Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright but dang I am so tired today. I actually slept really good last night as well. I am wondering if I got too much sleep and that is why I am feeling sluggish. Anyways....last night was not what I thought it would be. I thought Mark and Mom would relax and watch tv but Mark had paperwork to do so Mom chatted on the phone to her friend Matt and Debbie. I went upstairs at 9 pm, got the night routine stuff done before hopping into bed and relaxed. I played my game for a few minutes and literally crashed. I was so tired. Mark came in about an hour after me. I woke up briefly and then fell back to sleep. 

This morning we were up at the crack of dawn. Mark had to get ready for work and drive into the office. We fed the pups and walked them and then after I was done that, I went downstairs to make breakfast and start my day. I have to tell you as I have been so tired, I really have not done too much at all. I did make a call, sent emails to who I needed to and then I basically have just done nothing. I did want to write to you before I started cleaning my office up. I figured that will take a little bit so I wanted this letter done first. It is 3 pm already now and by the time I get done with the office, it will be time to go downstairs and get ready for dinner time, feeding the pups again and then hopefully tonight we can relax, watch tv and then go to bed. I think tomorrow I will venture out to go get a few things that we need...not sure yet if I will or not but that is the plan today...lol Knowing Mom it will change tomorrow though, hahaha!

Tonight, I will call Grandpa to say hello. He sent Mom a Birthday card and a check to go buy myself something for my Birthday. Mom wanted to call and say thank you and also tell them I picked out this awesome organizer cart. It is iridescent (of course) and it has 2 pencil holders, a tray, and 2 sets of drawers. It is on wheels and it is super cool! It says it will take 5 to 10 days to ship so we shall see! I am super excited to get it though. 

Not much else is really going on here. It has been pretty quiet. I do believe that the AC units are finally fixed to where they need to be, the electrical piece is doing well and not giving us issues anymore either and the pool is on its way. The new filter is in and the chemicals are doing its job so I think by this weekend or next weekend we will be ready to rock and roll and go in! Meme has bought new chairs for outside and she ordered a bench to match the chairs as well. Mark and Mom will be ordering a couple lounge chairs and then it will be done. We have a table to put together this week so that Mark can have the one that is downstairs. He has wanted that for his office for so long now...he is finally getting it! He is happy so Mom is too. I think that this weekend will be all about doing a couple errands and then relaxing by the pool and enjoying the sun and pool. We have not done that since last October.... 7 months now...long overdue and it is time. Mom got a good start to a tan this last weekend so I need to keep up with it. I hope our renters next door allow us to enjoy so time outside as well. Maybe we will BBQ too and get a cake to celebrate my Birthday seeing how we didn't do that last weekend. The options are endless though so anything is possible! Stayed tuned to what we really do! 

Tonight, Mom will light the candle warmer for you. I didn't last night as I was downstairs until 9 pm. I will whisper to you as I always do so smile for me when you hear my voice and I will smile back to you. Have fun while I get some sleep and come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son. Please continue to watch over Mom and us all. Keep us healthy and safe. Thank you and it means a lot to Mom. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you in the afternoon. Always know how 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 needs to close this letter for today so I can clean up my office. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.

I miss you more than words can say...

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖

 

Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing alright but I am quite sore after the weekend we had. I knew I wouldn't be able to write to you any of those days but I talked to you and thought of you every day. I hope you heard Mom every time too! Here is what happened over the last 3 days!

Friday~ Woke up at 7 am. Fed and walked the pups, prepped the food for their dinner, got ready and off to the hair salon to get my hair braided for 9 am. Left there and headed to the hotel to meet Mom's friends. Arrived, met them, got them checked in at the hotel and off we went to start the day. We arrived at Animal Kingdom. We went to Pandora...from the Avatar movie...the land where they all lived. Oh Tyler, I thought of you so much. It was one of your favorite movies. We used to watch it together all the time. That was so cool. One ride was a boat ride and the colors were incredible. The other was a ride that towards the end...Mom knew that I would not be able to handle it so I opted out and Mark said that was a smart move...lol. We also did a live African Safari. That was so neat. I saw so many animals. We walked around and looked in the shops for a bit. Got some snacks and drinks and then left to go to Epcot. It was late in the day for that so we did very little. We walked around and looked in shops. Everyone had food and drinks and before we knew it, it was 7 pm. We dropped our friends off at the hotel and came home. We arrived at 8:30 pm. We did nothing but crash and go to bed.

