Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is so sorry that it has been 3 days since I have been able to write to you. I believe you can see everything from no matter where you are so I know you have seen what Mom has been through in the last 80 hours...yes,  the last 3 1/2 days.....let me explain....

Last weekend was so rough. Actually,  it has been really rough since a few days before Christmas. Between the renters all being here for 2 weeks, the cops being called daily/nightly to putting the house up for sale, to showings and constant cleaning to get it tge house ready and no time for Mom to do all the things I have needed to do...my boxes, my school, etc... Mom has been so beyond stressed and uptight. Well, it finally all caught up with me. 

Sunday was a better day than Saturday that is for sure. Mark and I went out and did some errands and then came home.  He studied his class while Mom did a few things and wrote to you. We had dinner, relaxed for the evening and watched TV before going to bed around 11 pm. Mom was tired but I could not sleep all that well. It was a weird feeling. I was up at 4:30 am stirring, not feeling right. Mom went to the bathroom and something told me that I was going to get sick. I crawled back in bed and basically waited. I was right....5 am it all started. Mom was so sick. I 🤮🤢 for over 12 hours. Very little sleep. I stopped 🤮 Tuesday morning around 3 am. I was able to sleep most of Tuesday as I was so exhausted. Then Tuesday afternoon.....it went the other way. Mom was 💩 for over 14 hours. Again, no sleep Tuesday night really. Yesterday, which was Wednesday, Mom was awake at 7 am. I actually went downstairs and got a change of scenery. I came back upstairs and changed all the sheets out, lysoled everything. Mom took a shower and then crawled back in bed. I watched TV all day but stayed awake with no naps. I even managed to eat 7 saltine crackers and 1 piece a toast with peanut butter. Everything stayed down which was great! Mom stayed awake until 10 pm. I had a good night sleep which was nice. I woke up at 5:30 am and could not get back to sleep. Mark and Mom got up at 7 am. We took the pups to eat and then outside. Mom decided to get some fresh air. It was chilly but nice. I have not been out for 4 days. I stayed downstairs for a couple hours. I then got something to eat and then made my way back upstairs. Aunt Beck called. I chatted with her for a couple minutes. I wanted to try and do a few things today but I started to feel like crap again. I did manage to gather the trash, vacuum the upstairs carpets, do laundry and basically crash after that. Everything I wanted to do went out the window. I was back in bed and watching TV. This is day 4. I know Mom is getting there but I was hoping today would be the day. This is the 1st day that Mom has had energy to want to be on the phone to write a letter. I am so sorry. Mom is not handling the stress of everything very well lately. I need to focus and get back on track. I need to not worry about so much. I am going to try to deal with it better. After this time......I really don't want to be sick again for a very long time. 

Fast forward to today. We have a new President.  Won't say anything about that. Time will tell on that subject. Not much for updates. Pups are good. Ozzy has been hanging with Mom while Princess is with Mark. Bob is still really quiet daily. Sleeps all the time and says nothing from what I have heard. Meme spends her days downstairs with Rocky. She seems to be the only one down there. Mom was not happy this morning though if I am being honest. I was appalled at the way the house looks in just 3 days. It was a mess and there is no need for it at all. Counters were gross so Mom cleaned them. I fixed the furniture up and the floors need vacuuming and mopped but I just don't have the energy. I noticed that the hallway up here is all marked up due to them packing their stuff up. I wanted to say something but I was already so stressed out that I just had to walk away from it. I would have liked to think that everyone would have helped Mom out the last few days but guess not. 

The house has not been shown in over 7 days. That is worrisome. The realtor hasn't said much either. Mom just has a really bad feeling about this. I think that Mark and Mom need to rethink this whole thing. I want to move, don't get me wrong, it's just I am having my doubts now. I wish there was something that you could help Mom with. 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 light the candle warmer later tonight and whisper to you before I fall asleep tonight. Smile for me and I will smile back to you. Hopefully tomorrow I will be feeling a lot better. Please watch over me and keep me safe and healthy plus every one else too. Please watch over Grandpa too. Thank you my sweet precious son.

 Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter. For now though, Mom is going to rest. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Have fun while I sleep. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💗
