Spring Ahead


This week was daylight savings week.  On Sunday, we turned the clocks ahead an hour.  While I love my sleep, I was thrilled to usher in the season of longer days and warmer weather.  The longer days have started...the weather is right around the corner.  Unfortunately, every time I turn time ahead, I realize that we "lost" an hour.  Then I look at the boys and realize how precious that hour can be.

March Madness - Every 8th grader chooses a college and spends the month preparing items for their college/university.  It starts with a pendant and ends with a presentation to the class with details of your school.  W picked Boise State (I think he secretly likes the Smurf Turf!).  W and I spent the afternoon shopping for necessities and he came home and spent the evening making it perfect. 

While I was watching him, I got to thinking about H's March Madness pendant.  I swear we made it yesterday.  Really, we just made it.  It was for U of M and he was so proud of it.  Now, W's in 8th grade, making a college pendant and H is trying to decide which colleges to apply to.  Where did time go?

I really want my hour back.
