Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing better than over the weekend. I wanted to write to you but as you probably saw Mom was either sick or busy. Saturday, mark and Mom went out. We were gone for several hours running errands and grocery shopping. While we we out I knew something didn't feel right but I just kept going and pushing myself. By the time we got home, Mom had a huge headache and my body was so achy and weak. I did nothing at all. I went to bed at 8:30 pm. I felt like crap and had a fever. After falling asleep, I woke up a couple hours later to my fever breaking and I was all set. I was exhausted and felt crappy but better if that makes any sense at all. Sunday, I made breakfast after getting the pups fed and walked. I felt ok. I didn't do much though. I didn't even make the bed or get ready at all. I was on the phone with one of my brand reps from 12 noon until 4:15 pm. Yup...long call! After that I went downstairs and I started prepping dinner. Mom made everyone homemade stuffed shells and biscuits. That got all done around 6 pm. We ate and then Mom did the dishes, we walked the pups again and then Meme and Bob went to bed around 7 pm. We followed and watched tv in the room the rest of the evening until 10 pm and then we called it a night. Mom has not been sleeping well for the last week and I have been pushing myself hard. It is no wonder I felt ill. I need to stop it though. I need to have others in this house pull some weight. I can't be the only one that runs a business, in school, does the cooking, the cleaning and the laundry. I am one person and there are 4 adults and 3 pups. something has to give, ya know? Today, I was up at the usual time. Fed the pups and walked them. Then Mom made the bed and got ready. I was out the door by 9:45 am. I went to a couple of stores and then checked out a different grocery store. Meme went with me and I only intended to be a couple hours. We got home at 1:30 pm. I put everything away and then hopped on my computer to send emails, make calls and now I am writing to you. It is now 3:45 pm. Meme and Bob had lunch when we got home and then they took off. They have been gone for a couple hours now. That is a super long day for her. She will be tired tonight. It is left overs for dinner which will be easy for Mom. I plan on soaking in a hot bubble bath and then cuddling up in bed while watching tv until it is time to go to sleep. I am hoping to get rest as tomorrow is a long and busy day for Mom. I am leaving at 9:45 am for a much needed hair app't and then right after a nail app't. It is a pamper me day. I just have to drive there and everyone does the rest. I can relax and that is what I plan on doing! Mom will be home around 3 pm. I will write to you while I am under the dryer again. I know I will not get on my computer tomorrow at all. The rest of the week is working on school as the beginning of December I go right back to my boxes! I really can't believe that Halloween is this Saturday. It is also the day we set our clocks back an hour...we gain an hour of sleep though. It will be lighter in the mornings again and dark at 5 pm which sucks. It will be this way for 3 months before it starts going the other direction again. At least we won't be getting the white stuff like up North! Saturday it is also a full moon. Lots going on. Mom will be taking the decorations down and just keeping the Autumn ones up for Thanksgiving and then it will be time to decorate for Christmas in less than a month. That is crazy to think this! The weather should start to cool down as well here. Should be high 60's low 70's at night and 80's during the day. That will be a nice change! On Halloween it will be 1 year since we all were official residents of Florida. That is crazy too. 

I didn't chat with Grandpa last night but I will call him later this evening. I know he is feeling better though. Debbie has kept me up to date. I am so happy to hear that. Aunt Beck is loving Arizona and they are doing well! Uncle Dick is sick again. His leg is infected. Mom will be praying for him. My friends are still having issues with the Covid but they seem to be on the mend now after 2 weeks. Still rough but every day is better! Power of prayer is strong! I believe! Everyone is doing okay here. The doctors are changing Bob's meds again on him. Mark is crazy busy at work and so is Mom. The pups are good though. I will keep you updated on everything when I have news.

Mom has a candle lit for you now and I will put the warmer on this evening. I will whisper to you later so smile for me and I will smile to you. I am hoping to see a painting in the sky tonight....hint hint! Have fun while I sleep tonight. Come visit me if you can. Please continue to watch over us all. Thank you 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. I miss you like crazy. More than words. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Until then....good night and sweet dreams. Mom is going to relax for an hour before it is time to get the night routine started. I love you, pumpkin.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🎃💛🎃

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday late afternoon? Mom is doing alright but after the day I have had I am plum tuckered out. I have been up since 5:30 am because Mark got another work call and had to start working then. I couldn't fall back to sleep so I stayed awake. Mark has been working ever since so it has been a super long day for him as well. He is no longer on call which is an excellent thing. This past week for horrible for him. Last Saturday morning at 12 midnight to 3 am and then on Sunday morning at 12 midnight to 3 am and then this morning. Geesh.... I think the two of us will be sleeping pretty good this evening! 

