Day 1481. This morning Sammy was the first one up at 7:15, and Emmy woke up right away as well. The alarm went off at 7:30 am. We had some breakfast, then got everyone ready to leave the house at 8:45. We walked the just over 15 minutes to the auditorium. There was a huge line to get in because of security.

Day 1480. Last night was a lot better, thank God; I didn't wake up constantly because of this cold bothering me. I had set an alarm for 7 am, and it actually woke us all up. Well, it woke up Sammy. Tammy and Emmy continued sleeping for a while, and surprisingly it was Emmy who woke up last. We had some breakfast and left the house at 8:15.

Day 1479. I had to set my alarm for 7 am this morning, but the boys were up before then anyway. And I was up constantly during the night, mainly because of this cold that's been making me miserable, partly also because of the kids. So I was really tired this morning, but I needed to pack everything up before teaching from 8 to 10 am.
