Jet-Lag

The trip to the States was good and enjoyable. Will talk abt it later.

1 October, 2.40am
Hubby crashed into the bedroom like a big clumsy baboon. The ruckus he created was enough to wake even the dead.

3.00am
8 year old daughter whispered ;"Mummy did you hear that noise? It is coming from my tummy."
"No honey, try to sleep..." I mumbled.
1 minute later, "Mummy, it is really loud, here put your hand here on my tummy... hear that?"
" Oh alright, I 'll fix you something to eat"
I stumbled out of bed with her scrambling after me.....

3.35am
"Let us try to get some sleep now ok?" I said.
We dragged ourselves back to bed, but she can't sleep.
"I think I am suffering from jet-lag mum." she announced very brightly.
I rubbed some essential oils on her and after 20mins she was fast asleep. Jet-lag? No she didn't have it.
Me??? Ya, I, saya, me, tossed around for the next few hours. So, was this jet-lag?  I, the sleep anywhere and everywhere type of person, for the first time in my entire 40+ years can't sleep!!!! Scream!!!

4.20am
Peeped at the clock.....oh my...blanked my mind.... did slow deep breathing....

5.00am
Still deep breathing away....

5.30am
In.... 1...2...3.... alamak!

5.45am
I think I finally doze off...

6.00am
"Mummy!!! I am very hot, can make air-con colder?"
....Ah....!!!!! Scream!!

9.00am
Writing this blog after I have been up and about since, doing hundred and one things... take her to school, read the papers, breakfast on the table for the in-laws.....

Will try to stay awake the whole day and go to bed at 9.00pm... good luck to me!!!
