oh and it did.
i'm feeling the full force of staying up all night with 30 middle and high schoolers last night. the last time i stayed up all night? it must have been in the 90's.
the lock-in kicked off at 9 pm. thankfully, we weren't completely 'locked in' - we spent the first 5 hours playing soccer outside, i stopped every 20 minutes or so to escort an injured player off the field. finding out very quickly that high school boys and junior high girls aren't the ideal mix for sports. after a bloody nose, loss of air, several kicks to the face, and about 20 face plants in the ground, we decided soccer was done for the night.
'underground church' was the next event. the 'christians' hid from the 'romans' until they were found and sent to jail. i sat on a huge couch and watched the jailbirds. at our most ragged point, i escaped into a girls bathroom to do a peel off facial mask - it had the consistency of elmer's glue, smelled like pinapple, and worked like a charm!
as the night/morning wore on, we started to realize something: no yawns, no sleepy eyes, no one eying their pillow or blankets. well, i shouldn't say 'no one'. there were two girdens that were doing all of the above.
now we're home. one of my favorite things in this life is happening in t minus 6 hours. daylight savings is the highlight of my spring.

thanks a lot for blogging today. i really needed things to look forward to today when the rotc robyn sightings became more frequent and i found myself with two new friends that liked to talk about how expensive it was to eat frog legs on a regular basis.
