Daylight Savings Time

WOW! It was dark here by 5:00 and pitch black by 6:00. I will like driving to work in some daylight, but, it will be difficult to get used to the darker evenings. 6:30 feels like 9:00 right now! It gets darker here earlier than in TN, so, I am going to have to figure out how to reset my internal clock so I don't feel like a total night owl!

I woke this morning at 6:30. UGH! Who wakes that early on purpose?! Only people who got to "fall back". When I woke, I heard three of the four children already downstairs playing games on the Wii. Abbi came and got in our bed. Of course, she had already awakened me in the middle of the night. At exactly 1:45 AM, I heard, from her room, across the hall, "I said to stop it! BENjaMIN!!" I guess Daylight Savings affects all of us :)

The sun was to set today at 5:02 PM. That is soooo early! I guess we can start eating dinner by candlelight, just to set the mood for the holidays. It is going to feel weird to be grading papers, making the kids do homework, or cooking and cleaning with it so dark out. However, once the snow hits, I know I am going to love looking out on a moonlit night and seeing all the sparkly little crystals reflecting the light!
