And we are saving what, again?

backward_clock.gifSo, we are now officially into our third day of daylight savings time — or we are coming off of DST or something like that, I think. I can only semi-think right now because the stupid time change has left me discombobulated once again. So, what is it we are saving exactly? Daylight? I don’t feel like I have added a single second onto my day since I have had to spend the majority of the day trying to remind myself to keep my eyes open. Ugh.

I was raised in Arizona where the time never changes and Coyotes never sleep. I have lived in the South for over 20 years now and you would think that my body would be adjusted to the time change dealio. Nope. My body and brain reject it on every level. It’s always the Spring forward thing too — I can handle the whole “Fall back” time, but this losing an hour in the morning time just kills me. It’s just an hour, so I can’t figure out why it leaves me so cloudy headed for about a month.

Here’s a new platform for a Presidential Candidate who wants to stand apart from the others — promise that you will pass legislation that will leave our time alone and lower our taxes. Heck, with those two promises alone you could win the seat!

I hope to come out of my cloud soon. I am totally exhausted, but making it. I even made my first Indian dish right here at home. The only real Indian cuisine restaurant in our area shut down, and we have been “needing” some Tandoori Chicken and Naan. Well, I gave it a shot and it was good… not as good as we have had, but I know a few things I need to do next time. Oh, and I only set the fire alarm off one time while using the cast iron skillet to simulate a Tandoor oven. :) Hey, being a homemaker is not just a job… it’s an adventure.

So, chime in and tell me how you are doing with this time change — actually you can chat about anything you want to. What’s on your mind the most these days?
