The Bunch Move C and H

A is completely loving her two weeks of free time.

Pretty much all of this past week was spent helping C and H move from their house in Carrollton to their new house in Bonham. We all worked really hard and after two full days of helping, and sweating profusely, I am happy to say that they are all moved. Their new house is almost 1000 sq ft smaller so they did A LOT of downsizing. Their new house is a new build and super cute. They still have a lot of unpacking to do, but our part is all over as of today. We will be spending the next day recovering. Moving gets harder as you get older. C did two extra days of moving by himself and I have no idea how he is still standing! I am just exhausted and greatly looking forward to putting my feet up and watching Murdoch Mysteries ( thanks Aunt Pat for sharing). 

We did manage to get about an inch of rain this week. Unfortunately, it did not really make dent in the drought, but it was very appreciated. 

Unfortunately, the storm knocked our power out for three hours. We just made up games to keep us entertained. It did get a bit stuffy though without any air circulation.

T made the 14u A team for basketball this season and is very excited to be playing with larger boys, though he is still the tallest, but at least it isn't by a lot. We also started back to school this week. This is L's last year in high school and T's first. My babies are all growing up. L is super excited that her best friend is having her 16th birthday at Great Wolf Lodge this week. They are going to have so much fun watching movies, playing the wand game ( a wand opens drawers and helps you find clues to solve a mystery) and playing at the water park. Other than helping her brother move, A is taking complete advantage of her time off before school  and work start in a week. She is spending her time napping and reading. I raised a 65 year old.

Have a great week everyone! I will hopefully have a more interesting week this week and have more to talk about next 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...
