### DST

Is anyone but me dreading Daylight Savings Time this Sunday? My feelings about DST have changed since having children--once I merely disliked it, now my feelings border on pure loathing. So I'm trying to decide if I can turn it to my advantage, or if I need to move to Arizona so I don't have to endure it.
Spring forward--so that means that at noon on Sunday, it will feel like 11 am. Hmmm. That means it will be practically impossible to get my kids to take a late morning nap before church, because if I put them down at 11am, it will feel like 10am, and I don't think that's gonna work. Great. Okay, so this means that they will have their afternoon church breakdown at 2:30 instead of 1:30--great for me with Mercy, because then she'll be in nursery and they'll have to deal with it, but not so great for Ezra, because that's just when the sharing time lesson is ending and the music (the hardest part for him because he wants so bad to be up with Mommy) is just beginning. Oh, that's just fabulous.
Okay, so I can't come up with any reason why this is a good thing. My kids won't sleep in beyond the first day, because Daddy getting ready for work wakes them up pretty regularly. They'll be harder to put to bed at night, because they won't feel like it's bedtime with it still light outside. Ugh!
Yes, I know that it will only last a week or less till we all get used to it, but that doesn't stop me from complaining. At least spring is almost here--I love the winter, but I get tired of all the indoor time right about now. So, yay for spring, boo for DST, and have a nice day, y'all.
