Come with me on a rant for a second will you? Join the revolution. What is this revolution you ask? More precisely, what the heck is P.A.D.S? Parents Against Daylight Savings. Stay with me here. I’m done with Daylight Savings, literally tired from it. All these people with grown kids, or no kid, talking about getting an extra hour of sleep, and “oh, yeah, I got to go back to sleep for an extra hour this morning.” Shut. Up. Please, you have no idea what us with little ones are going through this week. Both of my kids have been getting up before 6am, and are they going to bed earlier?? No, no they’re not, in fact if you think about it, they are actually going to bed an hour later then they were before we “fell back.” So, they are staying up an extra hour, and oh, not sleeping an hour later in the morning. Which, in case you haven’t picked up this one tiny little detail yet, it means they are LOSING an hour of sleep every day.
Do you know what happens when a one year old and a three year old, lose an hour of sleep every day for several days in a row? I’ll give you a hint; it rhymes with, oh forget what it rhymes with, it means melt down city. A crank-fest, tears, yelling, screaming, and that’s just me. I’ve had it. I’m done. Let’s start a revolution right now, forget Occupy Wall Street, this is where the real battle needs to be fought. Down with Daylight Savings, join me, leave a comment, sign the petition!
