January Wrapped up with a Bang


My previous post was eaten by my computer, so I’m just going to combine weekends.

 

We “celebrated” MLK weekend with Ben’s parents visiting.  We celebrated by looking all over Clarksville, TN for 9 mm ammo for my conceal carry class that I was going to need.  Thanks Obama.  Oh and of course all we heard about was the inauguration, blah blah blah.  4 more years of pain and torture.  I’ve already had enough.

 

But, Ben’s parents came over Saturday morning.  I had Bunco Friday night and Ben didn’t get back from Phoenix until late on Friday so they came over Saturday morning.

 

Over all a pretty uneventful weekend.  Made our way to Springfield, TN to eat at the Depot which was very small but very good.  Church and the ammo hunt on Sunday, did shoot a magazine in the 9 mm with mom for practice before our conceal carry class on the 26th.  I did fine, I have a laser, it’s pretty dummy proof!

 

Monday it was back to work for me, back to Sikeston for Ben’s parents and off to Indianapolis for the week for Ben.  He’s never home this time of year!

 

Several threats of ice the past 2 weeks, thankfully none of it amounted to much. 

 

I started coming down with a cold on Wednesday and have been fairly miserable since.  Today (Monday) I’m finally feeling better, but yesterday was pretty low key.

 

Ben got back from Indianapolis early because of them impending ice/snow they were calling for, so he got in Thursday night, so he got to be home Friday and he and Bean spent Friday morning together instead of her going to Tiffany’s since she really hasn’t seen him much the past 2 weeks.

 

I got all my stuff ready for the conceal carry class on Saturday morning, it was going to be a long day!

 

Ben, Mallory and I met Gerald up at the community room at 7 am to set up the projector and computer and to put the final touches on everything.  I was feeling awful but pushed through the best I could.  We had 2 of the 40 who were out sick, so the class was to be 38 women, still a great class!

 

I finally got to feeling better, my meds kicked in, Ben and Mallory headed off to McDonald’s for some breakfast before he had to drop her off at Aunt Sharon’s so he could go catch his flight to Kansas City where he was going to be for the next few days.

 

Our class went well, the movie was the worst part, just like everyone said but Gerald made the rest of the class fun.

 

We all headed out to his house where his range was so we could do the shooting portion and his wife had coffee, tea and sausage balls ready for us.

 

Everyone was most worried about the shooting part but we all did well, even the couple who had never even shot a gun before, he made sure to really work with them and get them comfortable.  He really is a great teacher!

 

So, in about 3-4 months, because of the back log, we should finally get our documents back to get our license! 

 

After class I headed over to Aunt Sharon’s to pick up Bean, visited with them for a while and then we just came home a crashed.

 

Sunday I had a million things I needed to do, none of which I felt like doing but mom called and offered to watch Mallory so I could go get part of what I needed done in Clarksville for Tiffany’s shower this next weekend and then they would head over around 5 and we’d meet for dinner.

 

So I got to hit up Target and Babies R Us alone, it’s amazing how much easier shopping is that way!

 

So finally I’m feeling better from my cold, hopefully tomorrow will be pretty much 100%, tonight I’m tackling the disaster of a house and trying to get the final stuff done for the baby shower.

 

Ben get’s back Tuesday night, so we will actually see him for 2 days before me, Mallory and Mom turn around and head to Ohio, lol.

 

That’s just how we roll.
