Elapsed Time 00:00

Here we go ...

I rolled out of bed when my alarm went off at 5:45. I've now got my contacts on, but I haven't had a shower yet and I'm wearing my pajamas. It's very dark outside, and everyone else in the house is still asleep. I certainly would be sleeping myself at this hour on a Saturday morning if today weren't the read-a-thon.

First up for me will be continuing with Teach with the Heart by Erin Gruwell, which I started earlier this month. After a few chapters, I'll get a little bit of breakfast.

Good luck to all the other read-a-thon participants, and a big thanks to Dewey and her co-hosts, the cheerleaders, and all the other helpers! (If you're just stopping by and want to know more about what's happening, check out our host Dewey's first post of the event here.)
