I’d like to extend a big Eff You to Daylight Savings Time. Now, even when I get little to no sleep, I will wake up feeling OK. This morning? Not so much. I went to bed at what felt like 11 to me but was really the new midnight. I woke every two hours or so. I also had a weird dream wherein I was Robin and as I flew from rooftop to rooftop, I was trying to call Nightwing but he wouldn’t answer and I knew Batman was in trouble. Honestly? I haven’t read a comic in a week! My brain works in mysterious ways.
This morning was dark and foggy and the drive to day care just made me feel like turning around and going right back home. I eagerly slurped down a bottle of Coke Zero but that caffeine is not working. I feel like battered crap. But let’s not be entirely negative! I had a fairly fun and productive weekend. On Saturday, I spread fertilizer on my front yard and mowed the back. Ash and I tried a new Mexican place in town called La Rumba and it was SO good. We haven’t had good Mexican like that since El Chico. The tacos, enchiladas, beans and rice were all well prepared and tasty. Plus, their portions weren’t oversized like some places. We were quite pleased. Then we had Dairy Queen and went home to fix some loose boards on our deck. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we played out on the deck with Elliot.
Do you see those? Sandals for little kids! They look gigantic on his feet but they’re actually the right size.
On Sunday we did pretty much the same thing. Ash fixed a place in our fence that needed attention and I cleaned up my deck chair and laid out in the sun; got my vitamin D for the day. Elliot is in a much better mood now – I guess his teeth are calmed down for now – so he wasn’t an unbearable mess. Thank God.
So, there’s my boring recap. What did you all do this weekend? And are you also affected by this time change as badly as I?

Time change totally sucks. I tossed for an hour (normally out cold in 5 minutes).
I’m one of those rare morning people but I struggled to get out of bed this morning. I’m convinced Daylight Savings Time is a government plot to keep us tired. It’s tax season, so now we are tired from the clock change and are more prone to make mistakes. The government profits from our exhaustion!
(El Chico is closed? That’s sad.)
I visited a friend on Saturday evening and got home around 2am. Only all the clocks, save one, said 3am. So I figured we’d had a power outage from the storm and my wife had set them wrong. Only I’m an idiot. That’s an eye-opener at 3am . . .
