Woman on Steroids is the true Mad Housewife!

This is so wonderful I cannot tell you!  Not only am I not in pain but it is the "old me" again..well...as long as I don't look in the mirror! LOL!  Energy to boot and I have 42 pills so there are 42 days I can get some real work done around here with renewed strength and energy to burn!  Wonder Woman!  Here I come to save the day! (Actually, I think every woman should have a life-long prescription for steroids.  They shouldn't be wasted on athletes!)
Before I get too far, I want to thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes for me and my grandson, Sam.   They worked!  We are both doing great although the supporting characters are a little weary.  Amy's church and school have been providing family meals which is a true Godsend and it goes on this week too.  Sam fell last week and that was scary as they had to call the hospital.  They drilled out so much of the bone to remove the tumor that until it grows back his leg is very fragile.  He has an orange cast (perfect for Halloween!) but they called the hospital and they told them what to look for in case there was damage after the fall but all seems to be fine.  He is not using a wheelchair but a walker which is much easier to manipulate especially in their little home.  When he fell though he was trying to use the walker and also carry his legos......he has since learned to ask for help and to hold firmly onto the walker!  Whew!  He went back to school today and although his arms are tired he made it through the day and he has "helpers" assigned to help him carry his "stuff".  They weren't sure if he would be able to go because he was on pain medicine that is not allowed in school (narcotic) but he was off of it several days ago so it turned out not to be problem which was good as his parents have used up a lot of sick time between Grayson and now Sam.  See, your prayers REALLY helped!  Thank you SO much!
It was a really nice day today, cool and a little sun.  Enough for me to get outside and close vents, roll up one hose, sweep the porch and sidewalk and straighten up around the outside.

 Fall is definitely "peak" here right now and so pretty.  Rains from Patricia are here now.

 They arrived this afternoon but I was able to get to the store for a few items and these little gems!
 Stuffed portabello mushrooms with cheese and bacon.  They were at the store and I have to eat 3 meals a day now as the pills have to be taken with food.  Actually the steroids give you a bigger appetite so it's not that difficult. LOL!  They were only $4.19 and took only 15 minutes to cook so that was my lunch.  I think these would be easy to make quickly too. 
Delish!

 The ghosts are in the trees but my son did such a good job of trimming them this past summer that I couldn't reach the branches on the second tree so I had to hang the other one on my little hibiscus tree up near the house. LOL!

 The mums are straggly as I forgot to trim them back last fall/spring.....

 I had to show you this picture.....afternoon nap time for all the girls.......from left to right...Nitty, Miss Peeps, Annie and Grace...too funny!  I, on the other hand was busy working.....no nap for me!  But then I'm on steroids too! Ha! Ha!

 I spray painted some branches black today and they're in a purple vase but I can't show you the rest until the Halloween boxes get sent to the grand boys.

 I had to take this picture of the front porch through the door as it had started raining.  Miss Peeps photo bombs every picture she can.

 I have DWTS's tonight so I'll try and get around to visit everyone tomorrow.  Again, thank you to all of you, my great blogging friends...your thoughts and prayers made all the difference!
Happy Trails!
