The Bunch Keep Dealing With Life

Happy birthday to my first baby and my granddaughter!!

After 2 weeks at an inpatient mental health facility (after being transferred there by medical transport from the emergency room while strapped to a gurney yelling and being combative), L has been released into our care, The kids are a little apprehensive about her being here since her behavior is so out of character and erratic. I can't blame them. We're on edge too. She has an outpatient group she is going to M-F from 9-3 for the next few weeks. Unfortunately, it's about 40 minutes from our house so just taking her and picking her up takes 2.5 hours.  As time goes by and we assist the detective in finding out what happened, we are more and more astounded by what is happening. This was planned. L was a pawn and she has been significantly groomed/ brainwashed. I can't talk too much about it, but there is a crazy family at our church(now former church) who I want to destroy. They are the epitome of evil and I cannot wait until they get their just desserts. In fact, we're slapping a civil lawsuit on top of any criminal charges they face. Don't mess with me and mine. I really hope I never run into these people in person around town because I will throttle them and the assault charge would be worth it. L has moments of being herself, but overall she is just filled with hate and evil.  I might never know what happened while she was with this "family" for 3 weeks, but thanks her texts I know exactly what led up to them stealing my child and it's appalling. I only have about 5 months to get her back to herself and I am not sure that's enough time. While it would be sad,if when she turns 18 she is still toxic we will have to let her go and cut her out of our lives. 

The kids are doing better than expected. Other than being terrified this crazy guy is going to show up at our house, they seem to be behaving fairly normal. T is doing well in school and basketball season starts next week with a tournament. They both like that they can check in on what's going on at the house by checking the cameras. A usually checks in on us everyday at lunch to see what we're doing. The cameras have audio so we can talk back and forth. It helps though I am still upset it had to come to this. T has been really hitting the weights and is getting super strong. His team scrimmages the varsity at almost every practice and they complain because they just can't move him. I wish the rest of the team would work on lifting weights. They are on the small side. T has goals though. He wants to start doing power lifting competitions. He thinks he wants to quit playing basketball, but that is such a great way to spend time with friends doing something healthy and pure. After L's debacle I will never trust church student groups again particularly choir.... I might never trust the church again. 

A is almost done with her second to last semester in college and is so ready to be done with school....though she chose a career where she has to do continuing education credits to keep her license current so she'll always have to do school 😂 A just got her car back AGAIN from the auto body shop. I really hope she can at least go a whole year before it hails again! 

L did ok out in public, but brought her own food to the restaurant. 

B opening our gift. Her shower steamers smelled so good! I might have to get some.

It's always nice when we get to visit with C. I wish we lived closer so we could see him more.

T being T! He is such a sweet goofball.

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...