Saturday~ Mom was up at the crack of dawn. My tummy started acting up a bit but I got the pups fed and walked and out the door I went. I had an appointment at 8 am. I got back home at 8:30 am and my tummy was even worse. We finally left at 10 am to go get the guys and head to Universal Studios. We spent the entire day there. We did the Harry Potter World on both sides and Mom rode on one of the Harry Potter rides...holy moly...that was not cool... I didn't scream but I held my breathe. My legs were shaking so bad for about 45 minutes after. We ate dinner at Krusty Burger from the Simpsons. It was good. We were there for almost 2 hours and then we walked back to the Jeep. Dropped the guys off at 7:30 pm and arrived home at 8:30 pm.

Sunday~ We had a bit of a relaxing morning and then after feeding the pups, walking them and getting ready...we left for the last day out. We arrived at the hotel to get our friends at 11 am. we headed to Magic Kingdom for a bit. Mom did so many new things. I finally rode on the Haunted Mansion. I talked to you then and I hope that you were with Mom on that ride. You always wanted to do that one. We did Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pans Flight, People Mover and the guys went on Space Mountain. We walked around the rest of the time, rested and had snacks and drinks and then we made our way to the shops and then left. I was sad to see that there were no sites of Mickey or Minnie. They just had the Princesses, Buzz Lightyear and Tinkerbell. It was weird. That is the first time ever going and not seeing Mickey and Minnie so Mom was a bit disappointed. We dropped the guys off  where they wanted to go and then we came home. We made it home ourselves by 6:30 pm. We had pizza for dinner and crashed hard.

Monday~ That is today. Mom did not sleep as well as I hoped to. The dogs were very restless and up a lot. Princess was sick again. Mom was up early cleaning the carpets. I decided to stay awake and get them fed and walked. We had an appointment with the AC guys this morning as well. Mark was supposed to go to the office today was too tired so he will go tomorrow. It is already 5 pm. The day was weird. It was busy but yet dragged. Mom did laundry, vacuumed the floors and mopped them. I cleaned the house after not being home for 3 days basically. I had to do...aka...from Meme and Bob. You would think that since they are adults they could do it themselves but I guess not...that is a whole other story...Anyways, Mom checked emails, sent emails and made calls as well. Now it is time to feed the pups, have dinner ourselves and then help Mark put his office together the way he wants it done. Then it will be relaxing and bed.

The whole weekend was fun for Mom and Mark. We really needed it. The weather was warm, we got sun burned pretty bad, Mom has shin splints on both legs, our muscles are very sore, we are tired but it was all worth it! There were moments of so much laughter, there were tears shed by me when I thought of you, there were new memories created and friendships that were formed that will last a lifetime. Mom learned some new lessons along the way as well. Everyone was basically a non picture taker. They live in the moment. Mom is the opposite. I decided to put the camera down for a change and do just as they do...and Ty... it was wonderful. I saw things from a whole new perspective. I enjoyed it so much more. I know I will be taking their advice and doing more of that. (I did get some pictures but not anything like I usually would...lol!) We also learned that we can go out for a few hours and the pups will be just fine. They missed us and we missed them but they were just fine! The conclusion of this is that Mom needs to just live and not be wrapped in all the details. Let loose and enjoy it. I miss you and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world and you know I do and that I always will. I put a lot of pressure on myself a lot and I need to stop that. I need to mellow out and relax. I need to stop taking so much crap from others and I will. Saturday on the 15th...Mom turned the Big 50. It is time to make changes for the better for myself. I think you would agree. I think you will be smiling down and saying FINALLY MOM if you could. I get it now and it took the weekend to realize it. You will and also have been my hero and the wind beneath my wings. that will never change. You remain in my heart, mind, body and soul as well...each and every day. Thank you for helping me, Tyler. I get it now... I really do!

