The Bunch Start Birthday Week

 

Happy birthday to me!

The first birthday up is mine. It was a little different this year. Don't misunderstand me, I was still 24, but L was super busy with school and A had to work. We decided to meet A for lunch at Schlotzchy's by her work. I hadn't eaten there in well over a decade and wanted to try it. It wasn't as good as I remembered, but it was really fun to see A in the middle of the day. She wanted to make it a monthly thing, which will be fun, but probably not feasible during basketball season. L did make time to go out to lunch with us and even made me a chocolate zucchini gluten free cake plus some biscotti.🥰 She has been so crazy swamped with school and I am afraid she is going to burn out. She seems to be getting good grades though and really loves her design art class. She has a ton of projects in it, but she really likes doing stuff like that so it's fun for her. It's just VERY time consuming. I also relaxed and watched a Hallmark movie. I love me some Hallmark! I know it's predictable and the ending will be happy. 

A just started school and so far seems to be doing ok. Her school is just frustrating because they NEVER send the books out until AFTER school starts so she is missing her books for the first week every time, which is very frustrating! 

T has had a cough for the past two weeks and is tired of it. The doctor doesn't want to do antibiotics because there isn't an infection. It's allergy related so he has been taking an allergy pill every day plus steroids and his nebulizer. At least the cough sounds productive now, but I need to put a sign on him that says "Allergies, NOT COVID." We've been getting some looks.😂 We also finally got into a pediatric cardiologist to do his echo stress test. Yay! We should know definitively afterwards whether his Pectus is causing any issues that need to be addressed or if it still is so mild that it shouldn't cause any issues. We had a tournament this past weekend with back to back intense games and he had no problems, but the coach also played everyone exactly half of each game (broken into alternating quarters), which when the games count and they really need him, he'll play most of the game. The coach told the other boys that T had the best move of the game, plus he also scored the first points of either team. He may also have led in scoring. I know he scored a lot, but since we don't keep stats on pre-season stuff I am not 100% sure. He was definitely in the top two if he wasn't the offensive leader. 

My parents always take us out to dinner to celebrate the three of our birthdays.

My Daddy turns 80 this year and they still get around really well 

A was super happy to meet us all for lunch.💗

T had a bright idea💡.....😂

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...
