My opinion on Daylight Savings....
I do not like Daylight Savings because I it makes me feel out of sorts. This morning, I missed waking up to the shimmering sunlight, that warmed my face minutes before my alarm clock honked. I missed a hour of sleep yesterday, so not quite feeling myself since I am drowsy. While at work, I stayed late, not on purpose, but I thought it was much earlier than I thought, because of the sun still shining at 5:30. My husband, late from work, because "he probably thinks it's much earlier, like what I thought earlier," I told my kids. Stepping in at 6:45 laughing, my husband told me just that.
This Daylight Savings is quite the trickster.
Traveled the world as an expat in 2010 and 2011, only to return back to the United States, a stronger and a more global person. Trying to balance having a full-time job as a teacher, being a mom of 2 active kids, and being a wife. Learned so much about the world and different cultures, will I ever feel comfortable again in my own culture?
I also missed the hour of sleep yesterday, but am loving the extra hour of sunlight in the evening. I just feels more like spring today!

I am always such a downer about DST, but this spring, I decided to focus on feeling happier that we get an extra hour of daylight, instead of my usually whining about losing that hour of sleep. It actually worked today-we'll see if i go downhill as the week goes on!

ReplyDeleteIt's always wonky for a bit. I agree. Even the kids seemed groggy today. good luck tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteI agree with you! I cannot stand it ("they" say "extra hour"); I say I lost an hour! Today is was dark again in the morning, and tonight it feels like midnight even though it's only 8:30 pm. I haven't even started reading blogs yet! Down with DST, I say!
ReplyDeleteI get it! My daughter's sleep has been off since we sprung forward. She woke up at 5 a.m. the past two mornings. (I can't make heads or tails of why she woke up earlier.)
