Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom has just a few minutes to write to you before it is time to go downstairs and feed the pups and make dinner for us. I have been busy all day long again. I started my day at 7 am but it was a morning where I wanted to sleep in. Mark worked until 11 pm last night and I stayed up watching tv. I think we both fell asleep at 12 midnight and I was up a couple times during the night as well. Not much sleep again but better than the last few nights for sure. The pups were fed and walked as usual and then Mark started right in for work and Mom stayed downstairs for a bit to just enjoy the quiet as Meme and Bob had left for a bit. They returned home just for a few minutes and then left again for a bit. Bob has been near me all day and has not said one word to me at all. Meme is in a bad mood. She is cranky and taking it out on anyone she can. she is not understanding that her routine needs to change the next couple of weeks for Grandpa and Debbie to be here. Everyone will have their routines turned upside down but that is okay as it will be so good seeing everyone again. I have resaid that it anyone ruins anything for them or me there will be h*ell to pay for sure and they will not like the outcome at all. I hope no one tries or there will be a huge break in this family for a long time. Mom and Mark are trying our best to do the right things and we had the best of intentions but things are just not working out. They haven't in so long. Mom and Mark feel that we need our own place and so does Meme and Bob. We all live differently. We all have our set ways. Mark and Mom are very organized and detailed oriented. We like to keep things in order and very clean. We like simple and no clutter. Meme and Bob are the complete opposite. They buy all kinds of stuff that they do not need. They just hoard things. Meme used to be like Mom...super clean and kept everything tidy but now she does not at all. She has said many of times that she doesn't care to clean and why bother. Bob doesn't do a dang thing at all. He won't even push in his chair when he is finished. He wants everyone to wait on him hand and foot and that is just not happening. She made a comment today that she doesn't think Rocky is a happy pup anymore. That was heartbreaking but I know it is true. Bob won't pay attention to him...just to piss Meme off now, Meme won't let him be near Princess or Ozzy still and Meme is always making Rocky be by her side or holding him. I am sure he feels smothered in ways. I am sure he doesn't understand why she does what she does. He again is not abused by no means. He has everything he ever wants and he is loved by us but he just wants to be a dog. He wants to play with ours and Meme won't allow it. They need to have their own place so that Rocky isn't always carried. Meme needs a place with no stairs as her health is declining fast as well. She has gained so much weight and Bob isn't watching his weight anymore or his sugar either. He is getting heavy again too. Mark and Mom are so stressed that we are losing weight. That is awesome for me but not Mark at all. He needs to gain weight! Mom doesn't know what to do anymore. I wish at times that Meme would say that she feels that they need to move and they do. It would take the pressure off me for sure. If I discuss it and say something, Meme goes and runs and tells her friends that her own daughter is making her move and that she is homeless. She runs me down but never says the other side of things for others to hear. That hurts but she does it so much that I am used to it now and I just say whatever and brush it off. I think that the next 2 weeks will be a challenge for sure and a real true test to what can happen. If Meme and Bob were smart, then they would say nothing really and keep their nose clean. Mom will keep you posted on things and how it goes.

Today, Mom was busy sending out emails, on the phone chatting with friends and then chatting on line to others. I am making it clear that when Grandpa is here I will not be on the computer or social media all that much. Early in the morning and late at night but not inbetween. Mom also paid all the bills for the end of this month and the beginning of the first week of October. We are all set so that is super cool. I am trying to do things ahead of time so that I don't forget while everyone is here. Mom also purchased the tickets for Magic Kingdom and Epcot for us all...well Mark, Mom, Grandpa and Debbie....Meme and Bob didn't want to go so they will be staying home. She is going to be cranky on those days and probably will say very little as she will be left out of it all. I asked 3 times today and they still said no. I can't do anything else. I reserved the tickets for the theme parks as well. It is exciting to be able to do all this! I am so happy. We are 2 1/2 days out before I see them. In less then 72 hrs they will be here and I can not wait!!!! Tomorrow Mom will be going to the post office and maybe grocery shopping instead of doing that Sunday. I am not sure yet. I have to send out a couple of my boxes. Then next week one half will be shipped out and then the other half will be. That way all my subscribers will get their boxes way before the 15th. Mom has a nail appointment in the afternoon on Tuesday and I will take Deb with me while Grandpa can relax by the pool. It will only be an hour so not long at all. 

It is 4:20 pm. Mom needs to get going so that I can finish things up and get ready to feed the pups their dinner and then make ours. I think Meme and Bob already ate. Mark is still working right now and is on the phone. I think it may be another late night for him again. Not sure though. If so Mom will snuggle with the pups in bed and watch tv. That way it stays quiet for everyone. Mom will light your candle tonight and whisper to you before I fall asleep tonight. I sure do hope you will visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Have fun as well. 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. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Smile for me and I will smile to you, pumpkin. Please watch over us and keep us in your care. Keep us safe and healthy. Thank you. I miss you more than words my sweet precious son. Forever and a day, I will miss you more today then yesterday.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
