Time change= Torture for parents


Ok, this is a really old photo, but we feel just as tired now as we did in the first month. How long does it take for the babes to adjust to the time change? We are a little tired of seeing 4:30 in the morning...long before the sun rises, before the paper arrives, before Morning Edition, even before the dog wants to be fed. We feel blessed to have a good sleeper, but if anyone has advice on how to get her to sleep in, feel free to let us know your secrets.

I'm not one to self-diagnose, but I was convinced last week that I had myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune disorder that causes neuromuscular weakness) because I couldn't keep my eyes open past 8 pm. Alan rightly pointed out that everything else was working fine but the eyelids. Is is legal to call in tired to work?

If the Mother's Helper was valium, the Working Mother's Helper should be amphetamines!

Oh, the time change is definitely a terrorist plot. Even our cat is messed up.
