slug bugs when i'm 10!

On the way home from church today tj (who was sitting in the very back) kept trying to tell us something like this:

       MOM! when i get to turn 10... wnoiajnlgkanslkgn (something we couldn't hear) so we ask him to speak up...

       MOM! when i'm 10 ! lajkd;lafkjklsdm.f.a.s./w///..... he tapers off again, so again we ask him to speak louder...

        MOM! when im 10  SLUG BUG YELLOW!

after the laughter from up front dies down, we ask tj, what about when your 10?

      oh, i don't know he says.... brad and i laugh again and then brad reminds me of this joke:

How many kids with ADD does it take to screw in a light bulb?
I don't know, how ma---- Wanna ride my bike?!?

Is this REALLY necessary?!?!

Day Light Savings Time...

really?

i did half my growing up years in Arizona, where they don't believe in DST :)

yes, no change.

But change is good no?

no.
it's not.

change means cranky kids,
cranky mom,
and (perhaps) a cranky dad.

 TODAY's change meant that my ridiculously early riser woke up even earlier!
TODAY"S change meant that we had longer to get ready for church (bonus)
               BUT it also meant that we were at church later (negates the bonus...)
TODAY'S change meant that our fast went even longer.
TODAY's change made 2:30 feel like 8:30! (is this even possible?) It seemed like the day would NEVER end, and with cranky kids, this is definately NOT the day to have a NEVER-ENDING DAY, maybe like wednesday, friday or saturday. those are good days to NEVER end (unless again, of course cranky kids are involved)
TODAY's change makes the sun go down (or the earth rotate away from the sun) even earlier, like 5ish!
TODAY's change means that I only have 4 months to get used to this, just in time to SPRING FORWARD!!! great. just great.

happy "saving's" to all, and to all a good night!
