A reminder to set clocks back one hour. I certainly do not want to go to work an hour early! Sleep well! One extra hour of sleep!

Oh going to work an hour early would make me cry!! 
I already set my kids clocks back. They were so busy the last few days I'm hoping they get through this change SUPER easy!

I absolutely hate "Spring Forward," but "Fall Back" is wonderful!
Mostly I use my smartphone for an alarm clock, and it adjusts automatically.

I need that extra hour to be bright and shiny for the job I dont like
Europe "fell back" last weekend, and a lot of people showed up an hour early for stuff on Sunday or Monday. Just about all the clocks in our house as well as my watch are radio-controlled and adjusted the time automatically. I only had to adjust the time on our landline.
I'm enjoying it being lighter in the morning. Mowgli needed two days to get used to getting his meals an hour "late".

I've changed most of my clocks already, but I dread tomorrow. I'm convinced the cats go by sun time, so it's going to be a bad day for them - their mealtimes will all be messed up and I will pay the price for it.
I completely forgot about it. Amber started screaming this morning and I automatically dragged my sorry butt out of bed. Came out to the kitchen to check my phone for the weather and it said 5:00. Say what? And then it hit me. Oh crap! So we went about the house, changing clocks around.

I forgot to set my clock back, so I got up at 5am instead of 6am.
It will take awhile for my cats to adjust too, they were all on the bed at 3AM instead of 4 last night, it alway takes them a day or two to figure things out!
Well, it's one of those stupid human things - cats are too sensible to come up with an idea like DST.

My cats love the end of DST. It means they get fed breakfast an hour earlier
To them, it's well past 4am but the clock says otherwise 
Aaaaaand 4:30 this morning and the girls are all in the bedroom going, “Mom? Mom? Mom? Mommom? Mommommommommommommom?”Lily, Iris, and Mocha say

Lelia doesn't care about when she's fed - that's why she's my favorite, but Sparkle was a beast this morning. I usually feed the girls at 6:40 - I wake up at 6 on weekdays and make them (Sparkle) suffer though me drinking coffee first so they don't associate waking up as feeding time (I guess weekends mess that up). 5:20, Sparkle starts, because occasionally if she thinks I didn't give her enough at her night feed she'll start up a bit early.
So I decided to go halvsies. I ended up feeding about 6:05, and then tomorrow I'll push it the other half hour to where it's supposed to be tomorrow while I glare at Sparkle over my coffee mug.

I always set my clock back the night before...when I get ready for bed...And as far as SNOWBALL time didn't seem to affect him YET...

Kind of surprised so many people like "Fall Back." I guess i used to when I was younger but now it means getting home in the dark to me which is kind of depressing since I like being outside and taking walks after work when it's light out
I hate it, too, when it's dark at 5 pm. There's some talk again about leaving DST on all year. This was tried back in the '70s, but too many children got hit by cars while they were waiting for the school bus in the morning darkness.
That's sad
I used to think I would never want the time change to go away mostly because I just dont like change lol. But I am starting to feel differently. I know there would be a lot of resistance from the farming community and other workers who need to be outside in early hours of the day too.
