said that it is under 30 degrees and there was snow last night there. They can have it! I think that is all I can write for now. Everyone is waiting on Mom. Have fun tonight while I sleep and come visit Mom if you can. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24, NIV

Lord our God, we thank you for giving us Jesus Christ, whose words remain living to this very day. You will make his words continually alive so that in the name of Jesus Christ joyful praises are sung to you, Almighty God and Father in heaven. Remember us all. Remember the particular needs of each one of us. Come to the world through the words of Jesus Christ. May his words come as your strong angels to the hearts of many to comfort and restore, to help and do miracles for those in need. May your name be praised through the great and mighty Word, Jesus Christ! Amen.
