Finally?

I think my wife has finally finished her novel. I know for a fact that she has submitted a couple dozen submissions because I mailed them for her. Now it is just a waiting game for a publisher to want to publish it. She will continue to submit her manuscript until that happens which I think won't be that long. I'm very excited for her.

This past weekend we made another trip to work on the house in Wa. We managed to get alot of primer put on ceilings and most walls. Old flooring got ripped up and now ready for new underlayment. One more weekend visit and we should be ready to start with the finish painting. I'll keep you posted on progress.

Miranda is in her last week of cross country running. This saturday is her district meet. She ran varsity all year and now has developed an injury that will prevent her from running varsity for districts. She is a little bummed but I keep reassuring her that it is not her fault for being injured. Doing her best is what is important and I think she is going way beyond the call of duty considering she is hurt. Most kids wouldn't even run.

Sam is still autistic and home with me this morning as she has developed a head cold. You wouldn't think she was sick with all her energy but that is not a guide to go by with her. She has been doing well in school this year and has suprised many staff that work with her. We are all very proud of her.

Well that is about it for our exciting lives. It always seems as if we aren't doing much and sometimes I feel that we should do more. But when I take a moment to reflect on the days progressions and what we are dealing with as a whole, I realize that our plates are overflowing and we are trying to gobble the whole thing at one sitting. Maybe we should go on a diet!