Mom will light the candle tonight for you. I will whisper to you when I fall asleep. Have fun during the evening while I am resting. Come visit me if you can. Please watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Things are getting crazy here again with the restrictions being lifted for Covid 19. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now I must start the night routine. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams, pumpkin. I love you with all my heart and soul.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💙

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing alright now but earlier I was pretty angry. I am sorry that I haven't written to you in a couple days but things as I am sure you have seen are pretty crazy around here. I will explain to you what has been going on....

Tuesday~ Mom had words with our home warranty company on Monday afternoon and again Tuesday morning. They finally realized that I was not playing around or joking so they rescheduled a new company to come out to look at the issue. That new date was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. The rest of the day time on Tuesday was spent on the phone, emailing people and then before I knew it, it was time to feed the pups and make dinner. Mom and Mark's evening was relaxing and going to bed early. 

Wednesday~ AC guys were suppose to be here in the morning...they were a no show. That was rescheduled for today in the morning. The new electrician got here at 1 pm. Mark stayed downstairs while Mom was upstairs with the pups. 5 pm came and he was still here. We had to feed the pups while they were in their harnesses so that they didn't get loose. That was fun...not! Mom made dinner, ate dinner and cleaned up while doing the same thing. The electrician said he located the problem, fixed it but would have to come back this morning to finish what he started in the bathroom downstairs. He left at 7 pm. About 10 minutes after he left, the emergency lights came on and something yet again tripped the circuit. I called to let them know and they said they would be out this morning...Thursday. Mark and Mom called it an early night. I slept for crap last night. I had a glass of wine that instead of making me tired, it made me wide awake. I was up every hour on the hour. I finally got up at 6:30 am and started doing the morning routine for the pups.

Thursday...today~ Dogs fed, walked and back inside. Mom did a couple of things in her office. I had to get a box together to bring to the post office and then I needed to print a few things for the weekend. I got done that and took a shower and got ready. I asked Meme if she wanted to go and she said yes. I waited for her for like 20 minutes for her to tell me that she changed her mind. Mom went to the post office and then needed to get gas. Got to the gas station and there were about 15 cars. I waited about 10-15 minutes to get to the pump. I went inside and paid for mine and proceeding to start pumping. I asked what the heck was going on. I guess there was a hack in the pipeline and people are freaking out that there will be a gas shortage so everyone under the sun are trying to fill their tank up. The pump kept shutting off at every $.35 cents and I would have to push a button to get the cashier inside to restart it again. It took Mom 2 hours to pump $5.00 worth of gas. The cars were lined up like crazy. Everyone is trying all at the same time so the pumps are running at a stand still pace. It was crazy. I went to the grocery store after and then home. I walked inside and Meme was sitting there, knitting...just like she always is...there is so much to do in this house but she refuses to help Mom out. She sleeps, sits and knits all day long and it is pissing me off! Anyways....I was told that no one had been here yet...electrician or AC guys. I got right on the phone and called the companies. The AC guys were suppose to be here this morning and then it was switched to 1 pm...it is 2:20 pm and still no one has come. Electricians were supposed to be here this morning. Now the appointment is between 1 - 4pm today. Mom is tired, ugly and I wanted this to be a down day because the next 3 are going to be so busy for us...that is not happening. Looks like it will be a day like yesterday again. They all will be here until God knows how long. At 8 pm though I will tell them that they need to leave and come back either Friday or Monday. This is enough. No one knows what is going on with the electric. Mom is praying that they find the problem today and it gets fixed for good and the right way. The AC units just needs some tweaking and that is it. That won't take long at all to do if they ever get here to do the work. 

So that is what has been going on the last 3 days here. It is a cluster...well you know...Mark and Mom are tired and we just want the stuff fixed. Stay tuned for what is to come with this. Mom and Mark are leaving early in the morning. We will feed the pups, walk them and then come upstairs to get ready and out the door we go. We are meeting our friends at 10 am at the hotel where they are staying and then we are off to start our fun for 3 days!!!! Mom will not be able to write to you for the next 2 -3 days while we are gone. I will try to write on Sunday but it probably will be Monday. I will be able to tell you how it all went and share some pics on here with you. I hope that especially on Saturday...Mom's Bday, you will be sending me signs that I know you are around. That would mean so much to me. The weather is supposed to be cooler as well...low 80's some wind and cloudy and sunny. Perfect and we will take it! Please keep it that way for us. This will make things easier for Mom. Thank you my sweet precious son. 

