Any one else dreading the clocks going back?

[TheGoddessBlossom]

Remember how we used to love it, an extra hour in bed? Try telling a 1 and 3 year old that actually it's not time to get up yet...

Had all these plans to let them stay up really late tonight to try and offset it but typically was desparate for them to go to bed at usual times!

And DH cleverly picked tomorrow for his lie in...

lou i am

my 2 woke at 4.30am..........

i put them to bed late

so did i!

oh lol

DD woke at 7am new time which is fab for her as she has been getting up at 5.30am!

I put her to bed late last night and at normal time tonight so we will see how things go!

I however have been in a terrible mood as I hate winter and it makes me feel really down to know I will be driving home in the dark again for the next 4/5 months

5.15am new time

They managed half an hour snooze in the car at about 11am though.

DD2 went to bed at 7.30pm tonight and DD1 has just gone up so fingers crossed we willbe back to 7ish tomorrow!

I stupidly put my LO to bed at 6 tonight thinking it was 7 old time, instead of 5 old time!!!! Doh! How stupid am I? Especially as she gets up at 5.30-6 am anyway and so will no doubt be up at 4ish tomorrow.

Must remember 'fall FORWARD!'

DSs will be up at 5.30 now instead of 6.30. Hurrah.
Actually I forgot about the clocks going back and put them to bed at 8 as usual, forgetting that it's actually 9 body-clock-wise. No wonder they were so tired.

Lindyloo, 6 tonight was 7 old time.

Was it? I am sooooooooo confused!

oh it's spring forward and fall back isn't it? God - I am losing it big time!

I know, I always have to really think about it. Wish they'd do away with it altogether.

DS has been up awake at 5:30 the last 2 mornings, instead of his usual more civilsed 6:30. uuurrrgggh, this is not nice!

DSs were up at 5.55 this morning instead of the usual 6.30 - 7am.

DD was awake this morning (Mon. at 5.45 a.m) instead of her usual 7.15. Agghhh. V tired this morning but am in work and going to get big coffee to wake myself up. Will it be this time tomorrow morning as well. Has been faithful to 7.15 for about 6 months now. Couldn't cope. Put her to bed last night at 6.45 thinking it's really 7.45 and she didn't have her afternoon nap.

ds1 was up before me this morning , but that's not unusual

i had to wake the others up for school tho

I don't mind the change this way round.
I don't change the clocks till about mid morning on sunday - when I've had a chance for caffeine to kick in, then it makes it seem like I've got loads of time to do what I need to. Plus I don't get that grimness of feeling like you are up earlier.
I don't do mornings.

Obviously ds was up earlier than usual today but didn't matter so much cos we had to be up and out anyway.

ah ha - we were teribly clever (or so we thought) - we decided to put our clocks back mid morning on sunday so that we could make our weekend last longer without making our night shorter. This was and still is a brilliant plan except that DD was horribly poorly over the weekend and so all clock noticing was out of the window.

i have just noticed the post below me

Hmm It never really bothered DD1 when she was little as she slept 8 til 8( not any more tho)

DD2 however whom I have only just got sleeping thru to a decent time (6am) is now waking at 5 as she is wont to do when teething. I am so sick of 5 am starts to the day.
I have never found keeping them up to work, they just go to bed late, get up at the same time and are crnky all day.

Farking clocks going back

Hmm, that would be cranky

The child I am fostering is now waking at 5.30am instead of his usual 6.30. Which is okay because so am I. I have found in the past that it takes nearly a week before our internal body-clocks adjust, a bit like jet-lag

vampire - that is a great way to handle the hour back! i will remember that for next year!
