The Bunch Are Tired Of Summer!

 

They love each other. 💗

The insanely hot, long summer can end! I think everyone can agree that the South is ready for fall! Things have been busy here. Having only one child still in secondary school has been different. School seems to move so much faster since T doesn't have to wait for me to finish doing something for anybody else first. Most of the time it's just me, T, and D. It reminds me of when it was just me, D, and C (our eldest). Life has come full circle. Speaking of C, we are going to go spend a few nights in Bonham in a couple of weeks to celebrate his and our granddaughter's birthdays. We always enjoy our visits with them, especially since we don't get to see them very often. I can't believe C turns 30 this year!!! Time goes by so fast. I am never sure how each day can seem so long, but at the same time I feel like I barely blink and a decade has passed. 

T has been busy with basketball. The craziness of basketball season starts the first weekend in November and will go through the end of January. Once February gets here is slows way down and after mid March it's over. I will say that this year's schedule is to my liking. Most of our games (not tournaments) are within 20 minutes of our house! T still thinks he doesn't want to play next year, but we'll see. Basketball keeps him busy, but I am open to him doing something else. 

We went to go get T a echo stress, but they only sent us somewhere that could do an echo so now we have to go to South lake in November to get the echo stress done.

We went to go get Mr. Chopsticks afterwards. It was so yummy!

T banged heads with a teammate in practice so we had to come home early to put ice on it. I am going to get some instant cold packs to keep in his bag in case he needs ice again.

Fortunately, he seems fine and we got the swelling under control. He just has pretty colors around his eye. 

A is so close to graduating from college. She is both excited and a little nervous about it. She asked me the other day what she is suppose to do after college. I told her that that was the beauty of it, she could do whatever she wants! I think she plans to stay at the clinic she currently works at and hopefully can save up for a down payment on a home. D and I think when he retires from the force in about 5 years that we will sell our house and buy a plot of land to divide up among the kids so they can build their houses somewhere. We have been looking into modular homes as a possible option. We have fun watching videos of the new models together and imagining how she would use the space.

D has been doing so much better. He is learning his new normal and for the most part has been adhering to it. He has cut out caffeine, alcohol, spicy food, and really watches his portion sizes. I haven't heard him complain about pancreatitis pain in awhile so it seems to be working, plus he also takes a PPI that helps. 

I hope everyone has a good week ( us included)!

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 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...
