An event to remember

Today I am back at work recovering from a very long weekend. I got home on Thursday afternoon and started getting ready for the Crawford County annual relay for life. It is a benefit for cancer. I was asked to set up and run PA services for the whole of the event. I was going to stay up late Thursday night so I could sleep in on Friday, so I could be prepared to stay up all night on Friday. I failed to sleep in but succeeded in staying up till 4 am on Thursday night into Friday. So to say the least, I started Friday with 3-4 hours of sleep. We got the gear to the site at about 1pm. Jess and I set most of it up and then stayed there at the field until 6am Saturday morning. My kids decided to join me there and they had fun. Shelden lasted until about 2am then fell asleep. I had set up an air mattress in the back of the trailer for them to crash in. Molly lasted till about 2-2:30, but Sammy made it all night long! He was dancing, goofing off and playing with his friend Ben all night. It was so funny to watch them gyrate and wiggle around to the music. We got home around 6:15 am. We hit the pillows and were out like a light. The rest of the weekend I was tired, but all went well. This week I will be going through the camper getting it ready for the upcoming trip to Colorado. Bye fir now.. - DJ
