Spring Ahead

I am sure glad that we have made it to that time of the year when we must follow the time rule change to SPRING AHEAD......that means Spring is just around the corner.

There is just one little problem with that......we lose an hour....an hour to spend with our family....an hour to just get things done.... and MOST IMPORTANTLY AN HOUR TO SLEEP!   My body doesn't recognize at night that it should go to bed on time which would normally be between 10pm and 11pm....when the time changes, my body thinks wow I am still awake and lets stay up until 12am just because my body thinks it is really only 11pm.

I know in a matter of a couple days my body will adjust, but for these last few mornings.... getting up has had its moments.  Now in general I am not a morning person.....I have to have a cup of Tazo Wake up tea or some Earl Grey with bergamot before I am fully functioning.  In my household the only two living creatures that like to get up and are happy first thing in the morning are my dog and my husband.

Our daughter and our 2 cats have the same morning temperment as I do......cranky and don't bother me until I wake up all the way.   It makes for some pretty miserable mornings when it is just my daughter and I here in the house alone.

My husband is one of those types who gest in the shower immediately and starts singing......not well I might add, but he  thinks he sounds great.  If you see him after you have read this don't tell him I said that. 

 At least today when I got up the sun was shining and that can make my day, even when it is this early in the morning....good thing since we have had a request to bake a new type of cookie today.  When we get them done this afternoon I will publish a new post about them with some pictures as well.

So have your tea or coffee this morning and shake off the sand man's spell....I know that I feel better already!
