Time Stands Still At Our House

There is a clock in our house that we never spring forward or fall back.

I purchased this clock a couple of years ago and as I recall, it was in the 

fall and we set the correct time and hung it on the wall.  The clock has

remained at the same standard time for the past two years.  I have no

intention of changing it come next spring, only to have to set it back

the following fall.

I could tell you that it is in protest of daylight savings time.  It's true, 

I hate losing an hour in the spring only to regain the hour the following

fall.  What I especially hate about the time change is the last couple

of weeks before we fall back in November and it is so dark in the 

morning when everyone is rushing to get the day started.  We have to

turn on so many lights to see what we are doing and it is also that

much harder for us to get up out of bed while it's so dark.  I could tell

you that I am a rebel and refuse to adjust to this ridiculous man made

event, however true that is, it's not the whole truth.  The truth is ....

the clock is way up over the top of the bookshelves in the family room and

I either must climb on top of the chairs and attempt the precarious and

somewhat futile attempt at removing the clock from the wall to change the

time, or get out the ladder (much safer and wiser too) and snatch the

clock.  Getting the ladder means going out the back door, going through

the breezeway and into the garage.  Then I have to remove the ladder that

David has hung from one wall (no easy task for me) and then carry the

ladder inside.  I have a shorter ladder that is easier to handle, but it isn't 

tall enough for me to reach the clock.  That being said, I have decided

to be contrary and refuse to conform to daylight savings time in protest.

That's what we call rationalization I do believe, but I like to call

myself a rebel ;-)

Have a wonderful Sunday!
