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, she didn't collect enough tissue for the biopsy so I have to get that part of it done again. I am waiting a couple months for that. The kids and D were so helpful! They all really stepped up and took over all the chores since I am restricted from lifting anything over 5 lbs.

The kids had fun playing games together while they took care of me.

Since T  basically had to stay home with me all week and baby sit me, after church on Sunday he wanted to go out to lunch with his girlfriend and then go play some basketball with his friends which was fine with us. He had earned his fun time. Unfortunately, on the way to play basketball with his friends there was a quarter panel from a car, probably leftover from a previous wreck, that blew in front of him and he had to slam on the brakes and swerve to avoid hitting it. Unfortunately, both swerving and slamming on the brakes at the same time caused the car to go into a skid. He left the two lane rural road went through a ditch, that unfortunately used railroad ties as a retainer wall, narrowly missed hitting a billboard sign, pushed a commercial dumpster about 5 ft before coming to a stop with the air bags deployed and a wheel not attached. D got a call from a very scared and upset kid. He was about 30 minutes away so it took D a bit to get to him. After, he got there, they had to wait for a wrecker for almost two hours. Thankfully, he was in the Volvo and walked away with nothing more than a little stiffness and an airbag burn. If he would have been in D's little commuter car, this most likely would have had a much different outcome. The Volvo wrapped him in a nice little safe cocoon. While this means in the short term we only have D's little mirage as our only vehicle, which I count towards our run of back luck, I also see it as a blessing because we could have lost so much more. T was very shaken up and has not wanted to drive since. We have dropped him off and picked him up at all his functions. I think he just needs some time to process what happened. We have good insurance coverage so eventually everything will be taken care of. C says he is going to send an exorcist to our house to expel the demon! 😂 I just know there will be no Sam's trips for awhile.

Hopefully, things turn around this next week! I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter.

The wheel completely detached from whatever it's usually attached to. Our brand new tires are shredded.

The askew wheel. Overall it doesn't look too bad. No crumpled front or back , but the airbags, front end damage, and wheel issue totals it out.

Did I mention the dumpster was blue? Poor Volvo. 😭 It was good to us. I wish it hadn't been totaled out. It would be a lot easier to be able to get it fixed and not have to look for a replacement.

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 Visit Family

  We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things.  We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...

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...
