Daylight savings - what?

Hmmm, daylight savings (spring forward, fall BACK) is not nearly as much fun as it used to be! Somehow I had grand visions of "tricking" the little people in our house into an extra hour of sleep - how would they know afterall, they can't tell time? NOT SO LUCKY.

It seems that our sleep is way out of whack since Saturday nights "gain of an hour". C & I went out on Saturday night and got home around midnight - which means I was extra happy to be able to set the clock back an hour and pretend that it was only 11pm. WOW - 5am rolled around rather quickly! Needless to say, the boys woke up at 5am on the dot, wondering why it was not yet time to get up...then the nap schedule got tweaked and by 5pm last night, nobody knew which end was up. And I too was beyond tired - which meant that there were 3 of us melting down through dinner time. I had no idea how I was going to keep the kids awake and entertained for 2 full hours - but we managed.

By 6:30, the bath tub was running and we all were on our way to getting a good nights sleep. Until 2:30 am when Cole thought it was time to get up - aye...we have some adjusting to do this week I guess! Long gone are the days of enjoying that extra hour!
