reasons I now hate daylight savings


When you are growing up daylight savings time is GREAT, well at least in the fall it is. You get to stay up an hour later, you get to sleep in an extra hour, and it's pretty cool to remind everyone what time it REALLY is at least for the first few days. After you have kids, it is not so much fun anymore...


1. they are ready for bed at 6:30 because it's really 7:30...can you put them to bed at 6:30? no

2. they start crying at 6am because it really 7 and time for breakfast...can you ignore them and stay in bed just little longer? no (unless you want to be tortured by your spouse poking you every 30 seconds to get up and stop the crying)

3. nobody cares what time it REALLY is, so you just say it to yourself- but how much fun is that?

4. you have to reset all the clocks...they don't magically change themselves anymore...and there is like 50 of them!!!

5. now it gets dark sooo early and I can't take Siena for our daily bike ride before dinner:(


I can't wait to spring forward!!!!!
