Ready to face the future

The fall time change is one of the best Sundays of the year. That extra hour of sleep certainly helps — although you can count on certain families to still be late for church!
 

Wibbly-wobbly

Ever since, say, March 13 or so, time has been completely weird. Can we all agree on that?

Tell you what I want, what I really, really want...

Time with the kids? Check!

I think it's going to be a long, long time

Sure. In theory we might get an extra hour of sleep for one night. But in the long-term, just how significant is that really?

Our legislature passed a law last year that would get Oregon out of changing back and forth to accommodate Daylight Saving Time. But it won't go into effect until next year, and only then if it's approved at the federal level.

Things could be a little confusing around here on Sunday!

Veterans

There is a time distortion vortex that hovers over the MTC. The concepts of hours, days and minutes disappear. The days are long, the nights are short, and the weeks never end — until suddenly it's Sunday. And afterward, the interminable weeks turn into a blink.

End times

Remember to change your clocks tonight/tomorrow. Unless you live in one of those places that doesn't change to Daylight Saving Time — in which case, changing your clocks would be bad.

Sweet hour of rest and peace

It's too bad there's not an app or something so you can sync your kid to the clock!

By the way, if you haven't turned your clock back yet, you'd better do it. It may not be as late as you think!

But he's amazing!

 Nearly every missionary thinks his or her mission president is one of the most outstanding people in the world! I know mine were!

Monday Sketchbook: Falling back

No matter which way the time change goes, it always makes me tired!

Wibbly-Wobbly family history

It's kinda true, isn't it?

Behold, I have dreamed a dream

I'm glad we have the later schedule, especially today!

Tick-tock

They feel longer, too!

Monday Sketchbook: The times, they are a changin'

I overheard this very conversation at work the other day.

Yep, Daylight Savings Time: an excuse to be obnoxious!

Savings plan

At work people were talking about how they'll sleep in on Sunday, then try to go to bed a little earlier Sunday night so they can wake up on time to be at work by 8 on Monday morning. Whereas I, on the other hand, get to wake up an hour earlier Sunday morning so I can start meetings at what feels to my body like 5:30 a.m. How is that fair?

Hey, what time is it?

Oh, yeah. Gotta love that time change that helps us get even less sleep! Remember to change your clocks tonight!

I can't figure it out either.

A friend of mine offered up the idea that we should be able to take the time we save with Daylight Savings Time and use it on days we need the extra time. Wouldn't that be nice?

Change can be a good thing

In most of the United States (except for you, Arizona!), it's time to set your clocks back. If you're lucky, not only can you get a little extra sleep, you can be early for church as well!
