The Bunch Are Ready For Vacation!

 


First things first: the cat is completely back to normal. She meows and purrs loudly and, unfortunately, is still interested in the laundry room. Her new annoying trait this week is getting on top of my upper cabinets. My kitchen ceiling is irregularly shaped so the cabinets are not able to be flush with the ceiling. We keep our cereal on top of the refrigerator.  I know the cereal is low once the cat can successfully maneuver around them to jump on top of the fridge and then jump on top of the cabinets. I now have random things from around the house on top of my fridge until I go grocery shopping  so she can't get up there. I swear watching her is like watching a toddler.  She is always getting into things. She has some weird fascination with q-tips. We literally keep them locked up and yet somehow she still finds them to eat! We also recently saved her from choking on Easter grass. The cat is NOT normal. She also tries to eat needles from the sewing basket. She is very sweet, but can be quite a handful to watch.

We are taking L on her first senior trip in June. Because of several different reasons, instead of one big two week trip, like A had  when we went to Chicago, she is having 1 big week long trip and 2 short trips for her senior trip. She requested that her long trip be to the beach. She wasn't keen on the long drive to Pensacola, even though the beaches are absolutely stunning, but instead chose Galveston, which saves about 7 hours of driving time. We will be spending a week down there. I am not sure what all we will do, but feel fairly certain a large part will be at the beach, though our resort has a lazy river, pool, miniature golf, tennis, basketball, and several other fun things we can do there. D and I are not big beach people. D in particular hates the heat and sunshine, but the girls love the beach for some reason. I am just super excited to go on our first real trip in almost two years! We have done weekend camping at nearby state parks, which I love, but now we get to really get out and explore something new. 

A found her first gray hair this week! She actually saved it to show everyone. At 18 she is NOT the youngest in our family to find their first gray hair. T has that record. He found his first TWO gray hairs at 8 years old. C found his first one at 14. D and I are way past counting how many we have! L is the only one who hasn't found one yet.

A's first gray hair.

She saved it to show everyone and was genuinely surprised it was curly and coarse.😂

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 Celebrate T's 16th Birthday

  Three Birthdays in 10 days I cannot believe the baby of the family is 16! Actually, I can't believe they are all as old as they are. C will be 31 this year, A turns 21 tomorrow, L is 18, and little baby T is 16! It has been a wonderful ride and I was very blessed to be able to spend 24/7 with my kids while they were little. I have wonderful memories of all the times we shared. While the last year has been the hardest of our lives, it's been nice to see us all rally together and we have become even more appreciative of each other. T will just randomly stop to hug us and tell us he loves us.🥰 A is so very helpful and thoughtful and C is great about calling and keeping us updated on how they're doing way out in Bonham. I love my kids! We have decided to give pickleball a try as a family. Considering we've never even watched a game, our first lesson should be interesting!  He has gotten so good at guitar! My parents celebrate our birthdays every year by treating us to di...
