daylight saving?
In previous years the end of Daylight Saving was welcomed as an opportunity for an extra hour’s sleep – a guilty pleasure that lasted for a couple days until the bodyclock caught up with the new time.
It doesn’t work like that any more.
The kids wake up when their body-clocks tell them to, and they wake for food. So, this morning, the clock said 5:15 am when Bella woke up and decided that she wanted some company, and that meant she should wake up her little sister.
Great.
On holiday Becky and I bargain – one does nightshift, the other does morning. So it fell to me to drag my sorry arse out of bed and get them into the lounge before they woke anyone else up (we are currently on stopover in Napier).
I feel short-changed. And tomorrow I imagine we’ll be up early for the trip to the beach. So no sleep-in, again.

yep, same here. 4am this morning for us.
I’m sure as soon as the kids have to get up for school or whatever it is going to be the opposite and we’ll spend all morning trying to drag them out of bed. I just can’t understand anyone not loving bed as much as me. Given the choice I’d spend all day there.

Great advertisement for having children there guys.
Mind you, I have been woken at 5am by a cat pulling books off the shelf because his bowl is empty, so I understand.

I was awake at 4 am because I’m odd.
However, I’ll try to keep this in mind next time there is an “AWWW!” post in here again. :-)

And I’m awake at 4:24 (here on the other side of the world) again! Sigh.

Those without-child have no excuses for not knowing, now. This is less of an advertisement and more of a Public Health Warning.
You’ve been warned.
