Many Clocks to change

With 8 plus clocks in the house, I start on Saturday around dinner changing all the clocks to make sure of a few things.

1. That I get them ALL changed!

2. That I am in change mode all evening-(not that it works).

3. That we will also be on time for whatever the next day-(not that this works either.)

My body clock is the hardest one to change. I have been getting up at 5 or 6 AM almost all of my life. (You would have to ask my mom if it is ALL of my life-if I was one of THOSE babies that woke up early.)
Today, I woke up at the same time I usually do. I woke up, per the clock, at 5:30 AM. But in reality, it is 4:30 AM! Not a fair thing to do to me. Oh, I know, I have no legitimate reason to be up at that time today and could have stayed in bed. But, my mind starts reasoning that IF I go ahead and get up, I will get adjusted to this change sooner. Yeah, sure!
It's not bad enough that I get up so early, they are going to get me up even earlier? Then when I go to study this AM, I will inevitably fall asleep, or struggle for hours- accomplishing nothing! I have a hard enough time staying awake at night, now I will be dead tired and fall asleep even earlier. Of course that means at meeting, I will be able to sleep.

Is the Fall change any easier? The alarm clock will say 4:30, but my body clock will say it's time to get up! It's a lose lose thing for me. Many other people think, "AWESOME! I get to sleep an extra hour!" Not this body! I can't convince my body clock that it is okay to just forget when you used to get up and now get up later!

As you can see, I am not a huge fan of the time shift. I realize YEARS ago, when it all started, it had a purpose. I thinks somewhere along the line it has lost whatever purpose it possibly could have been. I think we were told years ago it was for someone be able to have more daylight time. If that was EVER true, did anyone ever think that possibly they could just be the ONLY ones that need to get up earlier? Why does the entire country be shifted? And weren't we always told -we all have ONLY 24 hours? Well, today, that is a lie! I only have 23 today! SOMEONE STOLE ONE FROM ME!

Just when we were beginning to think that we are getting out of winter because it is getting lighter in the morning, they change the time and back to dark mornings again! Feels like winter setting in all over.

I would like to think of something positive to say about this. I am sure, for mother's with small children, being given the extra hour before the chaos starts is a plus.
I am up early-been up for 1 1/2 hours, it's dark at 7 AM and My hubby is asleep. I totally resent his being able to ignore what is happening around him!

Whose Idea Was This?????
