To Dye or Not To Dye--That is the Question!

              I have always loved change. I rearrange furniture on a consistent whim, I constantly go to new places, I have everything from a Bachelor's in Psychology to a valid real estate sales person license, and I have experimented with just about every color of hair dye that is out there. However, I do those things because I want to. None of it has been a necessity, at least not up until this point. I am currently at the crossroads of my adult life. Where is all this coming from? It originated from a single gray hair over a year ago. I had my inevitable realization of my own mortality after discovering it, but I have to be honest, I really did not see this as much of a problem, yet. I had my small heart attack, pulled it out with tweezers, and went on my way. However, pulling the hair apparently angered it and several more grew back in its place. So, I pulled more. This has gone and on. Now, over a year later, I am realizing I can't spend 10 minutes pulling gray hairs EVERY MORNING. I have super thick hair, but even I notice it is starting to become a lot thinner. So back to the struggle at hand. Do I fight the aging or let the grays creep in? On one hand, letting them creep in would be like befriending the enemy. On the other hand, dying my hair because I HAVE to makes it more of a chore than doing it for fun. Do I really need more chores in my life? I have yet to decide, but if you see me in a new color you will know which route I have taken.
        On another note, the bowling we took the kids to last time probably would have been fun IF it was just our kids. Instead, this was an end of the year party for our home school group and who knew that 50 kids, most under the age of 8, bowling together could be problematic. Yeah, I should have seen it coming, However, silly me thought that parents would actually pay attention to what the little ones were doing. This was NOT the case. The parents just talked and the kids followed no kind of order and were EVERYWHERE. We left after about an hour and a half and went to Bass Pro, just for some peace and quiet. Next time, we will take a smaller group or just our kids.
     Today, we are doing the Sea Life Aquarium adventure. I'll let you know how it goes.

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 Enjoy Easter

The Bunch ready to head to church to celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful Easter. The kids and I dyed eggs together. T made a fairly intricate Guns N Roses logo egg while A and I just enjoyed making pretty eggs. We have discovered that using food coloring makes for way brighter eggs than using the horrible Easter egg dye kits from the store. I participated in the egg hunt with the kids this year. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard as we all ran around trying to beat each other. Afterwards, we had our traditional egg gravy and went to church. We enjoyed a ham dinner and watched HOP. It was a great day. T worked a long time on this egg. It was by far the most intricate egg he has ever done. He did a fantastic job! T actually fell down (you can tell by grass on his knee), but he wasn't going to lose no matter what! We had so much fun and laughter! It was great!! All smiles on our way to church. It was a little early still for A. The week has been pretty good. Better than I though...

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...
