daylight savings time stinks !!!!
 

I want my hour back !!!!
Micah's nap time is all screwed up,,, took a nap at 4:00 yesterday had to wake him up a 6pm and couldn't get him back to bed until 10 pm, had to wake him up at 6 am, late for work, cause when he peed on the potty, the little cup wasn't up... the day is starting off just right for a sucky monday !!!!!

I LOVE daylight savings time. I takes me a few days to get my sleep wake cycle straightened out. But I just plan for it cuz it's gonna happen twice a year! :D

I am so happy to have the extra hour of daylight when I get off work!! WHOO! HOOO!

I hate it. It's a pretty new concept for us Hoosiers & it's just plain annoying. I go to bed at 9-9:30 & during the summer it's still daylight until 10 at least. Plus it was just starting to get light in the morning & now it's dark again.

That's what time i go to bed to around 9-9:30, and that was Micah's schedule, now its all messed up again, he's going to bed around 10-10:30 taking naps later in the day also.. and i hate that's its dark when i come to work also.

We used to have the time change many many years ago in Indiana, but for some reason they stopped. Now they are doing it again. I don't like the first couple of days....I'm always so tired, but after that I love it. The darkness of a morning isn't too awful bad, but I really love the extra light of an evening in the summertime. Weird going to bed sometimes when it's still light, but I have shades that make the room almost black...so it's okay.

We don't have daylight savings here. I love not having to remember things like that, but it's hard to make plans with friends who live in other provinces!

I guess i have to get use to it Janet, i do like the extra daylight to play with Micah outside.
i just remebered i have to change my batteries in my smoke detectors... :confused:

That's a good idea Haley. We change the batteries on ours twice a year. New Years Day and July 4th. Just something we've always done.

Janet i never started that until Micah was born, then Mike also got Carbon monoxide detectors also, they went off twice already, we had the furance checked and found nothing. i hate those pain in the ass things.... just cost me more money...

I like the time change! The daylight in the afternoons is worth the adjustment for me. But then again I don't have any children that need to adjust. Thank goodness kids are adaptable:)

I love it !!! A great sign that summer is coming!! yahooo!!


Sorry Haley, Micah will adjust in a few to the time change..

Gina i picked him up yesterday at daycare and he was sleeping oh boy, he wasn't to happy with me, i kept him up until bedtime... he went to bed again around 9:45.. so i have to get him back on the 9pm bedtime.

You'll get him there Haley....you're a good mom. It just takes time. I am still a little sleepy today, but in another day or two, I'll be back to normal....LOL....if that's possible...LOL.

i'm trying Janet, i'm just swapped lately, i had it out with his daycare this morning, his butt was so red yesterday it wasn't even funny, she got a new little girl she holds all day cause everytime you put her down she cries... and i know she left micah in a poopy diaper, and i will NOT put up with that. his butt was terrible yesterday and still very red this morning... i tried to get a chance to download those pictures for you but i just ran out of time.. Plus looking for another job on top of things is very time consuming..

Sorry things are so hectic Haley! Micah will get his sleep hours straightened out.
I hope the job hunt goes well.

I love the extra light at night. It means summer to me. I do think the whole concept is silly though. I believe it was started so that school children would not have to walk to school on dark mornings in winter. I remember Nixon involved in that.

I have also been sleeping about 12 to 15 hours since the clock was changed!
I'm so glad I know why now. I was really beginning to get worried!

The rate its going here, i'll be off of work this summer and i'm going to enjoy it with Micah. i'm sucking up my unemployement.. we went from 20 guys here, there laying off more today we will be down to 3 guys and 2 mechanics, only a matter of time before we shut down, so i been looking everyday.. something will come up, but i'm taking my time..
But for Micah he will adjust, hopefully soon, he's killing me at night, 9pm was my bedtime too :(

I hate the time change in the spring. It's so hard to lose an hour especially when it's sleep!! I remember the days when I had little kids that had to get used to a new schedule. I hated it too, Haley!!

I DO like having the sunlight longer in the evening. Personally, I wish that they'd just put us on DST and just leave it that way!!!

Me too Diana, i think its harder on me than Micah, i need that extra hour... but i can't wait till it warms up.. i'll be outside all the time with Micah, with his Birthday money were going to get him a swingset for the yard.

Here's an article about the history of daylight savings time. It began as an energy saving thing.

i'm still not use to it, i been late for work the last two days, i think i'm just drained i have no energy... Micah's still going to bed around 10pm, the kid is killing me. i can't seem to get him back to his 9pm time, i got 3 days this weekend to work on him so we will see what happens, maybe i can get caught up on my sleep this weekend also... :rolleyes:

interesting article Judy.;)

Do you have shades you can pull down so it will be darker in your house until he can get used to it? Maybe he just needs it to be a little darker for a little while.

Yes my bedroom is very dark, the problem is with Micah he's starting to take a later nap, so he has all this energy for Mom when i pick him up... so hopefully the weather will get warmer soon and i can take his butt outside and burn off some of that extra energy... :p
