I was so looking forward to participating in the Dewey's 24 hour readathon this weekend .. except the entire family got knocked out this week by a horrible stomach bug :( N and the boys suffered the worst of it, but I'm now feeling the effects as well. We're all hobbling towards health, but I think it'll be slow progress. There is no chance of taking part in the readathon, but perhaps I'll have some energy for some cheerleading later on in the day.
For now, I'm keeping my feet up and a book handy. With bookmarks in case I pass out. And I've just picked up two books from my original readathon pile, Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson and What My Girlfriend Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones. I'll be thinking of you all. Good luck!
That really stinks! Hope you all feel better soon!

ReplyDeleteI hate to admit it but there have been days I have wished I was just sick so I could stay home and read and sleep and read and sleep all day.
