Fall Back

I remember thinking that the "fall back" time change was the coolest thing ever. I would usually make an event of it - Movies and snacks until at least 1 a.m. - I mean, I could sleep in until right before church started and still feel refreshed. Tricking Father Time....

And then I became a parent. Apparantly, 4 and 2 year olds don't get the concept of Daylight Savings Time or otherwise. Last night I let the kids stay up what would have been an hour past their normal bedtime in hope that we could at least delay our getting up by a little bit. The boys usually get up around 7 a.m., so I was hoping we could push to the new 6:30 a.m. by keeping them up.

But Blaine didn't the memo I guess. He must have sensed a change in the barometric pressure (ok, lame guess) because he was up at the new 4 a.m. ready to roll for the day. I was less than thrilled because I tried my old trick of staying up late...

Guess I'll never learn....
