Daylight savings time is my new enemy

I hate daylight savings. Really.

For the last 2 days my daughter has woken up at 5am. Sharp. Usually it's 6:30-7am. And this just sucks.

This is the most boring note ever, but I feel so exhausted right now and so bitter about this silly daylight savings that I thought I'd write it down to get it off my chest.

It's not working, I am still bitter, but maybe someone out there shares my pain? Did your kids wake up earlier?

This morning was a bit better - but still way earlier than normal. I should buy some stock in a coffee company somewhere :)

crack of daylight (and I mean crack). I keep trying to tell myself to TREASURE this extra time, it's a gift, blah, blah..and once i find the coffee pot, I'm going to treasure the little rat.

My son who normally awakens at 6 a.m....is now up and lively at 5 a.m., much to my chagrin.

So I feel your pain.

Even the GUYS in my office are complaining that their kids are up earlier.

Chin up...they will get acclimated soon.

She is 3 and a bit, tkd_mama. It just sucks - sorry for being blunt:) We had the same issues last year and unfortunately I think it took weeks. She is a good sleeper, but a sensitive one, so this is par for the course. But boy, I am struggling to stay awake and not get mad at her for getting up so early:) (and then feeling guilty for slightly getting annoyed with her for getting up too early.... we moms just can't win!)

My stepson (age 8) was up around 5 AM on Sunday, which isn't that unusual for him, and we had to be somewhere yesterday morning so no one got to sleep in anyway.

Hang in there, it will get better! And then we'll change time again in March...
