BUMMER! This is one of the special days I await all year long, and today I blew it!! I forgot to set my clocks back one hour before I went to bed last night, so this morning -- when I could have slept in one extra hour -- I got up even earlier than usual so that I would not be so last-minute in getting to church. At least my daughter alerted me to the situation before I grabbed my grandson and dashed out the door. As it was, we used the free hour to enjoy a breakfast at Waffle House. Yum.
We've lived with the Daylight Savings Time ruse since the Nixon era now, and a person has to wonder if anything or anyone has benefited from it. I wondered if the Waffle House staff on the early morning shift got gypped an hour's wages. Surely somebody somewhere is on either the losing or the winning end of the stick here because it's just not like typical government to be able to mess with something as monumental as timing the movement of the sun without messing several people up.
Well, my morning was salvaged, but please, someone, give me a call next year so that I don't miss out on this special government treat. And now, since it's really an hour later than my clock says it is, I'm heading to bed so that I can try to acclimate my body's clock to the new time.