The pups were fed and walked and then Mom came right upstairs to make the bed and get ready. I was out the door at 9:30 am. I was on an adventure and that I did take. The last few days were have been having issues with out ATM cards so Mom has been on the phone with the bank. Yesterday I tried at 2 different places and the today I had to go to a bank and then I tried 2 different grocery stores and then 5 other stores and nothing. I was back on the phone with the bank again and still nothing is straightened out. What a mess. Mark and Mom will be working on this over the weekend as we need these to actually work. We have groceries to buy and bills to pay and without these working, we can't do any of it. Mom got home at 1 pm. I have honestly been exhausted since. I have done a couple things since being back but that is about it. I have a lot of work ahead of me over the weekend. I have to reorganize my closet and I have to do all the housework...mopping, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, laundry, dusting, etc... One of the days I really want to chill out by the pool and just sit in the sun. It is going to be very hot again so I want to enjoy it! Mark will probably chat with his brothers and play his game for a bit while I do all the rest of the stuff. Errands need to be run as well...blah! Like I said it will be a very busy weekend ahead for us. Mom will try to write but no promises. Remember, I decided to take weekends off to help me relax. It does not mean I am not talking about you or thinking about you because that is the farthest from the truth. You are always on my mind. You are in my heart, mind, body and soul. 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. On Monday, Mom will be back to doing a few more lessons in her class and I promise to write to you as well. I hope that you send signs to let me know you are around me. I would love that. Mom will light a candle for you every night during the weekend and the aroma warmer during the late evening while we are watching tv. I sure hope that your days are filled with all the things that you need to do and want to do. Have fun during the nights while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Please make sure to watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Mom appreciates that so much. 

It is almost time to feed the pups and walk them. Mom needs to think of what to have for dinner as well. I will come up with something...lol. Oh yeah... our family is doing good but I have a feeling you already know that...lol. Mom's friends are still in very rough shape. I feel so bad. Mark and Mom will be putting together a goodie care package for them, their kids and their 2 pups. Maybe that will cheer them up! This Covid19 is no laughing matter and it seems from what my friends are telling me that it is a living nightmare. We are all still praying for them both and for everyone.

Mom has to close this letter now as it is after 5 pm. I miss you more than words can say. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams, pumpkin. I love you unconditionally.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🎃💛🎃

 

Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is running late tonight as I just got done taking a very long exam in my class.  It is after 5 pm and I need to feed the pups and walk them but I wanted to write to you before I did all that. 

Mom was up at 7 am.... the usual time. The pups were fed and walked and then Mom came upstairs, made the bed, and got ready. I left shortly after. I had to go to the post office and grocery shop. That was a complete bust though. Neither mine or Mark's ATM card worked in the machine today. I guess the store is no longer supporting our cards. Now we have to go 20 minutes or more to get cash when we need it and then 20 minutes the opposite direction to go to the bank. Mom was not happy. I got home and grabbed something to eat and then came into my office. I called the bank and told them what happened but honestly they didn't care. I immediately started my classwork right after. It was 3 long lessons. Lots of notes and then the exam was not like the normal one. It was 3 exams in one and there were 60 questions. I had 2 hours to complete it and I did it in 45 minutes. I got only 1 wrong! I was so stoked!!!! I am tired now and my brain is fried. I believe that I am close to 50 % now. That was my goal for the week. Tomorrow I have to go and try and find this bank and then come home to do more classwork and then Mom is taking the weekend off. I need that break from my boxes and my school after the week that I have had. Mark has been busting his butt too. He is still working as well. I am sure we will both be done by 5:30 pm and then eating dinner by 6 pm. That is the goal. Tonight we will be watching the debate in bed. In less then 12 days we will have either a new President or President Trump will be reelected. I think it is going to be a very tight race this time. I will not say who I am hoping for on here but I am praying hard that my choice wins by a landslide! We shall know in a few short days. I will tell you when it is official. 

