Don't you just hate Daylight Savings Time?  First of all, there are the clocks to reset.  In the kitchen there is the stove clock, the clock on the coffee maker, the clock on the micorwave and then - the easist - the kitchen clock, which is battery run so you just move the hands an hour ahead.  The TV and the computer somehow change themselves, this always amazes me, especially because our computer is so old, and now the change occurs at an earlier date than ever.

There are 3 clocks in the bedroom, one on either side of the bed, and then the clock on the radio.  And there is a clock in the hallway upstairs, another battery one.  One of the hardest to change is the clock in the car.  I have to dig out the manual twice a year to see how to do it.  And then there are the clocks, three of them in the Bird's Nest.  It seems like you have them all, and then there it is, another one to reset.  I resolved not to ever wear a watch when I left my last job.  As a secretary, you always had to note the exact time of each phone call, visitor, etc.  Your watch was part of the job.  So, like high heels, the watch is gone.  Timmy has a watch and it took about 15 mnutes for him to get it to the right time today.

Then there are the meals - Is is too early for lunch?  Is is 11 o'clock or 1 o'clock?  Spring ahead, clocks ahead - its repeated a hundred times a day.  Nighttime has its own problems.  I go to bed early, usually at 7:30, listen to a story for an hour, then off to dreamland.  Going to bed and then waking up, a whole new game with Daylight Savings Time.  Who was the airhole that thought this one up?
