The Bunch Get Ready to Camp and C Gets Yet Another Ear Infection

D was able to fix the pop up enough to, hopefully, be able to use it for a few more years.  Some of the wood is starting to show signs of age/rot, but hopefully after our weekend of updates we have stopped further progression or at least greatly slowed it. We do have our Scout Family camping trip coming up and what better timing could it be than to get a double ear infection. Yep, 18 squealing girls, a fever, and ear pain that feels like someone stabbing my ear drum with a knife, what could be better? I have ALWAYS been prone to ear infections, which is why now I have no idea I have one until it is just a "horrible, horrible infection" (doctors words not mine). The nerves have been damaged from all the infections so until it reaches a horrible throbbing raging infection, I have no idea. Normal kids (don't see a lot of adults in the waiting room) know way before I do that they are in pain. My first clue I have one is fever sets in. Since moving to the country, they have become more prevalent and most likely tubes will be on the way soon. I have already had them twice so really what's once more. However, since I try to see the positive in it, I have been enjoying You Tube.

When we were looking at buying an rv I found a couple that traveled around and blogged about their Full Time rving experience, while I currently feel like death, I decided to see what they were up to. Low and behold, after 6 years of full timing it, they decided to sail around the world in a sailboat, with no knowledge of sailing and with their two cats. If you have never seen/heard of Gone with the Wynns look them up. They are living a traveler's dream. I never thought I would want sail, but after watching all their fantastic adventures I might change my mind. D just shakes his head, but he knows if I really want to, it will happen. If I can fix that inner ear issue, it might just happen....though probably just for a few months. I mean who wants to be on water ALL the time and the kids would need to be gone because there would be no escaping their whining in close quarters surrounded by the ocean!

I also enjoyed watching another travel blog called Keep Your Daydream. They are traveling with their 3 kids. I wanted it noted that none of these people are in a pop up. I feel like we should get extra credit for rving for a month in the pop up. Now granted we pretty much only roughed it at the KOA, but still 5 people and a medium sized super crazy dog, it was a challenge. Thank God for free wifi and now we have a tv/dvd player in the camper so we will really be set for whenever we dare to do a month on the east coast.

Sorry no pics this time. Apparently when I am sick I quit taking pictures. Nothing interesting has been happening anyways! I guess I could take a picture of me lying miserably under my blanket watching You Tube, but that's about as interesting as it has been this week.

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 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...
