Daylight Savings Time

I hate springing forward.  I mean, I love spring, and moving forward is great and all, but losing an hour of sleep?  Not my favorite.  And my kids?  They're old enough to notice if I try to send them to bed at 8:00 on the first night of Spring Break, and they're old enough to say something about it.  When did this happen?

This is going to be a battle for the next few months: bedtime while it's still light outside.  Luckily, they're going to be baseball-ing so much that they'll (ideally) be completely exhausted and ready for bed.  Right.  Who am I kidding?

B came home today, and has been bouncing off the walls because he's so excited about playing with his best buddy tomorrow.  We have two simultaneous Kid Kountry play dates, so I'm hoping this will work out to where both boys have someone to play with so they don't get annoyed with each other on Monday of what will be a very long week if they don't get along.  I hope the weather works out to our advantage.

Update: I just looked at the weather.  The high is in the 50s, and it's already in the 30s right now.  This does not bode well.  And I'm sneezing.   And B is 10 feet away from me, coughing.  This WILL work.  This has to work.

Since B came home and we were out of coconut milk, we had to go to the store.  I told the boys to pick the stuff they wanted for lunch for the week: chips, fruit, etc.  When I got back home, I realized we were completely out of the lunch items they take for lunch at school, so B made a Costco list for me, and we're headed there first thing in the morning.  We have a bet: I say it'll take less than 15 minutes, and he says I'm dreaming.  I don't know what the terms are for this bet...and that's something that has gotten me in trouble in the past.

It's also why I'm the "proud" owner of New York Yankees underwear.  Why?  Because I don't renege from a bet, nor do I ever step down from a challenge.

While I'm (usually) proud of that fact, I'm split on whether or not I hope the boys take that trait of mine and run with it...

It could get really messy and way more crazy if they do.
