Dear Daylight Savings Time,

You still suck. My children (all four of them!) have woken up earlier and earlier every day since the time change. And then they nap at odd hours, or don’t nap at all, or do nap when they shouldn’t, which means bedtimes are off in all directions.

By the time they finally get to sleep at night, I barely have time or energy to wash my hair before falling into bed myself, and thus have I gone to bed with wet hair and woken up with weird poufs and frizz several days in the last week. Apparently Daylight Savings is not content simply to mess with my sleep patterns, but must also leave me with weird hair.

All this being so, I do hereby petition that in future, families with small children ought to be exempt from any and all time changes.

Yours annoyedly,

Melissa
