Need some sleep

It was a LONG night last night – Ashley wouldn’t sleep. She woke up around 3am and didn’t go back to sleep at all. I finally just said to play in her room so I could go back to sleep and she played until morning. Anthony went in around 5:30 to try and get her back to sleep but she refused. UGH! She was going to start school today, but without any sleep, we decided that would be a bad idea. She has been told that she can start tomorrow if she sleeps tonight. I hope and pray that works since I need a full nights sleep sometime soon. Liz was also up at 3:00 – so I made her and Ashley some sandwiches. Liz played for about an hour and then she went back down until 7 JAngie came over this morning and we hung out talking while the kiddos played for a little while. We then took a walk and went to a local park where the kids played for a bit in the sand and on the playground equipment. I had to get them out of the house, keeping them busy and letting them use some energy. We ate lunch at a little café right next to the park. It was pretty good Chinese food and they even had a menu in English – pretty rare for a little café here. They even brought us a fork instead of chopsticks, which is kind of annoying since I would have liked to have used chopsticks – just kind of get used to using them here. We came back to the apartment and Angie headed home so Joseph could nap. I got Liz down right away, she was tired and ready for nap, but Ashley is a different story. She still refused to sleep! After watching a movie though, she was so exhausted that she finally crashed. It’s 4:30pm and I can’t wake her up, poor baby, she’s just so tired and so am I. I love traveling and visiting home, but this jet lag thing sucks. I get so tired, I’m just dizzy. I thought yesterday that we were having an earthquake, I got so dizzy from being tired and out of whack, strange what your body will do
