Curse You Daylight Savings!

Whilst the rest of the world (except Arizona and Hawaii) is eagerly awaiting their extra hour of sleep on Sunday, I am completely dreading the weeks upon weeks of one hour LESS sleep I will be experiencing.

How is this possible, you ask? Well, I will be more than happy to whine about it tell you. See, since the dawn of time, fine, the dawn if miniG's time (4ish years ago) he has been an early riser (between 6am and 6:30am...usually more towards the 6am). No matter what time this child goes to bed, his biological clock wakes him up at the same time every day. You know how if normal people have a long day and go to bed late, they will compensate for it and sleep in a little the next day....not miniG...if anything, he will just get up even earlier...

So, all the advice out there of "put your child to bed 15 minutes later every couple of days to gradually reset their clock before the time changes" is completely moot.

In case you're not doing the math here, that means his normal wake up time of 6-6:30, suddenly, overnight!, becomes 5-5:30...ew!

And, just to kick me while I'm down, Chunkamunk, who for the past year has been waking between 7 and 8...yes 8!! It's glorious!...has recently decided that 6:45 looks pretty good...ick!

So, when you wake up well rested this Sunday...think of me...bleary eyed...watching some ridiculous kids show in an attempt to keep miniG in one spot so I can doze without threat of him deciding that now is a good time to give Mom a haircut...
