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'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...
