Daylight Savings Time

Spring ahead, Fall back.

Daylight Savings Time... did you turn your clocks ahead? If you're curious as to the "why" of DST, you can check out this page on DST, too.

From the second link:

The main purpose of Daylight Saving Time (called "Summer Time" in many places in the world) is to make better use of daylight. We change our clocks during the summer months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. Countries have different change dates.

I, of coarse, completely spaced on the whole thing, going to bed last night relishing the idea of sleeping in late today. Set the old alarm for 10, just in case I slept too late (I've got a couple home visits to do later). I don't know what got in my little head to think that my children would ever let me sleep until 10.

I awoke to the sound of a chair being dragged across the kitchen floor. When you're downstairs, the noises going on upstairs can sound like a natural disaster taking place. Then there was Carlito's loud voice (he whispers in a shout), carrying on casual conversation. Telephone ringing. One of the twins coming downstairs to shuffle through CDs for a game... Frustrated I woke, noting it was 9 and I'd been trying to sleep for over an hour so I must have awoken at 8. How wonderful to realize that not only had I been awoken much earlier than I had like, I'd also lost an hour in the process.

Wah.

Frank was late for work this morning, too. He said his alarm (his cell phone set to wake him) went off, he looked at the digital clock, wondered what was up, and went back to sleep for an hour. We're so hip to the game.

Sorry you got a late start. I woke up at 6:30 thought well that's waaaay to early to get the girls up for 8:30 church. Went back to sleep and of course woke up at 8:00 waaaay to late to get them both up and spit shined and to church by 8:30.

Cest la Vie.
