Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! Well today is your day...it is Halloween so Happy Halloween to you. It was your favorite day of the year. Mom misses you so much! I have kept myself busy all day and night so that my mind was not wandering. Mark and Mom went shopping after we voted during the day and then I came home and did laundry and rearranged my office a bit. After all that I made dinner for everyone, did dishes and then we played poker for a bit. Mom wanted to write to you quickly before I call Grandpa to say hello and then Mark and I are going to watch a scary movie. We are going to watch Halloween...yup you heard right. You would be so proud of me...lol Hope I sleep tonight!!! Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Mom will write to you tomorrow and the letter will be longer. I am on my cell phone right now and the new format makes it hard to write to you. 

 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 miss you so much. More than words can say. I have the warmer lit up for you. I will whisper to you before I go to bed. Smile for me and I will smile to you. 

Mom is going to get going for now. Mark is waiting for me. Until tomorrow comes my sweet precious son....good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 👻🎃🦇👻

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! Happy All Hallows Eve to you! How are you doing on this Friday late afternoon? Mom has been crazy busy today. I was up at 7 am and I have been on the go ever since! The pups were fed and walked and then Mom came up to her office and printed out 3 labels, paid the bills and then went and got ready. I was out the door to the post office by 10 :30 am and home by 11:30 am. I immediately grabbed something to eat and then back to the office I went. I have been here all day long. I took a break from doing my studies and I placed a couple orders for my December Boxes and then did some more orders that I needed to do. I am all finished up on the next set of boxes. I just have to order the boxes themselves again and I will be finished. Then when they come in I can start to slowly curate the boxes themselves and get a really good head start on things. Next week I will also work on my studies. I figured I would until the boxes show up and then it will be all about that for the next few weeks and then back to my class work, etc... I am hoping to be done by the end of November so that I don't have to worry about classes any longer! Mark has been crazy busy as well today. I have hardly seen him at all...lol. I am hoping that this weekend we will be able to just sit back and do nothing at all. I know that tomorrow we will be going to vote in the morning and that is it for the day. Tomorrow is your favorite holiday...it is finally Halloween! We won't get any trick or treaters but that is ok. We will have candy for ourselves though...lol. We plan on playing poker for a little while and then calling it an early night. Mark and Mom will probably watch a scary movie in your honor of loving the holiday so much! Mom will probably have nightmares but that is okay....Sunday Mom and Meme will be painting with my friend. I know I will write to you quickly tomorrow afternoon but I know I will take a break on Sunday to just be away from my electronics as Monday will come fast enough and I will be at it all over again. I know you understand completely and you see how busy Mom is and what little time that I have to myself these days. I am trying my hardest! 

Today makes 1 year that Skittles left us and you have him now with Daisey, Baxter, Snickers, Max, Snapples & Ziggy. I know you are taking good care of him just like all the rest. You are surrounded by all these pups that are missed so much. Mom has said nothing to Meme at all as I don't want to remind her if she has forgotten. I didn't. I miss Skittles so please give all those furbabies lots of hugs and kisses from me please. Thank you my sweet precious son. 

Everyone is good here. I haven't heard from Aunt Beck but I am sure she is just fine in Arizona. Grandpa is good and I will call him tomorrow to say hello and to check in. I will update you on things as I know. 

It is already 5 pm and Ozzy is going nuts. He is hungry and whining to go downstairs to eat...go figure. Mom will make sure to put a candle on for you or the warmers. We are going to eat dinner and then watch 2 shows with Meme. Then we will come upstairs and watch tv and then go to bed. I will whisper to you like I always do so smile for me when you hear my voice and I will smile back to you. Come visit me if you can in my dreams and have fun while I sleep. I miss you like crazy 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 inside my heart, mind, body and soul. until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛🎃💛🎃

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing ok! I finally got some sleep last night. Not a whole bunch but a little! I was up at 8 am this morning...yup that is late for me. The pups got fed and walked and then Mark went to work. Meme and Bob left for a bit so it was Mom downstairs relaxing and enjoying the quiet time. I made breakfast for Mark and I and brought it upstairs. Instead of eating and then taking a shower, Mom got right to her studies. I read through another lesson and took notes and then took the exam. I got a 95% on it so I am happy with that! I have 3 more lessons, the projects and the final exam to do and I am finished the course! I am super excited and I think that Mom can get it all done by the end of the year! Next week it is back to working on my boxes for December and really start thinking about February. Lots to do but Mom will definitely take her time and do it right so that I am not stressing out over it and making myself sick! 

