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'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...
