Spring Forward, Fall Back - Enough already!

I'm tired.  And I'm not going to take it any more. I'm exhausted. I'm grouchy. I find no logical reason why my life should be dictated by a tradition that I see no value for. I must confess I hate Daylight Saving Time.

I'm not sure what time we are saving. I only know that this twice a year tradition has me seeing red. (And I'm not only talking about my eyes because of lack of sleep.)


This practice is over a century old, and it feels like it. It just doesn't make any sense to me.  I am seriously thinking that it is time to start lobbying the US government and start a movement to ban this practice.  It will take some planning but I am sure that there are many of you out there that feel the way I do. What is required is some snappy group name, followed by a very clever tag line, and I'm sure we
will have national movement in no time. (It's either that or move to Russia.) Russia is considering abolishing Daylight Saving Time by 2012.  At this moment I'm not sleeping well and I'm tired. I don't care where I live as long as my much loved and valued sleep time is not disturbed.

No Daylight Saving Time in Russia - I'm so there!
