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 Start Birthday Week

  Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...

The Bunch Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

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...
