I HATE Daylight Savings Time


For those of you that REALLY know me. Know that I hate Daylight Savings Time. EVERY stinkin 6 months my internal clock is messed up and it takes me forever to get back on track. I don't know why but last fall it took me till December to stop waking up at 5 am instead of 6 am.
So this month, I have been hoping it wouldn't happen again. My trusty calendar that I bought at Big Lots has Oct 26 marked as Daylight Savings. So of course, I highlighted it and I have been thinking about this week. Last night around 9:30 as I was reading I was nodding off but I thought I can't go to sleep now because this would be like going to bed at 8:30 and I will be up really early. Well wouldn't you know it I woke up at my usual 6 am time today and thought it's really only 5 am...here we go. So I go get on the computer and I check a few blogs. The first one that I read says, "Sorry to anyone that I told it was Daylight Savings Tomorrow...it's really next week" WHAT.. are you kidding me. My calendar says it's today. So, I google it and yep, it's NEXT Sunday. I guess it wouldn't have been good to show up an hour late for 8:30 am church..huh. Or maybe I will and pretend that I never saw that blog.
Just wait until I have to go wake up that sleepy man in my bed. He went to bed thinking he was getting an extra hour of sleep too.
Should I take my defected calendar back to Big Lots? Do you think they will give me my dollar back?

Lesson # 1: Never buy calendars from Big Lots! I feel so bad for you! The year that you are going to conquer Day Light Savings, you get the wrong date. It made me laugh, but I bet you weren't!
