My Weekend is Almost Over

First, an explanation of the title:
At 6:30pm tonight, my weekend will be as good as over. Time will fly from that point on. Everyone in our house has spent the past months or so preparing for this weekend and it's going to be a blur. At 6:30 we leave for GCC (my church) to set up chairs and tables, I don't expect to get back until 9:30 or so. By then, I will be in need of and willing to receive some much needed sleep, because at approximately 5:30am my alarm clock will begin its annoying routine. After that it's a game called "How fast Can Everyone Take a Shower, Brush Their Teeth, Eat, and Put a Suit (and for me put on a tie)" I'm expecting the tie part to take the longest. Any s reading this have no idea how hard it is to get those things the right length.
After that the most likely schedule will probably go something like this: (I know I keep putting up schedules, but right now, my life is just on big calendar)

7:00 - Jump into the car as the last person as Dad is just starting to back it out of the garage.
7:45 - Arrive at church and begin the process of introducing myself to people so that I can help them when they need chairs moved
8:00 - Register and get my name tag
8:30 - Meet with the rest of my club for prayer
8:45 - flood into the sanctuary with everyone else for devotions and announcements
9:30 - Head off to watch the first debate round (note: by now my stomach will most likely be complaining)
9:45 - arrive at first debate round (I'll probably watch the team that won the novice division last tournament)
10:45 - after being bored to by stats and arguments concerning illegal aliens and ists and pilot's licenses, check in with Mom for any tasks and if none, head to watch one of our club's JV students
11:00 - Watch a JV (Junior Varsity) IE (Individual Event)
12:15 - LUNCH!!!!
2:00 - (yeah, really long lunch break) watch debate again

Anyway, that just keeps repeating until 8:30 or so, when we will have closing announcements and prayer. After that, I'm going to be on the general clean-up crew. After everyone else has left, my speech coach and her son are going to spend the night at our house (on Friday), so as to save driving time.
Oh, yeah, I forgot. We're going to eat supper sometime AFTER we get home. Hehehe. (My stomach s these things.)

I would give you the schedule for Saturday, too, but I'm really starting to run out of time. So, I'll stop here and give you a review sometime on Sunday night (maybe). But whenever I get the next post up, I will (Lord willing) have pictures along with it).

That's all for now. Hmmm... That explanation was kind of long. O, well.

Milkdud, putting on a tie is not hard, it just takes practice. Guess I'll see you latter this afternoon, at the tournament, and on Sat.

I disagree. Debates can be quite interesting, even if they're rehashed arguments.

Or maybe I just like conflicts.

I dunno.

On ties: never have worn a tie, never plan to. I will go to my wedding in a t-shirt and jeans. :D

Yup. The tie question-I don't ever remember getting the stupid thing right the first time, even if I've tied it 50 times before. Argh. :)

Sean I agree with you on debates I think they are so interesting, but I also like politics.

B.G. and Sean,

I fully agree, watching debates is really fun. I really like flowing them and such.

B.G.: Welcome to my blog. May I ask who you are and how you found "Covered"?
