Continued...

I thought I was going to pass out sooner than that, so I figured around 6 pm. So I kept myself awake for as-long as I could. After awhile I was wide awake. The surprising thing is that I didn't get to sleep till about 11 pm. And I still couldn't fall asleep right away. I even woke up in the middle of the night and it took me awhile before I fell back asleep.

Yesterday my mom had to take my sister to an appointment, so I had to watch 4 kids till they got back. The kids' ages range from 1 year to 9. The one I had to really watch was the 1 year old. The others, I had to make sure they weren't fighting with each other. My nephew (3) and my niece (I think she's 4/5) kept fighting with each other all day. My nephew and didn't want to share any of his toys, so everytime she would try and play with them, he would snatch it from her and she would try and get it back so they kept fighting back and forth. Of course he didn't ask to play with her toys, so she would fight to get them back from him, and that kept going back and forth. The 1 year old was mostly in his play pen, I gave him some toys and he was alright for awhile. He started crying, I thought he was hungry so I gave him some milk, he didn't want it. I tried feeding him those gerber foods, he didn't want it. I picked he up, he calmed down, but was still fussy. After awhile he fell asleep, but with the other kids fighting, he woke up. luckily my mom came back, and she took over. I asked my mom to take me to get a haircut, so she took me and my nephew, cause my sister wanted him to get a haircut. Then we go to this game shop a few stores down and look around. I'm just trying to let as much time pass so I could stay awake. I was able to keep myself awake till about 8, I was feeling really tired, and was going to pass out. I didn't mind, tho, thats what I wanted. Then my brother came by to pick up his kids, and I started talking to him for awhile.

Then my other brother wanted me to go and put airport cards (WIFI) into my neice's (age 9)new computer, and my other brother's computer. Well I put the card in my neices, and he tried getting his older Airport base to see the Airport extreme card, and it didn't work, so for about an hour we're trying to get it to work, then I looked at the time, and it was getting close to 11 pm. I wasn't really tired at all, seeing as I didn't get that much sleep. But I figured why stay awake any longer since I have to wake up early for the Blogathon.

My plan did and didn't work out. I wanted to fall asleep early and wake up early, well early for me is anytime before 1 am. But my plan was to get as much sleep as I could, but that didn't work out cause I thought I was going to sleep around 8/9 pm. And I didn't fall asleep till after 11.

I know I'll be able to make it the full 24, I've done the blogathon in 2003 and the Project-Blog last year. And I did the Project-Blog on less sleep than I got today.
