The Bunch Quarantine Week 4 ....or is it 9872?




I don't think time has ever moved so slowly! Just about 4 weeks ago we entered into this crazy uncertain time, not knowing what the next month  would bring. Well, here we are. Week 4 in isolation and I still haven't found toilet paper, our adventures to the grocery store reveals that a lot of people are still out wandering around, and everyone is about to go crazy from being cooped up. I completely agree with the President, we need to start reopening the economy and let people slowly get back to work. We CANNOT shutter the economy for months on end. People need to use their own sense of judgement on how they want to protect their families and loved ones. I think the forced closure of most of the nation for such an extended period of time is starting to step on the freedoms that we are allowed as Americans. This is not some Communist country where government gets to dictate our lives. I understand this disease has devastated a few cities in the US, but several aren't touched at all. Let the people decide on their own if they want to stay home or how they want to protect themselves. I actually agreed with councilman John Wiley Price......never thought I would say that. The cure can't be worse than the disease 😷.
Ok. Done with the rant, but agreeing with John Wiley Price about anything was the straw that broke the camel's back 🐪.
I saw a school bus on my way to pick up lunch today and my first thought wasn't that life was resuming, but what the heck happened! I checked the local school district's website to see if school started back and no they are still "distance learning". I watched the midday news. Nope nothing more than NY's governor giving another whining session about what he thinks failed him. News flash this was unprecedented. You can't over stock on things you're not sure you will need. It could have been some sort of skin eating rash and then those 200,000 ventilators would just be taking up space. Huh, I guess I wasn't done with my rant. I might go crazy if this goes on too much longer. Maybe I will feel better if I find toilet paper!
Modeling our hard work

It took us 7 hours to finish these!

The kids have been really good through all of this. They have flown kites, played games, cooked, watched movies, practiced sports, and made face masks together. D has been doing most all of the shopping for me since he has to be out in public anyways so the kids and I really go nowhere. I am a planner and not being able to plan or having my plans cancelled/changed is very frustrating. For example, the dermatologist can't see patients so we can do a virtual appt. We have never done that before and I really don't care to learn how now so we pushed back a real visit until next month. Ahhhh! I am ready to get back to normal even if that means always wearing face masks.
L had fun with her kite. She was out there for about an hour.

My little hummingbird is back!! And waiting patiently for me to refill his food.

Having some fun with the grandparents

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 Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

  Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party.  I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day.  I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
