jet lag with kids

Ugh, ten hours of jet lag with two small children. What could I possibly have done to deserve this. Oh yeah, I had kids!

It's now been two nights in the past two weeks in change with essentially 1-2 hours sleep, and two more nights with less than four hours sleep (including daytime naps). The kids are a cranky, exhausted mess during the day and want to talk and do things at 03:00. Brptptpt.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
