QOTD Wednesday (Fall back)
How do you feel about the time change this weekend? Are you a fan of getting an extra hour of daylight in the morning, but losing an hour in the evening?
Re: QOTD Wednesday (Fall back)
I don't really enjoy the shorter days. But I guess it won't make that big of difference to me. Since it still going to be dark when I put Baby Handy to bed and I want to go running.
It is sad to not be able to go to the play ground after we finish dinner.

I'm generally not a fan, but I haven't cared as much since having C because we're always inside eating dinner and getting ready for bed, regardless of how light it is. Before we used to run and walk the dogs and whatever after work, but now it's the same old grind every evening and we're rarely outside to enjoy the sunlight
Ooh. That sounds depressing - it wasn't meant to be! Just that our evening routine depends less on daylight now!

It's depressing to drive home at sunset (or after) when I leave my office at five, and it's not like the extra light in the morning will last for long as the days get shorter. I'm just annoyed with the time change at all. I'd rather stick to one schedule. The days get shorter, so we're just postponing the inevitable.
Wow, that sounds super grouchy. I have to deal with some issues this morning before posting more :P

I don't really mind it. I am having a really hard time getting out of bed in the morning lately because it's so dark, so I'll appreciate it being light in the a.m.
I have this problem too, so I like the fall back.
Also, I get up early to go to swim practice on Sunday mornings, so that extra hour of sleep will feel so luxurious!
It's not a big deal to me since it's getting to be that time of year at work where I'll be leaving late enough that it would be dark regardless.
It was so nice when we lived in Arizona because they don't do observe daylight savings time so I never had to remember to switch the clocks! Since we moved back to the East Coast, I almost always forget to do it.
Not really. I used to like it when I was in school and got an extra hour of sleep, but now that DS is here it's not like we even get that. It's already light when I wake up so the extra daylight doesn't really help in the morning, and I hate leaving work when it's already dark.
So I say, boo to daylight savings.

same here!
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
This is my opinion on the fall back too.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Not really looking forward to it. My day begins at 4:30 when I get up for bootcamp and then ends at 6:30 at night when my "work day" is over.
I tend to hybernate more when it's dark out.
What would I do without QOTD??? I had no idea that DLS was this weekend!
Fall back depresses me. Leaving the office at the end of the day when it is dark outside just seems wrong.
Call me super grouchy too. The days get shorter so eventually it's dark when you get up and when you get home. I especially miss after-dinner family walks or playing outside.
I'm looking forward to the extra hour, as well as the sun rising earlier. I'm a bear in the morning anyway, but it's been even worse getting up when it's still dark out. With DST, I'll at least have a little more light in the morning. It sucks coming home in the dark, but it's not like I do much outside in the evenings anyway.
Planning Bio
I'll be glad for more light in the mornings as I have a terrible time waking up in the dark. But I hate that it is dark when I leave work.
And I really hate driving home the Monday night after the time change, as that is a day with increased accidents.
I'm mostly looking forward to it. Lately I've been going to bed around 11:30 which is way too late. Maybe now I'll go back to being tired at a more reasonable time!!
The only thing I hate about this time change is that the sun will start coming up and blinding everyone trying to go east on Rt 7. Every morning going toward Leesburg, there will be a place where everyone is going a nice, decent speed and then goes over a hill, sees the blinding sun and SLAMS on the brakes. To all the stupid drivers out there...get some sunglasses and let's all keep moving please!!!
