Fallen backwards

Oh dear lordy this time change has just about done me in good.  Changing the clocks twice a year results in a warp zone of time that you never get back or can't seem to get out of and it seems to have stolen my utter ability to use any commonly correct grammar.  Ooops.

I was expecting the baby to have trouble napping, to wake up at all hours and resist bedtime with a passionate fury but actually so far, lest I jinx myself into anther two freaking weeks of sleepless nights, I do think he has weathered this time warp with extreme ease.  Thanks to the heavens above that really did owe me a little for I have spent until last Friday night, two straight weeks being awake about two or three or seven times a night with a jerky, thrashy, yelling, non-sleeping baby.  I suspect a massive bout of teething was at fault, although no new teeth are cutting as of  yet; or, a physical and neurological growth spurt resulting in many a synapse misfires, akin to a dud firecracker that appears to have fired itself directly into the ground only to regain enough pyrotechnic energy to relaunch itself directly into the leg of the dumbshit standing over it waiting to confirm its dud-ness. 

So this time change? So far so good, except for the fact that it is dark at like, oh, lunch time and ditto for the morning time as well.  I like sunlight, it makes me happy.  I am going to have to make a serious effort to get outside in the middle of the day for some walks to allow a tad bit of UV into my borderline-depressed-retinas. 

Also, I'm tired, like, um, I ken haz bedtimes nao? It is only 8:23PM but it seems like 9:23PM and being tired is just so much more ... acceptable an hour from now.  It helped Noah that we kept him up late last night having dinner with my parents so tonight's bedtime, although an hour later than what it should be was still a little earlier than last.  And finally folks, that last sentence confused me so much I'm going to get some much needed and much deserved SLEEP.

Sleep tight mama! I'm still getting used to it for sure. Felt very strange to be driving to my usual 8:30 Sunday morning clients today- I felt like I was super-late! And the kids had lunch at 2, because we were confused. Soon we'll adjust- then it will be time to change again.:)
