[Bleep]ing daylight savings time.
I’m crispy. We’re all grumpy at the house because our routine is off. It is 7:01 and there’s a frozen pizza in the oven. Rabbit is pissed off because I put too much shampoo in her hand while she was in the shower (“It’s supposed to be the size of a quarter!“) and PC is pissed at me because I’m irritated with Rabbit. I’m ticked off at PC because he didn’t start anything for dinner while I was finishing up at youth retreat training and had to stop at the store for a frozen pizza.
The circle of life.
Meanwhile, I feel as tired and exhausted as I usually do at 9:00 but my body still thinks it is 6:00 p.m. and the clock says 7:03 now. Fellow blogger Keetha had a memorable quote on her blog yesterday about daylight savings time that perfectly mirrors how I feel about it:
“Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.” – Native American proverb
Isn’t that the truth!! Daylight savings time is so stupid. I’m in a bad mood, too, and I’m freaking tired because we had to serve coffee at church this AM and I got up at 5:45 which was 4:45 the OLD time. Freaking time change!
That should be on a t-shirt.
None of this explains why I am sleepless this morning. But perhaps I’ll get a jump on things so I won’t feel so stressed in the final moments before surrender to going to bed at 9:00 tonight.
Take me back to Arizona where at least they were smart enough to leave the clock alone!
I used to think people who couldn’t adjust to DST were wimps. Now that I’m old, I understand! I had to take an ambien at 2:00 a.m. and now it’s 10:30 a.m. and all I want is 2 more hours of sleep.
My cousin thinks daylight savings time should be adjusted so that we fall back on a Sunday night, and spring ahead on a Friday at 4:00 p.m. LOL.
Bleeping dayight saving time is right. Everytime I look at the clock, I mentally subtract an hour and then sigh heavily. The older I get, the longer it takes me and my sleep to adjust to the time change.
Makes me glad that they don’t mess with the clocks in Africa either. People have enough trouble getting places on time as it is.
