I hate spring forward

[Anonymous]

Kids almost missed the bus this morning. Am brewing my pot of coffee to take to work in a thermos. Usually I am out the door with the kids, but today....

Me too. Getting DD up this morning was terrible.

Should've practiced over the weekend

The first day was yesterday.

Prepping??? That'd be almost like cheating!

That would not demonstrate your body's natural abilities to handle DST.

I dislike it too. Although this was the first year is didn't send me into a downward spiral. Not sure what I did differently.

I really don't understand why it has the effect it does - it seems like an hour wouldn't make a difference but apparently our bio-rhythems get really off. I was listening to the news this morning and apparently the week after daylight savings there is a large increase in heart attacks, car accidents, etc.

I was pretty wiped out yesterday and this morning sucked (though I have two young kids and a full time job and I'm breastfeeding so mornings are not that great anyway!). Good news is it stays lighter later, and it means spring is almost here!

My daughter didn't get the memo. She was up at 6:30 am (aka 5:30 am) this morning. What the...? I usually have to drag her out of bed at 7:15 so I don't get it!!!

Sucks especially for high school kids. It was finally light going to school at 7 a.m. Now it's back to near darkness for the trip and waking in total darkness.

I hate the lack of sleep, but love getting home from work when it's still light outside, especially because my commute involves a lot of walking with my kids. I wish we could just get rid of the 'fall back' and keep it like this year round.

I like it. It means I can get home from work and still go for a walk around the neighborhood before it gets dark.

I too, love it. I just wish we could stop doing the whole thing...

I don't love Monday of this week (the sleepy feeling) but I do love that the days fly by this week, while we are all not used to the time change!

That plus a 3 hour plane flight back from the west coast and my internal clock is all screwed up.

Geez, what a bunch of whiners. It's only an hour. Let me guess, you don't travel internationally much.

I like this part, too. But my body finds the time change difficult for a few days. And my son? He was a complete monster this morning when I woke him up. Poor thing.
