Thumbs up Fall Back Tonight

It's my favourite weekend of the year! We all get to sleep an extra hour tomorrow. For anybody forgetful, like me, here's a reminder to set all your clocks back an hour tonight, and enjoy the extra sleep

It's not extra sleep. They stole it from me months ago.

Clearly you don't have kids. Time change is a nightmare for parents as now the kids will be getting up at 6 rather than 7. Yay...

I like it. Maybe I could change it just before we go to the inlaws that way I get one extra hour of sanity

That only applies to good parents. We're relieved that finally our 4 year old daughter will be going to bed before 10:00 PM, and getting up early enough at 8:00 AM to get to preschool on time.

Dogs are worse than kids. Mine will be whining by 6:30 to go outside. Worse, I'll have to wait 4 and a half hours for football to start. I'll drink two pots of coffee tomorrow morning because of this.

This actually worked for us in the spring. We kept our 4 & 2 year old on standard time last spring and plan to do the same with this next switch. The year before was brutal.

OK, I am confus.

It is 2:30 am right now. Is it really 2:30, has the roll back already happened? Would it be 3:30 right now, if the roll back hadn't happened?
