The Longest Day

I know it’s technically just an hour longer after the time change, but Sunday really felt about 4 hours longer. The boys got up at 5:00 a.m. (6:00 for their body clocks), and all day long, it seemed my own body clock got further and further ahead of the real time. Ten o’clock felt like 11:00. Twelve o’clock felt like 2:00. Three o’clock felt like 6:00. And, by God, 7:00 felt like 11:00 p.m.

By the time we got the boys to bed, between 7:30 and 8:00, I felt like it was midnight. How is it one little hour of change can totally wreck a person’s sense of time?
