Dear Daylight Savings Time,
I have made my grievances known in the past. This time, I do not dignify your existence with a blog post.
Or, well, okay, this is one blog post, but after this, I shall only mention you in passing. So there.
Love,
Me
See, the thing I don’t like about daylight savings time is that it doesn’t work. I mean, it might work to save energy. That’s possible. But it doesn’t work. We fall back, we get an “extra hour,” and the kids do not sleep longer. They do not sleep in later. They don’t even really go to bed earlier, because if they went to bed an hour earlier, they’d be going to sleep before Dane even got home from work. And that’s just silly. So I end up being awake later, and up earlier, and the whole thing’s just, you know, not all that fabulous.
I know, I know, we’ll all be adjusted soon enough, and then I can forget about how much I detest daylight savings time until the spring, when we change the clocks and I get to remember all over again. Whoowee. Something to look forward to.
I guess the only good thing to say is that my kids are up earlier for school and it is less stressful getting them out the door. Hopefully this will last.
yeah, this is not my most favoritest week ever. no not at all. why do they do this to me?
My wee barbarians were up at 5:45 this morning. And yes, that WAS a growl you heard…
Mine slept until 6:30, but then were all cranky and “why-are-we-awake”-y. Yeah, that rocked.
5:45! 6:30! harumph. mine were up at 5 AM!!!!! sigh.
I couldn’t agree more! Mine are older, and it STILL messes with their internal time-clocks!
I agree — this madness must stop. I don’t like the clock-time changes one bit. I don’t like it being dark at 5 pm before it needs to be dark then. And the spring time change is worse because I’m always tired in the morning.
Robin, yours just, you know, missed you, and, uh, wanted to have more together time. At 5am. (I’m trying to spin it! C’mon, that could be the reason!)
