Ok Now Mostly Exhausted

After getting home last night at around 9pm (the Mudflap voiceover recording session was excruciating, as I knew it would be) I finished up some paperwork, made some phone calls, ate a quick 1/2 sandwich (with all this running around I am not having time to eat much so I am actually down a couple pounds, yay) and collapsed into bed. But at 1am my phone rang; it was S calling me from downstairs where he said he was deathly ill and indeed, when I went downstairs to check he was lying face down in the hallway, 1/2 in the bathroom, sick with stomach flu and/or food poisoning! So off I go to the Kroger for Sprite, Immodium, and Kaopectate. It was a long night of fetching Sprite for him and eventually, helping him upstairs where he could lie on the floor, a wastebasket by his head in case he could not make it to the bathroom. I slept probably around 3 hours.

And up way too early this morning (6 am) to go pick up my dad and take him to the school so we could get the new Mudflap voiceovers onto the trailer and adjust a few other minor things. But after 3 hours of this I could not take it anymore and made the executive decision to just "print it." Still, the trailer is better and I am even more pleased with it now!

I found way too many gray hairs on my head this morning. But this is still a way fun project. I have an appt. with the chief for next Tuesday to watch the trailer and discuss fundraising ideas. My TFPF app's are almost done and will be ready to mail tomorrow. I am picking up my dad after work tonight and he will give me 10 copies of the trailer on DVD. On Monday I will mail out my fiscal sponsorship application, and the $50 application fee is thanks to my mom who has given me my 1st donation to the project!

And this weekend I can finally RELAX a little, breathe, read, and enjoy the baby's 7th birthday on Sunday. At least for a little while until I get back to trying to figure out ways to raise the rest of the $ for my now $26,000+ film.

Luckily I have some time to shop this weekend. Anything in particular the baby needs?
