Dear Daylight Saving Time,
You obviously were invented by a man. With no children.
Across the nation this week (except Arizona!), mothers will be struggling to adjust their children to the falling back of an hour. We will be tirelessly entertaining and consoling cranky toddlers who want to start their day at 6am instead of 7am; who want to eat lunch at 11am instead of 12pm; who want to nap at 12pm instead of 1pm; who want to eat dinner at 5pm instead of 6pm; who want to go down for the night at 6pm instead of 7pm.
Not only are mothers adjusting their own internal body clocks this week, we are also helping our already moody toddlers make the transition as well. And, it is not an easy transition for a wee one who is already prone to tantrums, whining, and crying when they don't have it their way!
Yes, and hour is THAT big of a deal to these children. And their mothers!
Sincerely,
Christy (I hope I survive this week) Ward

I am soooo with you on this!!! Clay had gotten on somewhat of a schedule and now it's gone out the window!
My boys were up at 6:00 this morning, too. If I knew where to send a letter, you better believe I would...along with a petition signed by millions of miserable mothers. I want to move to Arizona where they don't do this foolishness.
How in the WORLD did I not know that Arizona was exempt from this craziness?!
I agree with you Christy...terrible on mommies and kids. I think Monday was worse than Sunday, however.
