This morning at 7:21 a.m., when I woke up, it was still VERY dark outside. So dark, in fact, that I wondered why Denis was taking a shower at 4:00 a.m. It felt that early because of the darkness. It’s miserable having it be so dark in the morning – it makes it tough to wake up. CootieGirl woke up at 8:40 a.m. yesterday. She NEVER sleeps that late. Or at least, not that often. She’s definitely a sleeper like her Mama, but not that much. But it’s the darkness in the morning that’s doing it.
I can’t wait for the time change this weekend. And not just because we get an extra hour of blissful sleep. The only GOOD thing about having the time change be a week later is that I won’t be driving home from work in fear on Halloween night. Last year it was dark already at 6:30 p.m. and our neighborhood was overrun with trick or treaters walking in the street, and I drove in mortal fear that I’d hit a kid. At least this Halloween when I get home it’ll still be light out so that I can deliberately aim for some kid to hit. Just kidding!!
