The twenty-five hour day
Categories: Just for moms, Just for dads, In the news
Courtesy of Daylight Savings Time, yesterday was twenty-five hours long. By setting our clocks back, we got the benefit of an additional hour play with the kids, take care of chores, or, if you're really lucky, sleep. I think I would have liked to have gotten some extra Z's if I didn't have kids.Daylight Savings Time is meant to allow people to make better use of the long summer days, leaving morning routines -- when everyone is still half asleep anyway -- in the dark. One of the side effects is that for one day a year, there are twenty-five hours in a day, something, I'm sure, virtually every parent would like to see everyday, all year long.
Once a year, however, is better than never, I guess. The only question I have, though, is that even with the extra hour, why did we still end up getting to swim class late and why am I still so tired?

It's actually Daylight Saving Time, no "s" on saving.
