This stupid time change messed up the Kims something fierce.
Maddie and Riley made virtually no adjustment to their wakeup time on Sunday morning, so they were ready to go at 6:15 a.m. The new 6:15 a.m., or the old 5:15 a.m. Gar. I was not so ready, but I pretended I was ready and all was well until around 1:00 p.m. when everyone fell apart. We were all tired and cranky, we smelled like smoke from a failed attempt at a fire in the fireplace, no one felt like eating meals at the right time so everyone was hungry (but I didn't figure that out until much later), and while it had some real high spots, it was generally just a blah of an early afternoon.
Needless to say, we jumped on the chance for an imprompu invite from a friend to go hang out for a while, and that helped to boost everyone's spirits. Until, that is, both Maddie and Riley fell asleep in the car on the way home—at 5:30 p.m.—and could barely be roused to eat a bit of dinner and read some stories and collapse into bed, falling immediately asleep, at 7:00 p.m. They slept through, more or less, until 6:30 a.m., although both seem to have colds, which probably played into their bad moods yesterday.
All of this is a long boring way of saying that I wish we would just skip all of this time changing and keep the clocks in the same position all year round. Perhaps I will start a Facebook page dedicated to this cause. Or tweet about it. That'll get things done, right? That's taking things to the top! Ha.
But the weekend was far from all bad. There was park time, a great church service, good times with friends and family, and cookie baking. Oh, and a call from Mr. Brady. We'll be going out again on Saturday, details TBD. It's nice to have something to look forward to outside the usual day-to-day.

You can also just move to AZ or HI, they don't hold with all this ridiculous time changing.
I didn't know there was a new beau in the picture - I must read your posts more closely. I tried to take solace in this time change - it could have been worse - like fall's time change was.
Kizz: Hawaii sounds pretty good . . .
Mommy, Esq.: See post from March 12!
I don't like Daylight savings either. I'm not a morning person, so having light as late as possible in the day is better for me anyway.
I'm excited he called you back and you have something else to look forward to! Fun, fun.
I am so sorry about the daylight savings time fiasco. I am with you 100% on hating it. Our wake-up time did change slightly, but bedtime last night was AWFUL. Mateo caught on to his bedtime actually being an hour earlier and it turned into tantrum time instead of sleeping time. I'd join your facebook or twitter campaign to abolish the whole practice!
Daylight savings time drives me nuts. I'm not sure which switch I loathe more.
I hope you and Mr. B have a fabulous time! If I message you I hope you'll give me all the details again!!
I will join any FB page you start about your hatred for time changes. Why bother anymore? It makes no sense.
If this were an FB status update, I'd "Like" it - We don't like this time change thing either... and YAY on the seeing him again. :-D
When you wrote "while it had some real high spots" Isuspected that it may have been a phone call, or something similar. :-)
Because I live in South Africa, we don't have the daylight saving thing, but I remember it from my years in the UK. I hated the October change SO much more than the March one, BUT, I didn't have any kids back then.
I will jump on board the stop daylight savings train! It messes with me so much!
