Blogathon # 42: Try again next year?

Time: 7:02am Island Time (5:32am EST)

The sun is up, but the winds are very cold… so I closed the windows so that Ethan and everyone inside can keep warm. According to my weather bug, it’s only 17 degrees, and that’s not too high, but not too low either. My shoulders are sore as are my hands again, but that was to be expected. It was the same last time but they’ll get better after a day or two. For now though, my arse is sore as are my legs, but every now and then I get and walk around to keep the blood flowing, I recommend everyone else do the same.

It hasn’t been exactly the easiest night to blog, so next year I’ll have to seriously re-evaluate what to do or if I will do that again at all. I think I might make plans to have Leah and the kids pay a visit to her mom and family the next time like she was supposed to this year. I love them all with all my heart, but their presence made this event ten times tougher to get through. Ethan has been really good, which gives me hope that Jonathan will do the same when he gets older.

But for now I have this blogathon to finish, and we’re in the home stretch. We’re almost at the end everyone! To quit now would be the worst… we’re all so close. Just seven more entries to go… we can do it!
