The Bunch Are Moving!

It has been a long crazy summer. We put in long hours getting the house ready, looking for our new house, and staying gone so our house could be shown.  I vividly remember now why I was never moving again. The constant stress is almost too much. Yep, we will be in our "new" house until the kids cart us down the street to the assisted living building.  We are a lot less stressed now. We are on our 2nd buyer and have passed the option period so we should be good to go.  Our first buyer was a new home owner and was nervous about the cracks in our walls, even though two inspectors said it was completely normal for a house this age and there were no exterior cracks.  However, it still made him "nervous". Luckily, the new buyers are not new home owners and accepted their inspector's opinion and we are moving!

We have been slowly going through and packing everything. I even found my warranty info in the attic for my Pentium 4 processor! Needless to say, that was thrown out, along with a hundred cd cases and other things that technology has now deemed useless.

The kids are finishing their last week of school this week before we pack it up to move and then head out on our big trip. The days move so slowly, but the hours in them so fast. It feels like it is taking forever, but at the same time it is coming too quickly and I won't have time to get everything done.  We did manage to squeeze a party in for two of the kids: T turned 8 and A is 13. I also had a birthday, but we don't need to discuss the age on that one!
We are about to be without Internet until we get back from our trip so it will be awhile until post again, but I will show pics of the new house and our fun trip next time!

We went out for Hibachi on my bday...yummy!

Kids even got Maisy in on the bday action.

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...
