4 hours sleep + 4 cups wine...

And that was only the first sedder. Somehow, a few more hours of sleep and one less cup of wine (we weren't done yet) on the following night was still enough to set me off - though I did have a little help frommbarr on that one... and my brother kicking me under the table wasn't exactly going to make things better...
Not my most reverent hallel.
The seddarim were good - and blessedly uneventful, as those of you who recall last year's Pesach happenings will understand. (Granted, that was mostly the last days of Pesach, but still...)
Funny, I think I began this LJ about a year ago now - Pesach was one of my first entries.
Anyway, I was not the only exhausted one at the first sedder. I think that must have been the most pathetic Nirtza ever - none of us had energy to sing. I think my sister captured the mood perfectly when, at 11:30, as we were nearing the very end, she asked, in a very plaintive tone, "Do we have to sing chad gadya?" The rest of us definitely shared her sentiment, but sing it we did, though not with much spirit.
Even on the second night, we were tired enough to lose track of which verse we were up to in half the songs - who knows one, chad gadya, etc.
But they were still wonderful seddarim, and the three days flew by - maybe because I spent so much time napping.
Hooray for time off - even if I feel like there is *nothing* I can eat for a week...
