Un-update for me, a HUGE update for CLEAN WATER!!

how could anyone get anything done with these guys floating around!?! :)

Okay, you are wondering what I am up to...well not much. (but now I will be) I have only read 70 pages since my last update (that was 4 hours ago!). I only read that much because I needed to come home and hang out with the boys, give them baths and get them off to bed. They should be in a coma by now, so we are good :)

BUT did you see that Trish completed another book for the clean water cause!!! YAY! Do you know what that means!?!?!?! that means that we have already conquered the goal I put in. I didn't know what to put. I thought $100.00 would be high....but YAY!!!!! You all are so awesome!
I am going to UP the STAKES :) for Clean Water OOOOH, does that sound scary?? Not a huge deal, but I want your comments to count as well! So for each comment I get during the read-a-thon I am going to donate $.10 (ten cents) to Living Water International . Currently I have gotten 90 comments so that is: $9.00 more!!! SO KEEP 'EM COMING!
Do you want to join in on this?? You could do $.10 per comment on your blog durring the read-a-thon, or you can match mine for the comments on my blog. Or, you could come up with something I haven't even thought of...and let me know!! :) See how fun and creative this can be!!

I have now earned $93.00 for clean water worldwide!!!
Plus the comments, 89 comments at $.10 each adds $9.00!
Plus trish is adding in $5 for every book she finishes!! That brings the clean water total to:
$112.00 so far!

Where will the dinero ($) go? It will go to an organization I have become quite passionate about. I will be giving it to Living Water International an amazing organization funding the building of wells all over the world in developing nations.
