Okay so I get it. Spring forward is hard on everyone. We all lose an hour of sleep. In my younger days it was an hour less I had up watching tv or at some arbitrary party and I was invariably going to sleep in the next day so in reality what did it matter to me? No as I have become wiser (aka old) this is no longer the case. Spring forward is now not just a day it's the week or so it take my kids to acclimate to the fact that their perfect schedule was shifted by an hour an nobody told them.
Lets take this year for example. As you all remember this past Saturday we "sprang forward" if you will. Well everyone sprang except my 4 year old. I mean come on even my 1 year old was hip to the game and jumped right into the new time. My oldest on the other hand it seems decided to protest all together and fall backwards instead. I mean seriously its like the universe is playing a trick in me. Last night my 4 year old who normally is in bed by 8 and sleeping most days by 8:30 was trying to have a conversation with me over the monitor at 10:45?!?!??!!!? Ummmm kid that is NOT okay. And on top of that he had the nerve to ask for some pretzels. I mean come on kid lets get some shut eye for everyone sake.
So tonight I ask you to wish me luck. Lets all hope and pray that this kid decided that he is willing to conform to society and acknowledge that the clock shifted and not stay awake serenading all of the neighborhood with a rousing version of "you've got a friend in me" from toy story which at some points sounds like wolves howling at the moon at full blast. Lets all just hope and pray
