The Bunch Barely Remember Austin, Was It Really Only Last Week?!?!

What a crazy long and tiring week! And for once it was completely unbasketball related.... mostly. First off, D has been ill for the past few months, but it really came to a head while we were in Austin. Luckily, he already had a specialist appointment for the Monday after we got back (we had scheduled this appointment 6 weeks out because that was when the doctor had his first available time). We aren't completely sure what exactly is going on with him since D was in so much pain during the exam that the doctor could not complete it. He just referred D over to a surgeon and we meet with him this week. I have been busy doing a lot at the house that needed catching up on. Even just going away for a few days creates a lot to catch up on in the horse pen. It already feels like last weekend was so long ago.

T played his final regular season game this week and while we have played this team before with no issues, this time the team was crazy. Not nightmare team crazy, but close. Their coach was EJECTED during the 3rd quarter and 4 players fouled out! The game lasted over an hour and a half and was just NOT what I needed this week. T played awesome though! It was one of his best games( not scoring wise, but overall) and when he decided to take the charge foul and flatten one of the other team's players who had been unnecessarily rough to some of our team, I have to say I was a little proud. Don't mess with the big guy! It was petty of me, but that game was just a lot to take in and I feel like they got their Just Desserts.

We did have a little fun this week with a Valentines Day Party. We took the day off of school (but made it up on Saturday) , played minute to win it games, and enjoyed some homemade pizza. It was a nice escape for a few hours.

Trying to pick up metal nuts with chopsticks is harder than you would think!

Even T struggled.

We also had to balance dice on a popsicle stick.

D won the chopstick challenge.

I will let everyone know what the surgeon says this week. T also has regionals this week in Frisco. It promises to be another long week.

I think I may have just taught my kids to play beer pong 🤣

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...
