Making the most of falling back

My nephew was being baptized Sunday so it meant all four of us had to get up, dressed and out of the house and to church by 9 a.m. No small feat. So, Dan got up early to get his run in and I figured I'd run later in the day.

I called my mom at 7:30 to tell her that I didn't have her camera (she thought she'd left it at my house). I found it odd that she sounded sleepy. Then she said..."um...you know it's 6:30, right?"

"Huh?"

"It's daylight savings time...we fell back an hour...it's 6:30."

"Are you SURE? huh...OK, well, then, I guess i have time to run...sorry for the wake-up call!"

This morning, alarm rings at 5:15 a.m. I groan and roll out of bed.

My husband says, "What time do you have on your clock? I said...it's 5:15."

He says, "No, you forgot to set your clock back. It's 4:15."

I said, "Oh, my God...that is so awesome" and crawled back under the covers for my bonus hour.

So, I got two days of benefit out of one extra hour. Not a bad deal.
