daylight savings is kicking my butt

i thought i'd be adjusted to the time change by now but it's been an entire week and i still feel like i'm 80 years old when i get up in the morning and i'm tired right now. uhgh. don't get me wrong - i'm all for daylight savings. i love the longer days! and the lighter evenings are a must. but geez! naps have become a daily routine around here. not the 'sleep-too-long-so-you-wake-up-feeling-groggy-and-you-can't-sleep-at-night' naps. these are the 'right-on-time-twenty-or-thirty-minutes-tops' power naps. even Oprah recommends those kinds of naps.

so what's the hang up?

maybe i am getting older after all... to the point where i really can't eat anything past 7 pm or stay up late to watch the free DVD that the Baptists left on my door knob. maybe i really do need to retire at 9 o' clock. wait, wait, wait! that's no solution. if i start going to bed that early i'll start waking up at 4 in the morning. i definitely don't want any of that. but i can't keep waking up after a decent-night's sleep feeling like my eyes are the fridge and their lids are magnets (and strong magnets at that)! it's a lousy feeling. so what am i to do? i don't know. perhaps you may have some ideas. but please, none that have to do with boiled raisins, frozen Q-tips, or Coast brand soap - the scent doesn't really open your eyes. it's a buch of baloney!

I recommend baloney.

so, in that case, is it actually saving? Should we do as the Romans... or, I mean, the Arizonians and keep the same time year round? What do you say?
