Stephanie the Author...

Okay so I have decided on a whim that I should write a romance novel. I guess since I have read like 40 billion romance novels I figure that I could do it. So I have created a story in my mind and have started the novel. It’s coming along pretty smoothly so far no big road blocks yet but I do figure that I will run into some along the way. I have also discovered that I suck at grammar, so I feel sorry for all of my wonderful relatives that have volunteered to read my book to proof it… sorry guys I suck just a prewarning. So we’ll see how it goes I have a knack for starting things and only getting about half way through them before I abandoned them. It’s a HORRIBLE habit I have so hopefully the passion will continue and it will allow me to finish.

Another exciting event for this weekend is Tait, Lehna, and I are going to travel north to Wisconsin to visit my mom and Terry. I am VERY excited. Mom hasn’t seen Lehna in almost 6 weeks and she’s changed so very much so it will be fun for her to see her.

Lehna still has the dreaded cough and I called her specialist again this week to see if he would like to see her to hopefully prescribe another medication and he prescribed another medication first. It’s a nasal spray to help loosen her congestion in her upper respiratory region, he said that he wants to help treat this upper region and see if this helps her chest cough. Last night we tried her first dose and she didn’t cough but maybe a few times the whole night. I was happy for that but I don’t know if it was for the spray of if her cough just has gotten better. I don’t know who’s to say but it really doesn’t matter as long as her cough goes away… that’s the most important part. So I’ll keep you posted on her progress.

Football this weekend… wow the Boilers did it AGAIN they lost… it was a HEART breaking loss. They were getting the butts beat in the first two quarters THEN they came back to gain the lead in the 3rd quarter and in the first half of the 4th quarter but only to lose it was sad. I went back to the tailgating area hoarse it was horrible. Tait and I had brought our campfire grill and we did end up having hot dogs and smores AND we also had wonderful fajitas they were WONDERFUL. Helen once again out did herself. The fire was nice because as the evening wore on it got pretty cold outside so it was nice to snuggle up to the fire. I told Tait that the next home game I just want to go and tailgate I LOVE tailgating it just so much fun.

On Monday night the Colt’s won Tait and I watched the first few minutes of the game and though that they were going to lose so Tait went to bed not wanting to see both of his teams lose. I did stay up a little longer but I turned the channel. Well Tait was in the bedroom and he did stay up and watch the end of the game and the Colts did pull it off so that was WONDERFUL! Of course my picking for this week was HORRIBLE all of my teams did NOT help me… the double shocker for NFL, for both of us, was the Bears vs. Vikings and of course I picked the Vikings… and of course they lost… then the double shocker for both of us in College I had Michigan vs. Penn State… and I of course picked Penn state and of course THEY LOST so that didn’t help me! So now Tait won both… I’m very sad… of course I did win last week both. So now I have to become the expert masseuse… darn it!

I am kind of going out of order but on Sunday it was a nice relaxing day Tait and I played with Lehna all day and enjoyed not having to do anything. I did have to go to the grocery store but that’s pretty typically for a Sunday afternoon I mean the stuff for lunches does run out. Tait and I were looking at our lawn this weekend and we have been dreading the thought of having to cut it. It’s so incredibly long that I think if we tried to cut it now then it would kill our mower. I was hoping that it would get REALLLLLLY cold so the grass wouldn’t grow anymore but it still seems to be growing strong. So it maybe waist high before we do cut it, and then we’ll have to use the weed whacker!

So this week my goal is to keep up on the laundry and house cleaning so that when we get back on Sunday we won’t have anything to do. Won’t that be nice…? Well I think that’s all I have for this week’s update. I will have lots of pictures from this weekend so don’t worry about that.
Also…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KRIS!
His birthday is on Saturday!
