Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is so sorry that I have not written a letter to you in a couple of days but boy after I wrote to you on Friday, things spiraled downhill pretty quickly for Mom. I sat in my glider rocker all day long and then stayed in the bedroom for the evening without going downstairs at all. By 7 pm Mom was sick as a dog. I was up until 6 am vomitting. It was horrible. I don't think anyone got any sleep at all that night. I know the pups didn't and neither did Mark. I finally was able to sleep around 7 am but I was so sore and hurting from the ab workout that Mom had given herself. I literally slept all day Saturday. I couldn't keep my eyes open at all. I think I was awake for a total of an hour throughout the day and night. Sunday, I was doing better but I still was crampy and not feeling up to par. I stayed in bed all day and watched TV until about 6 pm last night when I decided to go downstairs and watch TV with everyone. I hadn't seen Meme or Bob for 2 days. I fell asleep around 10 pm and woke up at 2 am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. I couldn't get comfortable at all. I did fall back to sleep for a couple more hours and I have been awake since 7 am. Mom is still feeling a bit fatigued but I am doing a bit better. I actually got to eat something and it is staying down so that is a good sign. I forced myself to strip the bed, do laundry and take a shower today. I had too because you could just smell the sickness and Mom wanted it out of here. It felt good to get all cleaned up and a new clean set of bedsheets for tonight. I am not going to lie though, I am exhausted as it has taken everything out of me today. I am sure I will be back to my old self again in a couple of days but I need to just get the rest. I am hoping to sleep really well tonight. I am not going to nap today to see if that helps me. Mom also had to hop on her computer to pay the bills that I didn't over the weekend so I thought I would write you a quick letter before hopping off here. 

 Everyone is good on this end. Meme is well and Bob went to an appointment again this morning. Mark is working and the pups are sleeping. Today is the 1st day of Princess not getting any medicine. She seems to be doing well so far. We are watching her closely. She goes for an appointment this Thursday to get checked out again so we will have more details then. Debbie was saying that Grandpa has been sick all weekend too. He has a nasty cold and cough and also the stomach bug like Mom has had. Poor Grandpa. I hope he is feeling better. Aunt Beck flies home tomorrow from her 3 week Arizona vacation. I am sure she will call us when she is settled in back home. Everything is on target for Meme to sell her house in the next couple weeks so that is good! That is all the updates I have for you today. Not much talking to anyone over the weekend. Just a lot of watching TV and sleeping on my end. I am sure to have some for you in the next few days. 

 The weather today is sunny but on the cooler side. All this week it will be below 70 degrees and 45 degrees at night. This weekend we will be heating up again though. It will hit 90 degrees for the Friday, Saturday Sunday forecast. That will be nice. Mom will be sitting outside for a bit. I sure hope it is sunny and warm where you are. I know how much you loved to have the sun warm your face. I still see you in my mind. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. 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 inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I hope you have fun tonight while Mom gets some rest. Come visit if you can. I have an appointment during the day with Meme to get our nails done and then I will be back home. I will write to you later that night. Mom is going to turn off her computer and relax for a bit right now. I have a couple hours before it is time to make dinner with Meme. Hopefully I will get the chance to eat with them. That hasn't happened in 3 days/nights. Please watch over us all. Thank you pumpkin. I love you with all my heart and soul. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later.

 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
