I cannot beleive it...already?????? Yep, this Saturday nite, the 8th. I know most of you are thrilled about this. NOT ME. I love the winter, the early darkness, comforting and steaming bowls of soup, the coziness of the dead of winter...sigh..........

anyway, don't forget!!

Oh good. Now I can start waking up on my own at 5:30 am instead of 4:30.

Close to what he said, only I get up at 7 with my internal clock. Personally, I think they need to do away with DST and split the hour.

But there would go people's excuses twice a year! Seriously, I knew someone who showed up to work two hours late because she didn't forget to switch her clocks, she got it backwards! Spring Forward, Fall Back.

Or as I think of it: Spring Forward, Fall Down.

I thought I was the only one who loved the early darkness and cold weather.also everything associated with it like hot soups, baking and such. everyone thinks I'm crazy. I'm glad to know I have a kindred spirit.

Wow! That totally sneaked up on me... Thanks, we'd have been out of sync with the rest of the world.

Dh sprung this on me today! I'm one that is glad to see it coming. I like the longer days! And my ds(13) is thrilled to be able to be outside later!

Count me in on that too. I HATE summer I'll take a cold snowy winter day anytime. If I didn't have obligations here I would so move to alaska.

Yuck. I hate this.

It is so hard to get my kids to bed at their normal bedtimes when it is light out. Sigh....

**boysnberries** · 03-03-2009, 06:51 PM

I'm looking forward to it. I much prefer the longer daylight hours (in the evening) to the shorter.

**Early Bird** · 03-03-2009, 07:01 PM

I hates it, My Precious!

I am a morning person. So, now, instead of taking a nice walk around sunrise at 6:45, it'll be pitch dark; and I'll have to start my walk later -- or give it up.

**DJ1972** · 03-03-2009, 07:32 PM

I like having more daylight in the evening for one reason....DH and DS are outside more! They have cabin fever and are driving me nuts, I am ready for spring!

**The Muse** · 03-03-2009, 07:49 PM

I agree, Traci, I don't mind the early darkness.

I'll be flying somewhere over the Atlantic when this takes effect, too bad it won't shorten my 9 hour flight. Ugh!

**MomToTwoBoys** · 03-03-2009, 10:56 PM

Ahhh, that means it's closer to summer! I can't wait!

I'm one of those women who would love for it to be 72 degrees all day long and only snow on the weekends. In a perfect world, it'd snow at night and be melted by morning.
