Time

The time change usually messes me up but not enough to make me late for things...until today. I depend on my eternal clock more than I think and when my body is not sure what time it is it messes everything up. I know the time change isn't just messing me up...

A week from Sunday (November 4th) we turn the clocks back, so I am going to start complaining about it now. I HATE THE TIME CHANGE! And even though it makes us feel well-rested for about three days until our bodies adjust that doesn't compensate for the MONTHS OF DARKNESS AND DESPAIR.

A survey from Daily Mail by a British car insurance company found that parents, on average, spend 75 minutes a week sitting in their car, waiting to pick up their kids from some activity.

If you could get an extra 15 free minutes a day, how would you spend it?  In a new survey from Minneapolis Star Tribune, the most popular answers were . . . classic gender stereotypes.

I was visiting with my parents today about New Years and I discovered that they stayed up four hours later than me. What? They are both like 23 years older than me, so I was shocked! To be honest I kind of felt like a loser.

If you ask any parent, at least any good parent, they'll tell you the same thing:  Once you have kids, those kids OWN you.  And here's just how much they own you. According to a new British survey, the average parent only has 93 minutes of free time a day.  And that's not 93 minutes in a row.  That's 93 minutes grabbing a few free minutes here, a few free minutes there. Here's how the average pa
