Dreaded time change

Last Saturday we changed our clocks back one hour to end Daylight Saving Time. It was not too long ago, the annual “fall back” of daylight saving time — when clocks are set back an hour — was a little gift that plopped into my life once every year.

Now, I dread it as the time villain that messes with my life.

Did you know that starting in 2007, clocks following the new North American standard for Daylight Saving Time are to be turned forward by one hour on the second Sunday in March and turned back on the first Sunday of November. This gains us almost another month of Daylight Saving Time.

I must admit though that I have been an hour early or late at least once in my life because I hadn't changed my clocks correctly. Honestly, I don't really understand the purpose of the whole time change twice every year. In fact, my internal clock is having a difficult time adjusting back to standard time. But until we either stay with one or the other, I guess I'll just have to conform.

Blessings

Or we could all run on Krystle time. It's the "I'll get there when I get there" principal of thinking. :)

it is a lot easier getting out of bed in the morning when it is light outside...and nicer at night cause you can go to bed earlier because it is dark out....( can you tell I am not getting enough sleep these days...LOL)
