Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday evening? It is after 5 pm and Mom is running so late today. I can't seem to get my head out of my butt at all. I have been up since 4 am. Mark and I didn't sleep much at all. He had to be up at 5:30 am to leave by 6:30 am. Tomorrow he is out the door by 7 am so at least I can sleep until my regular time! He starts the 2 days a week now. It will be a new routine to get used to and then in a couple weeks he starts the 2 nights a week too. He will rarely ever be here anymore and that just sucks but I will deal with it like I have too. Mom is hoping to get a lot of sleep tonight as I really need it. I wanted to study today but just couldn't so I will be studying all day tomorrow while Mark is gone. I should be able to get through at least 2 lessons if not the 3 so that I can start my projects this week and then it will be the final. I know you will be with me every step of the way. Thank you my sweet precious son!

Last night, Mark and Mom were both pretty sick. We called it an early night and watched tv in bed until 9 pm and then tried to sleep but no real luck. The pups were restless as it was raining pretty hard. Princess and Ozzy were scared. Tonight will be another early night. We shall watch tv for a bit and then call it a night early again. I hate that it gets dark so fast. It is after 5 pm and it is almost dark. By 6 pm it will be completely dark out. It sucks in plain english! Guess we have to get used to it as it will be this way for another 3 months! 

Mom ordered her boxes and they should be here some time next week so until then I will be working on my classwork and then switching over to the December boxes. I have to get the candy and cards and that is it! I am still waiting for a couple things to come in though. As long as I can get them mostly done by the end of the month I am good. I do have to get 2 boxes out before Thanksgiving though. I got this and I will do it! 

I called Grandpa last night. I asked how he was doing but he fibbed to Mom. I didn't say anything though. I didn't want to make him upset. Debbie will keep me posted though. I will keep you posted as I know things! Everyone else is good. Nothing from Aunt Beck lately and never anything from Bean. It is coming up to a year that we have heard from her. Oh well...it is what it is. 

Tomorrow is November 3rd. Usually that is just a typical day but not this year. It is the day that we all find out who the next President is going to be. Will it still be Trump or will a new President be elected...Biden. Everyone is on edge for this one. There is so much controversary with this election. Mom keeps her opinions to herself but I did vote on Saturday. I sure hope my choice wins! Guess we will all find out very soon. Mom will tell you on Wednesdays letter. 

It is getting really dark now and the pups need to be fed. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I will light a candle in a bit too. Smile when you hear Mom whispering to you. I will smile back. Have fun while I sleep. Come visit in my dreams if you can. Thank you, pumpkin! I miss you 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. Don't ever forget any of this! Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