Yesterday, I posted on here that I heard that friends of mine (husband & wife) both tested positive for Covid19. They both have such different symptoms. He was having a hard time breathing, a very high fever (105.1) lots of pain, couldn't sleep. She was having mild symptoms. No fever but as of last night she was vomiting. Today is a completely different story for them both. He is in more pain, no sleep still but the fever has gone down. She is so much worse. She can't move, get out of bed, eat anything as it doesn't stay down, can't hardly breathe and she has no smell or taste. He wants to take care of her but he can't. They have 2 kids and they tested negative so that is a good thing. Mom sent a prayer chain on social media for them both last night. I have been in touch this afternoon as well. We are all praying hard for them. A 3rd friend of mine lost her Dad last night or today. This is just horrible. 2020 has been such a tough year on so many. My heart hurts for them all. I think Mom is so scared right now as Mark's job wants him to go to the office 3 days a week starting the beginning of November. They didn't test any of their employees before hand and this is so scary. Please, Tyler, watch over Mark, Mom, Meme and Bob so that we are safe and healthy through all this. It means so much to me. Thank you my sweet precious son.

Mom had a candle burning for you all day but just blew it out because the wick somehow moved and it was burning the glass. I will wait for that to cool down and that candle will be thrown out. I will start a new one for you tomorrow. I will light up the candle warmer later though. I will whisper to you before I fall asleep tonight. Smile for me and I will smile to you. Come visit Mom in my dreams if you can. I miss you to infinity and back 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. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you after I do some errands and classwork. Have fun while I sleep tonight. Mom needs to go now as Ozzy keeps jumping on me and crying. He is hungry. That is my cue....lol. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams, pumpkin.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🎃💛🎃

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday evening? Mom is doing better today so that is a very good thing. I am going in the right direction that is for sure. Thank you for being with me and taking care of me these last couple of scary days. I thanked the Angels and God too. It means so much to me. I have been up since 7 am this morning. Pups were fed, walks were done and then Mom got things ready for Mark as today was the first day that he was going to his office. I got breakfast for him and made some coffee too for him to take on the road. he left at 8:45 am and he got home around 1:45 pm. Not to bad but his first impressions of the office, co-workers and his boss were not very good ones at all. He was totally not impressed. He got right home and he hopped onto a call and has been busy ever since. Mom has been very busy too. After Mark let, I made the bed, took my shower, made breakfast for me, did the clean up and then I came into my office to start my day. I checked emails, made calls and then I did it... I started a lesson in my class this afternoon and I took a quiz! I got a 95% on it and I was so happy. I didn't even really look at my notes either. It was done by memory. I finished it in 15 minutes...lol. I was happy! I will start the next lesson tomorrow and hopefully I can do another couple exams as well. I will be at 50% done at that point and I will be happy with that. I will continue to march forward with it until I get it all done. I am almost all done paying it off too so that makes Mom feel good as well. I will keep you posted with things.

I just found out some crappy news... a friend of mine lost her Dad over the weekend to Covid19 and now I was just told that 2 close friends of mine just tested positive. He is really sick and his wife is just starting to have the nasty symptoms. This is horrible. The cases down here are still really high and the death rate is as well. Mom goes out a bit more now since March but not much more. Now that Grandpa and Debbie are gone...it is to grocery shop and post office and that is it. We didn't go out all that much when they were here for the 2 weeks. I think back and it was 4 times. The rest we stayed here or I took them to a couple stores and then right back home. I really hope my friends get better and soon. They are really great people. You would have liked them, Ty! Mom will pray for them and everyone else like I have been all along. My heart is with them though! 

It is already after 5 pm and Mom needs to feed the pups, walk them and then get dinner for us. Thank God it is leftovers tonight. I also need to call Grandpa tonight as well and then the rest of the evening will be relaxing as I am sure Mark is tired from his day. Mom will snuggle up with the pups and watch some tv and then up early again in the morning to start a brand new day. I have had a candle lit for you all day today and I will light the warmer this evening as well. I will whisper to you later tonight so smile for me and I will smile to you my sweet precious son! Have fun tonight while I sleep. I am sure you are doing amazing things wherever you are. I am so proud of you and I always will be. Come visit Mom in my dreams if you can. Thank 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. I miss you more than words. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now I have to go start the night routine. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams. Please continue to keep us safe and healthy. Thank you, pumpkin 🎃
