It has been a really great day, but somehow I now find myself in my bed BEFORE 10 (thanks Daylight Savings Time) with a wide awake 4 year old next to me who is nowhere near needing to sleep.  If I had the energy I would banish him from my bed, but to be honest, I am still struggling with the effects of what people call DST.  (Daylight Savings Time)  I just hope through the generous support of donors that doctors can find a cure for this ridiculous concept.

Don’t get me wrong……I have had no problems at all getting up, working, or moving through the day.  But I am a creature of routine, and I generally go to bed at the same time, or at least close to it, every night.  My body says 11, but the clock says 10.  Ben says 2:30, but no one is listening to him anyway.  But my point is that there is no reason to change our clocks.  It is the same reason I do not have my nose pierced….it makes no sense.

But I know I am one against many.  My plan, which I think may indeed work, is to invite legislators over for a sleepover with Ben.  But short of that, I am hoping I get used to it.

So here’s to hoping he just gives up and falls asleep……I am hopeful, but not optimistic.  After all, I am dealing not just with a 4 year old, but DST.  And until there is a cure, no one is going to be able to sleep……..not even me.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
