Daylight savings time

Whoever thought of daylight savings time was not a mother. Everytime we adjust the clocks we also have to work hard to readjust our children's internal clocks. That means beside my own adjustments, I have to help five little people adjust to the "new" time as well.

I read online it started as a way to save energy. Ok, so we don't use as much energy in the evening. When I wake up in the dark I still need energy. I would hate to try to navigate throughout the house without the use of a lightbulb or two. In fact in the morning I tend to be more mobile about the house thus using more lights. In the evening I am generally more likely to stay put in one room for awhile. Of course, no one called me and asked my opinion. I would have been happy to share. I say pick a time and leave it alone. Let our bodies adjust once and for all. Keep it simple and avoid the complication. Life is full of adjustments; here's one we could avoid.