Last night was pretty uneventful and quiet. Meme and Bob went to bed early. Mark and Mom had dinner and then decided to come upstairs. Mark took a long hot bath to warm up. He was cold and couldn't shake it. Mom watched tv and cuddle with the pups. We went to bed around 11 pm. Tonight will be about having dinner and then relaxing again. This weekend is turning into being very busy. Saturday will be shopping and running errands and then Sunday Meme and Mom are painting again with my friend. This time we are doing a snowman. It will be very cute. I can't wait for that one. Mom can't paint half as good as you could. You definitely get that from Meme and also Pepe. Lucky! Mom misses your paintings that you would do. Now I see your masterpieces in the sky though and they are breath taking! Hope I see another soon!

Friday will be busy for Mom. Post office to ship a few boxes out and then back home to study and do a couple lessons. If I can get most of them finished then I will be good for next week if I have some time. I could start the projects. Mark is busy all day as well. Next week will be even busier. He is at the office Monday, Tuesday and Thursday next week. I hope he can handle it. You know Mom...always worrying about everyone. I know on Monday, Bob has a doctors appointment in the morning as well. I bet he will be tired the rest of the day though. Mom can't get over that Halloween is now just 2 days away. The weather is supposed to be nice too. I am not sure what Halloween looks like this year for the kiddos with Covid but I hope they get to have some fun at least! It would be a shame for them to miss out on this. Covid around here is still bad. 5000+ cases new daily and deaths are still in the upper hundreds. Mom read that Disney Paris shuts down again after today due to mandatory lockdown in Europe. Disneyland is still not opening up. They have been closed now for 7 months. I don't think it is long before Disney World shuts down again. Over 800 Cast Members were let go from their jobs yesterday. Mom had friends that went to one of the parks this past week and it was bare. Great for locals but really bad for the parks! I know we all can't stay closed forever but I think that things opened too fast and we are seeing the repercussions of it all now again. I think this whole mask wearing thing will go on for another couple years. There is not an end in sight right now. My friends are still battling it. This is week 2. They thought they might be on the mend but after 1 day it went downhill again. Mom is sending them a care package tomorrow. I hope it makes them smile! I check in with them every day too. I just want them to get better. It all sounds horrible and I pray daily for us all. If you can, please watch over us all here. Keep us healthy and safe. Thank you my sweet precious son.

Mom will light the warmer for you tonight. I will whisper to you as I always do. Smile for me and I will smile to you. Have fun while I sleep tonight and come visit in my dreams if you can. I miss you so much. 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 back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now I am going to close. It is close to the night routine stuff for me. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛🎃💛🎃

 

 Dear Tyler,

 Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I am still pretty tired though. I just am not sleeping well at all. I am not sure what is going on with Mark either as he is constantly snoring all night and keeping me awake. This Momma has to start getting some sleep or I am going to be crankier than I already am. My patience are wearing thin in just about everything right now. I don't like feeling this way but with no sleep and running ragged and doing everything...there is not much else I can do at all. Anyways....

Mom was up at 7 am this morning. The pups were fed and walked and then Mom stayed downstairs for a bit and relaxed. I looked at emails and social media. I then came upstairs and made the bed and got ready. My whole day was dedicated to studying and that is exactly what I did. I studied 2 lessons today and took the exam that went with it. It was 40 questions...did it in 20 minutes and got a 100% on it. My grade is sitting at a 97% right now! Mom is on the Deans List and my GPA is a 4.0 again! I am at 62% done now and by the end of the week I will be over 70% . All my lessons will be completed and I will just have the Projects to do and then the Final Exam and Mom is done. I am hoping to work on the Projects this weekend or at least one day over the weekend and the maybe take the final exam next week. Mom will keep you posted on that! I am just proud of myself with all that I have done in the last 10 days. 4 days of that were taken off and nothing was done so it is actually 6 days. I know you are proud of me too and that means everything to me. Thank you, Tyler. My sweet precious son.

