Argh -- jetlag and the small child

I. am. so. tired.

The kids woke at 4:30 yesterday and didn't nap until 2 p.m. And then slept until 6 (only because John and I fell asleep at 3 and didn't set an alarm. Doh). And they didn't fall asleep again until midnight despite taking a subway for the first time, having dinner out, walking to the big grocery store, thoroughly enjoying the small, very fast carts in the grocery store, and bringing many groceries home. And then they only slept until 4 a.m. This is not good. At all.

They are loving it aside from being cranky and overtired. Well, Livie hates the food. She actually used the word hate to describe how she feels about formerly fine foods (rice, bananas, orange juice, chicken, yogurt). Jack is disappointed there were no mini bagels although he likes the raisin nut buns from the store. Katie loves it all.

As for me and John. We just need sleep.

It was so good to hear your voices! The tiredness and sensory overload will pass--remember those first weeks after the girls were born and you didn't think there'd ever be "normal" in your life again. It came and it will again. Try to sleep. Grannie kisses to all. Love, Grannie Annie
