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!

Yeah, I don't get the Daylight Savings thing. When are they going to get rid of it? Please do before I move from AZ, where we GET it!

It seems to me that since they extended it they should just make it permanent. I don't care which time they want it to be, but let's pick one. We were up super early this morning, too. Is it really only noon?
