I don't like when it is dark out in the morning, and the sun doesn't come up until I am already on my way to work. It makes getting out of bed pretty hard. So for that reason, I'm pretty happy Daylight Savings ended last night. But I also really hate getting out of work when it is pitch black out. Monday is going to be terrible, though it does make you look forward to January. By the end of January, it does start to get a little bit light out when I walk out the doors at work. So there are pros and cons to the end of DLS. But the absolute worst part of it is today. The first morning after the end of DLS is so screwy to my inernal clock. I ended up getting out of bed at 6:30 this morning because in my mind it is 7:30 and I can't sleep much past 7:30. Yes, sometimes I can make it until 8, but mostly it's 7:30 if I am so lucky to not have to go to to work that day. (workdays I get up at 6:20). It's sad, my poor kids aren't going to know the absolute joy of getting up early on the weekends without Mom or Dad and watching TV. My brother and I lived for Saturday mornings when we could watch The Smurfs all by ourselves. Mom would come down after the shower had already started, make her coffee and stay in the kitchen reading the paper. We would all have to be very very quiet so Dad wouldn't wake up. My kids won't know that. Mom will already be in the room with them, deciding on whether or not to deal with their loud complaints caused by changing the channel to something less animated, less noisy, and less anoying. Unless it is SpongeBob Squarepants. I do love that little guy. Anywho, back to Daylight Savings. It's 7:05. I've already read a little bit, made some coffee, and blogged. What to do now?
