L Goes Toothless!!

My first tooth
L looses another tooth.
L has been losing her teeth right and left lately. I was really proud of myself for the last one though. Just ask D. I DO NOT PULL TEETH! EVER! However, this week it was unavoidable. L had thrown her fit to her dad the night before when he had tried to pull her tooth so he had sent her to bed. Fast forward to lunch the next day and over a special treat of pizza...and you guessed it: disaster struck. L looked at her crust and finger and noticed a lot of blood on them. I saw her tooth was completely red and immediately took her away from the drapes and upholstery and lead her to the bathroom. I did what any good mom would do.....I told L she had to pull it out immediately so we could stop the bleeding. She cried, I cried, and we both realized that was in fact NOT going to happen. Since I knew that time was of the essence, I did what I could no longer avoid, I yelled down the hall to my 8 year old daughter to hurry and come pull her sister's tooth. I believe the exact response was "Mom, I'm sorry, but I am not going to do that." At this point, I am becoming concerned because I am not entirely sure that the 3 year old can do it and I am running out of kids to ask since the 18 year old is at work. He would have done it. I decided that daddy really wasn't that far. We could pile in the car chase down his police cruiser and he could do it. Daddy didn't answer his phone. Just like some criminal to ruin my back up to my back up plan. I am slowly realizing it is going to have to be me. I grab a wash cloth, close my eyes, and give it a little pull. NOTHING! Didn't daddy say it was so loose he would barely have to touch it? Guess what, it wasn't that loose. I open my eyes, reposition the cloth, close my eyes again and pull HARD. IT WAS SO GROSS. I felt each strand snap one by one. The tooth came out and I was so excited I started screaming. Too bad L didn't realize that it was a happy I really did it scream. All she saw was mommy with a blood stain cloth screaming hysterically at her. So she joined in my hysterical screaming for a completely different reason. I finally managed to get out "I did it, I did it!!!" and her response was priceless. She immediately stopped wailing, clapped her hands, and said, "Yeah, Mommy." I am very proud of my  L's tooth. A asked me later, "so now are you going to pull teeth?" Let me think..........ABSOLUTELY NOT! However, I did learn I can pull a tooth in a life or death situation. Does she really have 2 more loose?

The Bunch Have A Hard Week

This was actually part of T's present. He had been begging D to do it.😂 It only stayed around a short while. After throwing such a fun and memorable birthday party for T at the lake with his basketball buddies, we have decided to part ways with the basketball organization. I cannot get past that evil man being anywhere near us or people I care about. I did make sure to give everyone a fair warning about the evil man and they can now hopefully make an informed decision about their level of involvement with him. I don't think T's too bothered by it. He didn't want to play this year anyways, but I had originally really wanted him to be around his friends. I am not sure what we will do instead, but I know he is happy to NOT have to run. He hates running. I am basically just feeling completely defeated. I trust no one and have a complete LACK of faith in police officers and lawyers. I know my husband is a good officer, but that's about it and the count is on until June ...

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Celebrate T's 16th Birthday

  Three Birthdays in 10 days I cannot believe the baby of the family is 16! Actually, I can't believe they are all as old as they are. C will be 31 this year, A turns 21 tomorrow, L is 18, and little baby T is 16! It has been a wonderful ride and I was very blessed to be able to spend 24/7 with my kids while they were little. I have wonderful memories of all the times we shared. While the last year has been the hardest of our lives, it's been nice to see us all rally together and we have become even more appreciative of each other. T will just randomly stop to hug us and tell us he loves us.🥰 A is so very helpful and thoughtful and C is great about calling and keeping us updated on how they're doing way out in Bonham. I love my kids! We have decided to give pickleball a try as a family. Considering we've never even watched a game, our first lesson should be interesting!  He has gotten so good at guitar! My parents celebrate our birthdays every year by treating us to di...
