Why is my pace slowing down? Hmmm. Perhaps because I was interrupted so many times. I paid the girl one dollar to clean her room to buy me less interruptions!
Well, I've reached my fairly lackluster goal of 3 hours of reading. It seems like not enough. I think I won't be updating until later; our church is having a babysitting fundraiser for the high schoolers and naturally we want to take advantage of, I mean support their efforts and go out for dinner! I'll do some cheerleading now!

I think don't worry about your pace and how much time you have to read. You're having fun and that's what counts!
Wow Vincenzi writes looooong books so I'm impressed you're taking one on at readathon. Paying the children to go somewhere else seems like a good investment :)
Enjoy your dinner!
I think 3 hours of reading is a great goal! Have fun going out with your hubby tonight.
As long as you had fun, that's all that counts. Great job!
Yes, you must support their efforts and have fun with the kiddies!! Keep having fun!!
Sounds like you are having fun, though, and that is all that matters! Have fun!
You've reached your goal: good for you!! :D
I can honestly say that I've read as much as possible in between all the interruptions but it's so hard to do!
Hang in there. I just drank a Diet Dr. Pepper so my second wind has kicked in and the kids are about to hit the sack so I am looking forward to finally sitting down without interruptions.
