It's funny–I don't really suffer from jet lag when traveling between the U.S. and Europe. And we're talking a big time change. But this ONE hour of daylight savings puts me in this weird tailspin that takes days to recover from. The fall time change doesn't affect me at all, but the spring one kicks my butt.
I think part of the problem is the extra light. I don't like sunlight. I much prefer the dark. I'm happiest in winter.
Naturally, my husband is the opposite. We'd probably better never live in Alaska…
Oh, and look to the right! Amy made us that awesome button for the Writeminded Reader group! Yay!
Okay, back to the regularly scheduled tiredness…

In the infamous words of Yosemite Sam, “Ah hates DaylightSavings Time!”
I liken the “Spring forward” torture to a roundhouse kick to the head, with this years added bonus of
it being three weeks early and screwing with the clocks on all my auto-set electronic devices.
Ok, I admit it….It took me close to 20 freakin’ minutes to figure out I had to turn the alarm clock over and flip the button to “on” to make the clock set to DST. After I had pushed every stupid time/alarm set button on the top of the clock and only managed to change the day of the week.
Go ahead and laugh. I know you want to.

I hate daylight savings time. And I really, really hate that it hit early this year. It’s going to take a lot of coffee to get through this…

Oh I’m with y’all. I HATE daylight savings time - it screws me up completely. 
P.S. Larissa - I’ll be coming to National after all! Can I be your HQ party date?

I hate it, too. That was one of the things I loved about living in Arizona. They thumb their noses at Daylight Saving Time.

I confess: I don’t really mind Daylight Savings Time (I like having more daylight in the evening- when it should happen instead of in the morning when it is evil and wicked 
). Now all I need though, is to figure out how to reset the cat (or supply her with a snooze button).
