Well I had a whopper of a Fibro moment! Woke up thinking, "well it must be about 6" .....which is usually when I wake up. I get the kids up at 6:15 to catch the bus at 6:50

I have a digital clock....D I G I T A L

Got potty, brush my teeth, take a shower, ......wake the kids up.

I'm rushing around to get breakfast, reminding the kids they only have 10 min. left before they catch the bus,

Then...

I look over to check the time. It's 5:40 Not 6:40 But FIVE FORTY!!!

I sent the kids back to bed.

And all this time I'm thinking, "it must almost be time to turn the clock back....it's still dark outside'

G!!!!

Aw, sweetie, I'm sorry that you lost a good hour of sleep, but you know what...this will be a great, funny story to tell in the future, when it doesn't hurt so much :)! Gotta laugh, right! Hugs!

Poor kids, but they will get use to it. LOL We deal with fibro fog then we enter perimenopause, menopause then postmenopause and we dont have a chance LOL

Better early then late.

Dixe-my TN sister.....I am still rolling in the floor! LOL! How did the kids react when you told them to go back to bed? Would have loved being a fly on the wall. Lord, I am still chuckling!

Oh, I needed that! Thanks for sharing. That will be an awsome story to tell your grandkids about you and their parents.

Thanks for the laugh! I've had several of those moments myself!

Tonna, I would love to go with the flow and say they were mad LOL, but to be fair to them I have to me honest:) They are the greatest kids! They understand , poor ole mom :) , and they just shook their heads, smiled and went back to bed:)

When they got home from school today I went on and on about how bad I felt and to make it up to them I was going to let them sleep in as late as they wanted to tomorrow.....teheee:) ....(There's no school tomorrow:)

I have seen times I would kill for an hours sleep. But I have done the same thing. Espcially before or after that dam time change.

I did much the same the other day while at scrapbooking camp. My phone had a bit of a mental attack during the night and reverted back to 1980 so I had to reset the time without having anything to compare it to. When I awoke the next morning I assumed since everyone had left I had probably missed out on breakfast so I rushed to get ready and headed to the crafting room.
Heaps of people were crafting but the kitchen hadn't yet opened for breakfast so I was relieved thinking it must be about 7.45am and not 8.45am like I'd thought.... but I was more wrong than I could've imagined - it was actually 6.30am and I ended up doing approx 14 hours of scrapping because I was up so dang early!
