The Bunch Do Mother's Day

Great day!

I love my flowers!
I want to wish ALL the mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day. I, personally, do not really agree with the holiday, but we celebrate it anyway on a very low level for the kids. It is not that I do not think we shouldn't recognize all that mothers do, it's just I think we should do nice things periodically for those who are important to us throughout the year. It is for this same reason that D and I generally do not celebrate our anniversary. We might do dinner, but that is it and that doesn't even happen every year. I in no way feel slighted or upset at this arrangement at all. In fact, I love it. It takes the stress out of the "holiday" and we just get to enjoy the day together, which in our case makes it just like every other day together. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband, who does have the uncanny ability to grate on my last nerve, but I cannot imagine that there is anyone more loving, devoted, and perfect for me than him. My kids are great too. Sure, we have our bad days, but overall most of our days are good ones. My kids and husband  do wonderful little things for me all the time, which is why I feel no need to celebrate Mother's day or an anniversary. I get tons of them all year long instead of on just one day. I have more pictures than I could count that have been custom made just for me. I love when the kids bring me their art work and say, "Mommy, look what I made for you". My husband periodically surprises me with my favorite coffee. It is little things like that which make me so grateful God has blessed me with the family I have.  He knows best! So, to all you mothers, and non mothers alike, have a great day. God Bless!

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all.  We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which   was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...

The Bunch Say Goodbye

  Aunt P picked a lovely cemetery. It was so beautiful and peaceful. For the past 8 years or so we have helped our Aunt P.  We have had numerous visits and conversations over the years, not to mention dinners and root beer floats. We have watched her physical health decline while her mental health was still sharp as tack. Sadly, the last month of her life she had started to have several moments where she didn't know what was going on. We had numerous conversations about her death with her and we are very happy in knowing that she finally has the relief she wanted. The past year in particular was VERY hard on her and she needed help more. D and I would visit almost every Wednesday and Saturday, plus whenever she called for help. It was nice to talk to her. She was witty, smart, knew the answer to just about anything, and did a wonderful job of making you feel special and loved. I once told her that I would really miss our chats when she was gone...I will. I really enjoyed getti...
