A Funeral, A few birthdays, Father's Day, and well nothing went as planned

As I mentioned in my last post we lost Ben's grandmother, Grandma Lilly, last weekend.  We headed over to MO to attend the funeral on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Grandma had a good life, she was 87 and is no longer suffering, in a better place, so it was more of a celebration of life than time to mourn.

We also got to see cousins and family that, well, we just don't get to see very often other than events like this.

Girl's have taken over the Werner family.  When Ben was growing up it was like 7 boys and 1 girl and now the Great Grandkids are all girls and 1 boy I think!!

Mallory had a ball running around, most literally, with her cousins and meeting other family.

Here's her and Grammy at the lunch after the funeral.

Thursday was back to work and Zumba for me, Ben had to head to Chicago after the funeral, so it was just me with Bean until Friday night when he got back.

I woke up at 2:30 am on Friday morning when a stomach bug hit me.  That pretty much kept me totally down all day Friday.  And to make it worse, Mallory had to be home with me because Tiffany and her family had headed to the beach on Friday (although come to find out she got sick Friday am as well and called into the dr for some meds so they could get on the road, just later than planned) and Mom was working and Ben was out of town. 

So me with a nasty virus trying to somewhat tame a 2 year old.  needless to say the house looked like a war zone because as long as it wasn't something that was going to hurt her, I really didn't care what she did or what she pulled out.

I was SOOOOO ready for Ben to get home Friday night so he could take over watching her and guess what, she fell asleep in her chair about 10 minutes before he got home and didn't wake up until the next morning!  He got off easy.

Saturday was my birthday and I had big plans, go get my bike, then go to Hot Yoga, spend the afternoon at the pool and then go with Ben to the Black Horse to eat.  Yeah, well, only half that happened.

I did feel better Saturday morning, but I knew I wasn't in any condition for Hot Yoga, so we slept in and I went and got my bike.  Oh and I found out that now Mom had the virus, great.
 
Got my bike, yeah, now I just have to feel well enough to ride it!



Came home and then after lunch, although I still wasn't hungry, Bean and I went to the pool for a couple hours.

Since mom was now sick and I was in no place to enjoy a good meal and beer at the Black Horse, I told Ben he could play in the glow ball tornament instead.  Bean and I rode around with him in the golf cart for about 3 holes.


Bean and I headed home and watched Cars on tv and crashed.

Oh, and I found out Ben's mom was also sick on Friday, so far it's hit 4.

Now 5, Sunday, and Dad's got it.  So scratch all the Birthday/Father's Day plans for Sunday night.  We will just plan on doing it all next weekend.

So now I'm just enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon watching it rain.  I feel a little more crummy today than yesterday so I'm just trying to take it easy.

Here's a few other pictures.
