This morning my husband was rushing to get out because it was already almost 8:45 and he has to make his carpool by 9. The kids were awake since about 7:30 playing with their toys. I was falling on my face since I went to sleep at about 2ish running back and forth to my sonny boy because of his stuffed nose.............anyway, my husband calls me at 9:15: "do you know what time it is?" I looked at my watch and told him 9:15, so he starts laughing and tells me that we were rushing like crazy this morning for no good reason, it's really 8:15!!!! Then I realized that none of the watches and clocks were moved! We totally forgot to change the time yesterday!! Anyway, it worked out for the best because I was able to take a shower and prepare him a normal lunch. It's only 10:17 in the morning and I feel like I've been awake FOREVER!!

We had a similar thing here in Israel a month ago. We totally forgot to change the clock, my husband went to slichos at 5:30 in the morning, and only when he saw the empty shul did he realize he was an hour early!!!

What a bassa!!!

It's always a lot of fun when you forget to change the clock when you go from Summer to Winter.....

But -

When you go from Winter to Summer, and you forget..... oh... we've had those too.....
Not so much fun....

My son woke up at six, went to mikvah, then Yeshiva, found the doors locked... (he really woke up at five.... Surprised

) came back home... and was late! Rolling Eyes

or maybe not... Maybe I thought it was 8:00, but really it was seven when he left again.. Scratching Head

Yes, we did neglect to change the clocks last night. I think for the first time in all the years!

Well you know how they always say you have an extra hour in bed when the clocks go back an hour, well in my case I spent most of the night tossing and turning and ending up only sleeping three hours last night. Oh well I guess everyone else got the extra hour but me!!!! Confused

This is when you realise that winter is really on it's way, it's nearly 6PM and it's dark, helpppppppppp. I hate the winter and dark days. Sad

One year, I forgot to move the clock back on my alarm clock/cd/radio/sound machine which wakes me up. I got to school an hour early..
and when I walked to school, I saw noone walking and I thought it was bec. Im a few mins. late.

It's always alarming to be at work Monday morning and notice that I got such a paltry amount of work done , before I remember we changed the clocks over the weekend and it's time to do the same at the office. Whew, what a relief!

Interesting thing, the radio clock which I forgot to move last year, moved itself this year, so did my computer and cellphone times change.
I only adjusted my watch, I don't have many clocks hanging around in my house and even if I do, I only sit in my kitchen and never look at any clocks. but I can't live w/out my watch.
