I know that we need to allow children to make their own mistakes and learn from them, but I am obviously having trouble learning from my own!!!! I went to Walmart about 11:30 Friday night to get the final book in the Twilight Saga. Excited to read, I stayed up until 3:30. Then, I got up at 6:30 so that Charlie and I could be ready for her to go horseback riding with a friend. We got home at about 9:30 and shawn let me nap from about 10:30-2:00- when I started getting ready for the Relay for Life. We had team pictures, opening exercises and several other things to do before I went home and got ready for walking and put the kids to bed. (Exhausted from our trip to the Mall of America the day before, everyone but Emily and I fell asleep infront of a movie) I walked about 2.7 miles from 11-midnight and spent about 25 minutes in jail (my team mates kept paying for me to go- they thought it was funny.....) and went home to shower (it was very sticky out) and try to sleep. Of course I really had trouble sleeping and was REALLY tired when Vanessa showed up about 4:45 so we could walk again. We finished at 7:00 a.m. ( and walked 8.8 miles in 2 hours!!!!) and found out that we raised $79,000. Not bad for our little town!!!
Still, I fell alseep at church, napped ALL afternoon, and did a total of almost 13 miles (I would have hit 1/2 a marathon if I hadn't gone to jail.)...... Kudos to everyone who came- Renee for being our chair, Vanessa for walking a 1/2 marathon with a baby in tow- , David for walking a whole marathon, Sue for walking and relighting the luminaries all night long, the Asays for walking with 4 kids and the Flatts for walking and being so cheerful. Also a big nasty tththththhttppppp to the Asays, Andersons, and Flatts for throwing me in jail twice. You're all going down next year!!!!
