On Our Own

jet lag

It sucks. That's all I really need to say about that, but I'll just keep writing anyway. I can't seem to sleep at night; all day I'm exhausted. Stuart had to wake me up at 10:30 a.m. today. Me! The girl who can't seem to sleep past sun-up slept past breakfast. Crazy. And now here it is, one o'clock in the morning and I don't feel the slightest bit sleepy.

Of course this may have to do with my mind working a million miles an hour trying to figure out what to do first on my enormous, mental to-do list. So many things to do, but I can't get the motivation. I keep thinking about all my friends/students in Thanh Hoa and how I let them down unexpectantly and how their lives are so much more difficult now, yet my children are so happy to be here. Two important parts of my life clashing so hard.

There's much to do, but I just can't get to it. I think I will resort to an actual "To Do" list, written out in ink, tomorrow and force myself to accomplish something.

Hey don't feel bad about the "to do" list, us "old folks" have to do it for several years now. You will just get in practice . :) :) :)

ps: and the no sleep at night is another thing :) :) :)

Teresa,
Jet lag bites. Don't freak yourself out because you feel groggy. I felt like that for at least a full week after our return (or was that coming home as a mother of three instead of two?)Lee seemed to have some sort of jet lag for a few weeks.
At any rate, wish I could help you with the job search. I am more certain than you are that you will find something great.
