Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
I feel like I am recuperating pretty well from my great adventure although I’m not sure that it’s truly possible to ‘catch up’ from such a severe lack of sleep.
It was H-A-R-D at church yesterday, especially in the 8:30 service. The 11 o’clock service wasn’t quite as tough...probably because I grabbed a cup of coffee between the two.
We enjoyed lunch with Mom and then all three of us had ‘nap’ on the brain when we entered our front door around 2:45. Carmi and Eliana took off for Eliana’s room and I went straight to the recliner. Next thing I knew, my cellphone alarm was beeping like mad at 5:00.
Then last night I was in bed by 9:45 which is 2 hours sooner than usual and I honestly don’t remember my head hitting the pillow.
But you know what? It was all worth it.
Thanks to 21 sponsors, we exceeded my goal of $600. We’ll be able to sponsor a nanny for one year through Half the Sky and I can’t thank you enough.
Now I have a whole year to prepare for the next one.
A Unique Experience
The music is over and the message is preparing to start.
What an incredible 24 hours! I couldn’t possibly pull another stunt like this for quite some time but the blogathon was indeed a unique experience.
Preparing To Start
No time! No time!
The service is preparing to start. Lucky for me, it will be about 10 minutes before I need to be in there so I have a small grace period.

The End Is Going To Be Crazy
Almost Seems Normal
I’m dressed, enjoying my usual breakfast of cereal and catching up with what’s happening around the world at cnn.com.
The morning almost seems normal.
In The Homestretch
We are definitely in the homestretch.
The sun is finally up, the cats are stirring and I need to start getting ready for our church services. If I’ve never fallen sleep in church before, I stand a good chance of breaking that streak this morning.
Gaaah…
