\tJet lag is a horrible, horrible thing. Especially if you live with a four year old.<\/p>\n
\tThe past two nights, I’ve gotten her to bed by 9pm.<\/p>\n
\tThe past two nights, she’s gotten up around 3 to get into my bed… and then flopped around unable to go back to sleep for 2 or 3 hours.<\/p>\n
\tWaking her up to go to school today felt downright cruel. But it wasn’t as if I wasn’t tired, too! She cried basically from the time I woke her up until the time we got into the car. Mixed in with the sobs was \u0093sorry, Mommy, I don’t want you to be mad at me\u0094 which only made me feel like a bigger jerk. But sleeping in is not going to make the jet lag go away.<\/p>\n
\tOnce we got to school, she was fine. Kissed me and hugged me goodbye and headed off with her friends. When I picked her up, she was in a great mood. But by the time her friend who’d come over to play in our snow had to go (partially because it was already DARK outside!) she dissolved into tears. <\/p>\n
\tI got her into bed at 8:45. I convinced her that it’s time to get back to our routine and I refused to lay down with her. She fell asleep all on her own. Now if only she sleeps all night long!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
