Day 2218. Last night I told the kids again how much I needed to sleep in this morning and pleaded with them to let me sleep but to no avail. Once again it was loud, and they came to me several times, no matter what I said and asked of them. I told them I'd go to a hotel next weekend to get one night's sleep.

Day 2217. Week 3 of school is over, and I haven't written all week. The main reason is that I have to go to bed earlier as the alarm goes off at 6:15 am. Still, I've had a headache from being so very tired these past two days. I now aim to go to bed at 11 pm, but it takes me a while to fall asleep, and sometimes it's later than 11 pm.

Day 2210. Week 2 of school is over. They learned the letter "i" in the first week, and "o" this past week, and they all still love school. On Wednesday I went to the gym after dropping Sammy off at school, then I went home to work. I picked Sammy up from school at 1:30 pm, and had a student at 2:30 pm. Randy and the other kids got home just after I had started teaching.
