Gain an hour, lose an hour

This whole "clocks go back" malarkey is really something else. I remember it being a great event to look forward to for you received, at no extra cost, an extra hour in your bed!

This year, it actually cost me an hour's sleep as no one thought to tell my son about it. Naturally, Mr. 5.5 months decided to get up around about his usual time of half six-ish.. which was suddenly relabelled half five-ish by the government. So whilst the majority cosily enjoy that extra hour, I was doing my best caveman impression at that ungodly hour this morning.

Not only that but he fell asleep before his last feed just after half seven in the evening which was actually half eight - way past his bedtime. I have no idea how I'm gonna get him onto this time difference although I may have to invent some sort of Einstein-slapping, temporal distortion thingy-ma-jig.

  1. oh yeah.
    when you've got kids it's not the night thats an hour longer it's the next day.
    And for me at least that last hour before they go to bed feels like two.

  3. Yeah, thankfully time changes only happen twice a year but I feel I should be asking the government for compensation for mental stress.

    Thanks for the links!
