No towel, need sleepy

We've arrived—tired and unadjusted still, but we're here! Most days feel like we've been hit by a tornado (at least for me). Our days have been full of taking the entire group of 25 new teachers and their families shopping at the MegaMart (Fred Meyerlike) and the Metro (similar to Costco without the samples). With all this commotion, it has left little time for me (Alyssa) to get in the naps I've grown accustomed to over the summer. This marks our fifth day here, Ken's slept through the entire night twice and looks like he may again this morning, I, on the other hand, have this uncanny knack of waking up at 3:30am and not being able to sleep again until seven for an hour or so nap. It's currently 5:30 and I've already tried doing seven things, but it proves difficult when the rest of the world is still sleeping.
