Don't forget to turn back the hands of time tonight before you go to bed. Daylight Savings Time ends tomorrow morning!

For years and years this was my favorite night of the year. Working moms are always 'on', sometimes running the sweeper at 1 AM. Making lunches at midnight, because the Girl Scout Troop meeting ran late and homework and baths had to be finished. One day a year I knew I had an extra hour and for a few weeks I kept one watch and maybe the car clock on the 'old' time so I could enjoy having that hour.

I used to turn all the clocks back one hour the night before. Now many of them turn themselves back making them two hours behind the old time. So I get confused again in spite of trying to get ahead of the game!

That's when you give back that extra hour of sleep you got last October!
