Fall Back!
Fall back, spring forward, I'm definitely not as bouncy as I used to be. Ok, so you're supposed to change the clocks back an hour this past Sunday morning at 2AM. Now how many of us actually stay up until 2 o'clock to set all the clocks back? Some of us will set them back before we go to bed and others will wait until we get up in the morning. Of course, the trick it to know who did what, and that everyone in the house is on the same page. Otherwise it can get quite confusing as to the true time. Yeah, I like the idea of an extra hour, but what do I really do with it. And then you have those clocks that set themselves ahead and back, only they did it last week or someother time that's in their original configuration before the dates to change were changed yet again. Saturday night found me fighting sleep at my normal bedtime. I always figure I'll split the difference and try to hang in the extra half hour and then go to bed. I didn't quite make it. And then Sunday morning I was up an hour early, not only because my brain is still on the old time but because the sun is shining and the crows are cawing outside my window a whole hour earlier. If you have babies you're really in a bind. When mine were little, I used to try to trick them with the half hour scenario. Ha, didn't fool them either and they pretty much stayed on the their old time schedule. As they got older I found that a few minutes here and a few minutes there worked far better than trying to switch their time clock in larger increments. Daylight Savings Time, Standard Time, who of you know which one we're really on? What I do know is that I'll be grumpy and cranky for the next few weeks. I'd really rather adjust the whole by that half hour I keep talking about and call the whole thing off!