Mom will light the candle this evening and whisper to you before I fall asleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I am going to end this letter to you as I am not sure when everyone will be getting here and when they do they will be cutting off the power so they can fix whatever they need to. Please know that 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. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Be with Mom over the next 3 days so that I can have fun and just forget about all these issues and problems for a change. Thanks pumpkin. I will write to you again in a couple of days but know that I am thinking of you and talking about you every step of the way. Until Sunday or Monday....good night and sweet dreams later tonight and for the next few nights. I miss you more than words can say.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💚

 

Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom has been super busy today and I have just a few minutes to write before I have to clean up my office and then get the night routine started for the pups and Mark and I. Today has definitely been a shit show of a day! It is definitely a Monday. Everything that could go wrong has....here is what Mom's day has been like:

Up at 6:45 am. Mark and Mom feed the pups, walk them, shower and are ready by 7:50 am. Mark leaves for work. Electrician is here at 8:15 am and says that it is an easy fix and not to worry. Mom explains everything that is going on and show him the circuit breaker panel. He switches a couple wires around and says we are good to go...we have power. He tells Mom that we are set and if we ever go to sell the house we will need someone back here to reverse what he did... hmmm...that didn't sit pretty with Mom so I made a call to someone to get their take on things. My hunch was correct. They said they guy didn't fix a thing and what he did was bypass the situation as an easy fix and that what he did was not to code. It won't pass inspection when we go to sell the house and therefore we would have to have someone come back and reverse what he did but still have the initial problem as nothing was done to get to the bottom of what was making it happen in the 1st place. That is not cool at all. What happened was the electrician took and removed the tripping or ground wire and capped it off. He took a small thin white wire from the left side of the panel and switched it to the top of the breaker box. He said he had to switch it to make it a neutral...whatever that meant. After I spoke to the other person and shared the story...Mom was uncomfortable with it. I called the insurance company and told them what happened. I said I wanted another electric company out here and I was not going to pay the service fee. I am awaiting the call back to what happens next. Mom was told that it could be very dangerous if that circuit gets too warm and over heats. 2nd thing that happened was that the AC guy came out to get the portable unit and checked his techs work from when they installed the units. Guess the men who did the install screwed up some stuff and the guys have to come back out tomorrow to fix their mistakes. 3rd thing... pool filter and new dining room table have not arrived yet and should have by now....4th thing is that I got emails saying that some packages were delivered and that they were at the post office and Meme went and they were not there. I will go check tomorrow to see. Yup it definitely is a Monday like I said.....LOL. Maybe Tuesday will be a better day for us! It is after 4:30 pm and Mark hasn't called to say he was on his way home. I talked to him 2 hours ago and he said he had 2 calls and he would be on his way. He was suppose to be home by 5 pm but I don't think that is going to happen. I think it will be more like 6 pm. Good thing it is leftover night for dinner. It won't take long to heat up. The rest of the night will be about relaxing and going to bed early. Mom has a bunch of errands to run tomorrow before the nail appointment so I will be gone from 10 am until 2:30 pm. A full day out that is for sure. Wednesday and Thursday I am going no where and I am relaxing those 2 days as Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be BUSY but fun! Mom is in need of these 3 days with Mark and friends. I hope you will send me signs that you are with me as well. I will be looking for them my sweet precious son. 

Mom has had a candle burner on and a candle lit today in her office for you. I will light the other one this evening as well for you. I will whisper to you before I drift off to sleep. Have fun tonight and come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will be back tomorrow afternoon with another letter to you for sure.. I need to write every day until Friday as I know I won't write another one until Sunday evening. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Thank you. I miss you more than words can express. 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 has to get going for now and clean this dang office up. It is a mess...ugh! Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams, pumpkin. 

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💚
