Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

on
Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

Day Light Savings Time Wreaks Havoc on Families (#DST)

on
Sunday lunch

Today was the first workday after Day Light Savings Time started and it was a struggle. In a word, we have been off since yesterday and are struggling to recover. We went to bed late on Sunday night because we were punch drunk on the day's sunshine. It's been so cold and dreary here that 35 degrees and sun felt like a heatwave.


What happens to a working mom when the sun shines in Pittsburgh


The kids and I went out and enjoyed the day. We went shopping, had lunch and prepared for the baby's upcoming birthday party. Because we had a big lunch we got a late start making dinner. But we had a good time laughing and cooking. It didn't feel like it was 9:30 when we started to go up for bath time, but it was.  When Monday morning came, we were all cranky and tired. It took an extra effort to get out of bed and make it to work and school. It's going to be tough until we get back on schedule again. However, if Day Light Savings Time means longer days, sunshine and warmer temperatures, we'll take it.

Still, I can't help but wonder if there is a better way to enjoy the change of seasons without having our lives disrupted... According to the NBC Nightly news lots of people struggle on the Monday following Daylight Savings Time. I'd love to hear your stories.

Any other families struggling with Day Light Savings Time? Perhaps we should get a petition going?!
