The Bunch Have Fun In The Snow And T Gets His License!

  We were super excited when it first started falling! So as predicted we managed to get about 7.5" of snow starting first thing in the morning on the day T was scheduled to take his driving test. He absolutely refused to cancel it though. He said if they would still let him that he would take his test in the snow! Of course, we got the notification of his test being cancelled around 12:30 pm. His test was at 3:00 pm. Honestly, I was kind of surprised that they waited that long to cancel it. I was super worried that we would have to go online and reschedule it, which would have taken quite awhile. I miss the days of just going up there, waiting in line for the day, and getting what you needed to get done finished on whatever day you decided to go. Now, you need to know months in advance what your schedule is. It's annoying. Luckily, since they cancelled on us, this particular branch of the DPS emailed us directly to reschedule and we got to skip the waiting. Therefore, on a be...

The Bunch Finish Winter Holiday And Get Back to Normal

  Noelle is ready for the cold snap. The Bunch have put the holidays behind us and are really excited for the new year! The Christmas tree came down on the 26th of December, but not because I am excited for Christmas to be over or anything, but because Noelle would not stay out of the tree! She tried to use it as a hiding spot and let me tell you, the branches are NOT designed to hold up a 10# cat! They start sagging and making my tree look like there are huge holes in it. It's so frustrating! She also knocks off the ornaments and tries to eat the plastic needles. I thought MiMi would be the issue since she's a kitten and it's her first Christmas, but she actually did really well.  She let me know up front that putting my grandma's hand crocheted popcorn strands up would be an issue so I sadly left them off this year and she did great. Since Axl has decided his nighttime duty is to keep the kitties in line when Noelle would get up to her Christmas tree antics during the...

The Bunch Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

The Bunch Go See Christmas Lights & Go With C To The Emergency Room

 These past few weeks have been a little crazy. A few weeks ago C went to the emergency room because he thought he was having a heart attack. He had been complaining about an irregular heart beat for a couple months, but this time it not only landed him in the emergency room, but also admitted him to the hospital. The cardiologist had said if he was 60 and not 31 they would have put a pacemaker in immediately and called it a day, but since he is so young he wanted him to go to an electrophysiologist to see if there were any other viable options. He had to wear a heart monitor for a month, only to be told that they want another 2 weeks of a monitor with him not on any medication to get a more accurate reading and see if the meds were causing his highs to be better, but his lows to be way lower than they actually were. He, of course, has had a few incidents since then, but on the night we were going to meet him and H to go eat and look at Christmas lights he had another pretty major ...
