I look forward to the “Fall Back” part of Daylight Savings Time.
This “Spring Forward” thing is for the birds though.
As soon as I saw the first reminder show up in my email and newsfeed – plus the reminder from my parents by phone this afternoon – I groaned.
Sure, I will be more than happy to leave school when there is still daylight left, but if truth be told, I kind of like my sleep more.
I kind of wish I had noticed that this short night would be happening the night before our scheduled “creative non-drowning kayaking class” taking place tomorrow. (We’ll be practicing rolling kayaks.)
(I’m already jazzed up about the short night so don’t get me started about my worry that my bathing suit won’t fit tomorrow…if it makes you feel better, this might be the motivation I need to get my butt to the gym on Monday morning…)
So, I guess it is time to quit whining and just figure that we’ll all be in bed earlier than normal tonight to make up for that time vacuum that will happen around 2 AM thanks to Daylight Savings Time.
Charting By the Stars 
It’s amazing how that one effects us. I’ll feel it all week.
Me, too!
Where are you rolling kayaks?! That sounds cool–though the water’s a bit cold for me yet. I’m not a fan of the spring forward either.
Thankfully we’ll be in a pool. I don’t know that anyone is brave enough to do this in PA in March outside. WAY too cold here yet.
Oh, that’s right. That’s tonight!
I like the title of this piece because I never thought of it in that way before.
Good luck with the kayaking tomorrow.
I guess technically, the night is as long as it ever is – the clock just won’t match it. And since we have to live by the clock here, then we get a short night.
I bet I know what my slice will be about tomorrow!
I turned all my clocks ahead THIS morning which is my newest strategy so all day I have been ahead and tomorrow I will just be on time!
Now where was this useful tip for me this morning?! I will be filing this away for next year…
Did you have to remind me? – I love the tip from writekimwrite but then todays schedule events are all goofed up. Even so I might try that next year!
See? Awesome bonus for coming to check out this post! Thanks!
This makes me groan, too. I love sleeping!
Sleep = GOOD
Amazing how one hour can make all the difference in the world. I wish the time would change on a Saturday, instead of a Sunday so we would have an extra night to adjust before going back work.
Enjoy kayaking- sounds like fun!
That would make sense. But maybe we could just adjust in our own lives on Saturday and Sunday would be easy. :)
Kayaking should be fun. As soon as I get past the bathing suit thing. (That will only take a couple minutes.)
I’m with you on losing an hour tonight, but I’m not as vehement as most of my now home state of Indiana where many residents still haven’t forgiven the past governor for putting us on daylight savings time in the first place. The kayaking sounds awesome. We did some open kayaking when we were at the beach–no rolling required.
I think I am already tired! early night for me! I really never thought of this as the shortest night of the year…
I enjoyed the tone of this slice – funny! I’m with you, though. Gimme back my hour! (Guess we’ll have to wait till fall.)
Why is it that on THIS night, EVERY year, I am just NOT ready for bed any time before 11, or 12? I swear, it’s my worst enemy.
Ugh, I hate “spring ahead”… though I did manage to sleep in a bit this morning. Which then put me at the grocery store during the rush…
Have fun kayaking!
We had a wonderful time. I slept in a bit, too. The young one was complaining about his stomach again so I stayed home with him while Jason went to church. He seemed to be feeling better so we did go to our kayaking class. Somehow the kid felt better for that – but has since thrown up 6 times. Yuck.