Mark had an interview today. I guess it went well. He was happy about it but Mom not so much. He already has 2 jobs. Yes one goes away in December and the other one in February as they are contracts but he is now looking at being an instructor at the University of Florida 2 nights a week. He is not thinking this through. he is busting his butt with these 2 jobs right now, not sleeping at that much and now he wants to add a 3rd one. He can't drive really well in the dark either so that is another thing he is not thinking about but Mom has no say in it. He is eventually going to get sick again. I told him to be careful but he again just thinks I am nagging. He won't think that way when he gets sick. Everyone is telling him this exact thing but he is also ignoring them too. I don't feel so bad there. 

Tonight will be an early night for Mom. I am hoping to get some rest that I need badly. My day will start by going to the post office and then right back home to make breakfast and start my full day of studying. I will write to you later in the afternoon when Mom is finished up. Tonight I will light the warmer while I relax and watch a bit of tv before going to bed. I will whisper to you like I do nightly. Smile when you hear me and I will smile back. Have fun tonight doing all the things you want to do or need to do. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thanks! Just a couple more days until Halloween...3 to be exact! Mom will have to come up with some fun turkey pictures for November....lol. I will make you laugh...just wish I could hear your voice and laugh again. I miss it. I miss you like crazy. 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. It is after 4:30 pm. I have a few things to do before starting the night routine so I must close this letter to you tonight but I will be back tomorrow again. Until then and tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams. I love you, pumpkin!

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🎃💛🎃

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is not going to lie... I am exhausted as all heck today! Again, last night Mark snored so loud for so long, then the ceiling fan was making a very loud noise as well, then Ozzy was uncomfortable and Mom got to stay awake due to it all. I got very little sleep. I was up until after 11 pm and up at 7 am. Pups were fed and walked and my was ready and out the door by 9:45 am. I had a hair appointment that lasted for 3 hours and then a nail appointment right after that last 1 hour. I was home at 3 pm. I came right in the house and right upstairs to check emails and do a few little things. I am starting my list of things to do and prices for the February Box now. This rest of the week will be Mom working more on her class as next week I will be having to start my December Boxes....already! Then in December I will have a couple weeks to work on my class again and hopefully by the new year I can be finished with it! That is my goal at least!

I think tonight will be all about feeding the pups and then taking them for their walk and having dinner and the rest is not being on the phone or computer and just straight up relaxing and doing nothing but spending time with Mark and maybe watching a bit of tv. I think it will be a night for a bubble bath as well seeing how I was not able to last night. Mom didn't feel the greatest and then I was supposed to call Grandpa, which I did but it was like at 9 pm. He is doing awesome! He has not been taking aby medicine now for several days and things are back to normal! I am so happy about this news! I was getting kind of worried to be honest with you. deb is doing well too. They are not liking the weather that is coming their way this week though. They could get anywhere between 2-8" of snow on Halloween. That is crappy for them! Mom is very happy with the 93 degree weather that is still here. 

I can't believe that it is already after 5 pm and you know what that means....it is time to start the night routine and get the pups fed and walked. Mark is finishing up on his work right now. He just got word that he will be having to go to the office on Tuesday and Thursday's starting next week. He will leave here by 8 am and will be getting back around 5 pm or later. I am not sure what he is going to do though as he can't drive his vehicle until it is legal and he can't take mine either as I need it. I told him last week when he did that he could only use mine for that day and that was it. I am not going to get into it with him tonight as I do not feel like arguing but I know it will be happening later this week I am sure. 

Mom will be back tomorrow with a longer letter to you. I wanted to write to you at the hair salon but their internet connection was so slow that I couldn't do a dang thing so I just sat there. I was bummed. I will light the warmer this evening as I think we will be watching tv tonight in the bedroom opposed to downstairs. I just want to get comfortable and relax and cuddle in bed. I will whisper to you you before I fall asleep tonight. I hope you hear Mom talking to you every night and every morning. Smile for me and I will smile to you my sweet precious son. Have fun tonight and come visit me in my dreams if you can. I miss you and 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. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams, pumpkin.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🎃💛🎃
