I must start out this morning by saying that the time change is a GOOD thing! I love that it is getting lighter later into the evening. It is so nice to drive home after school and see the sun! Or at the very least, to see something! During these winter months, my drive home has been on the dark, headlight-bright highway--no replacement for natural sunlight. But now, as the sun lingers in the sky for just a little bit longer each day, I look forward to the lovely scenery of my evening commute.
For me, this has been one of the longest weeks of this school year. I have had late nights every night this week and I cannot seem to catch up on that lost hour of sleep from last Sunday. I have been tired and a little cranky and this loss of sleep has really thrown me off of my schedule.
Now, although I am looking forward to the longer days to come, I have recognized some drawbacks to the spring-forward time change. First of all, losing that precious hour of sleep has really hit me hard this time. I just feel so dang tired! Second, there is more evening light to play with which means I am going to bed later than usual...which adds to that precious lost hour of sleep. Third, the longer days give me the feeling that summer is coming, which makes me want to play more than work....and we know how that story ends for the procrastinating grasshopper!
But the good outweighs the bad when it comes to the time change. Once this week is over and I get a good FULL night's sleep, I will be rested and back on schedule with my daily routine (including my blog) and, hopefully, my bedtime! After all, I have to make sure I am well rested so I can fully enjoy my spring vacation!
--Thanks for reading my blog! Sorry I have been rather inconsistent for the last week. With a busy schedule and spring vacation coming up, I have struggled to get it all done! I plan to be back to my regular blogging schedule soon!
