Daylight savings is great……….when you first wake up in the morning, but at around four o’clock in the afternoon when it starts to get dark and I feel like I need a triple espresso, I’m pretty much done with it. Shut up! Before daylight savings I usually felt like I only needed a double espresso at that time of the day, there’s a difference. Having to get up at 6 a.m. on school days, I so appreciate that there is now light peeking through my blinds when I get up in the morning, but somehow I forget about just how great that is when it’s dark at 5 p.m. and I can no longer go out for an evening walk to work off some of the pasta dinner that I just ate. This makes me even more grumpy and self-conscious about my weight and the fact that I shouldn’t have stood at the stove picking the vegetables out of the pot before putting away the leftovers. I blame it all on daylight savings and I’m wondering who the heck came up with this bright idea and I’m also thinking that a move to Arizona might be really awesome. I mean, it’s warm there, they don’t recognize daylight savings, it’s warm there. I’m just wondering one thing, how do I get something this important on the ballot? If you could help me with that, I’d be so grateful.

I am still recovering from it. It has never affected me but this year…all I wanted to do is sleep since the clocks went back and it means I can’t ride my bike to work anymore…too dark when I am heading home at 5:15…yuck!

That dark is the killer for me. I’m a sunshine kind of girl, which means I defnitely live in the wrong state.
I am right there with you. This daylight savings crap makes me want to be in bed by 5 p.m. My kids get off of the bus at like 5 p.m. and it’s almost dark. Boo!
Oh my gosh! What a long bus ride for the kiddos and no fun for any of you if they get home that late AND it’s dark.
We don’t do daylight savings in Hawaii too =)

Okay, I obviously need to rethink my address now that Hawaii is an option, too.
