The Bunch Start School

Noelle loves to be toted around and carried!

We are getting back into the swing of fall, even though it's crazy hot. I am so over summer that I already have started putting up my fall decorations. It feels like fall inside our house. Our brief cold front and subsequent break from insanely hot weather is appreciated. I just wish the high heat would go away. It's got to be close, right? The last 2-3 years we have not hit 100 after August 12 and that makes summer a little more bearable. However, hitting 105+ for over a month and with no foreseeable end makes it seem like FOREVER summer!

T has started back to school, but with A and L not having started yet, he feels a little jaded about it. Even though he knows he will have days off that they won't get, he still resents having to work while they enjoy their days. We're gearing up for birthday week. T's biggest wish....to go eat at a pizza buffet! I don't do buffets ever. It promotes overeating and bacteria growth, but D introduced T to it one day last spring and he just thinks it is the coolest thing ever and has talked about it ever since. He even told us he was having his birthday dinner there in April, right after he first tried it! Since L and I are gluten free and D can't eat any processed foods or a lot of fat because of his pancreatitis, I guess we'll just all go and watch T eat his pizza buffet!😂

L is starting to get really excited to start college on the 23rd. Her books shipped yesterday so she should have them in time for the first day, which A's school NEVER manages to do. She had to have them shipped to my parents house because her school book store kept saying our address was invalid. We finally just gave up and shipped them to my parents since it accepted their address. She is taking 3 classes. She wanted 4, but most were already full. Since she is a new student she had to register last so several classes were already full. She is taking an english class, math class, and a design class. 

A finished her summer class with an A and now gets to enjoy a week off from school before fall classes start. She is getting really antsy about finishing school. She says it feels like it has been forever. I remember that feeling! Your whole life has been school, school, school, and you're ready to be done. It will come sooner than she thinks.

Since D's pancreatitis diagnosis, he has been in to have a scan done to see the extent of it. It took a week to get in to do the scan and so far it has been another week and the doctor still hasn't called about the results. Our nurse practitioner that we loved recently moved out of town so we had to start seeing the only doctor. It takes a month for new patients to get in to see him and our issues with getting him to send orders off, answer calls, and communicate with us has been horrible. Unfortunately, there is no other close option. Yes, we could drive back to Denton, but when we're not feeling well or D just needs to pop in and have him check his blood pressure to get his BP medicine refilled, it is really nice that it is just right in town.  D has really been trying hard to eat right and that combined with the PPI medicine the doctor prescribed, he has been doing a lot better. Not perfect, but better.

The Bunch Start Birthday Week

  Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...

The Bunch Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

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...
