Spring ahead lose an hour of sleep

Spring ahead an hour, when it’s not even spring yet? Who’s bright idea was this? I know in Italy they set their clocks ahead of when we did here in America by a week. I found this out when my niece BabyBoo lived in Italy. Im not sure what other countries did it before us as well but this year we’re ahead of them.

I am also not sure when it was voted that we change from the First Sunday in April and the Last Sunday in October to Spring ahead and Fall behind to the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November. Confusing? Absolutely.

This day is just flying by and I am not happy about it. It’s my day off. I realize it’s a 23 hour day as opposed to a 24 hour day but that does not explain the speed at which this day seems to be zooming past me. I used to love DST and couldn’t wait for it to start. But this year, my normal joy has been replaced. I’m not happy, it’s not Spring, it’s too early in the year, it’s just not right.

I set my clocks ahead earlier in the afternoon yesterday so it wouldn’t seem like such a big change. But it has, and Im not sure why. Hopefully it won’t work out the way they think it’s supposed to and we’ll return to the normal Spring ahead and Fall behind routine that I have come to know and love, and finally have figured out.

Get out of your own head.....

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

Monster Juice Spray pussifying our children?

Today someone posted a cute little story about a pharmacy that prescribes a Monster Spray to children that have monsters under their bed. They spray the spray before bedtime, under their bed and it makes all the monsters go away. A little six year old girl used it three times before she was sure all the monsters were gone. I find this story absolutely adorable. I think it's wonderful that this pharmacists does something so kind for small children with big imaginations. I think a little magic in this world is just what a lot of child need. The response from one woman totally had me stunned. She said it's crap like this that is pussifying our children. Really? Then she went on in another reply when asked what one has to do with the other to say her daughter was bullied and what are they going to make next, bully spray? (They do make a bully spray, it's called mace!)  Her daughter had to graduate early because of bullies. Okay, what does her daughter being bullied have to do...

Sometimes..

Sometimes the emotional pain becomes too much to bear. Sometimes the emotional pain feels like it's going to consume us. Sometimes the emotional pain is so overwhelming that we need a physical pain to release it before we lose ourselves and who we are in it. Not everyone can understand this, I get that. Not everyone can look at someone with scars that were self inflicted and say, I see your pain. Sometimes, we hide those scars under our jeans so no one will notice. It's not for attention, it's for release. Sometimes we dull the pain with alcohol, sometimes we dull the pain with drugs either prescription or illegal. Sometimes we smoke too much and talk to loud. But we find our release to keep us alive. We are survivors with our scars to prove it.
