Jet Lagged

Boy are we jet lagged. Our first night home, we arrived late, went to bed, and proceeded to wake up at 4:00AM. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, except that we had a rough day of traveling the day before. When we got home, we hadn’t gotten enough sleep, and felt a bit dazed throughout the day. Napping would have helped, but that would have made sleeping that evening all the more difficult, so we stuck it out. I managed by constantly moving, either by working in the yard (mowing, firewood) or in the kitchen (we made Greek food for lunch and supper)

By the time evening came, we were almost too tired to even eat, but not quite. The goal was to eat and then hit the sack, but going to bed too early would work against us, because then we’d wake up too early and the cycle would begin anew. However, we were tired and irritable.

The kids fell asleep by 7:00, and we weren’t too far behind, but again, this is going to take a few days. Until then, we’ll be waking up before the sun. Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Leslie Collingridge for the pic.
