Okay a few years ago my wife purchased one of those automatic setting clock radios. Since the date that daylight savings time has changed her clock had to be set back manually this year..... ;)

Sunday morning my wife and I get up and my wife is happy...... the puppy dogs let her sleep later. It was the first time in months she had slept until 8:30 am. She felt really well rested for the entire day.

Monday morning the alarm goes off at 6:30 and we are up. I am not feeling quite right...... the house is cold and it is still somewhat dark outside.... but we are up. :redface:

I attempt to focus my eyes (without my glasses) at my watch and it is 5:45??? :confused: Now I am thinking my watch had broken and why hasen't the heat come on (automatically at 6:00 am it comes on). I decided to get the glasses and looked at my watch again...hmmmm checked my cell phone too and sure enough it was before 6:00 am. I just started laughing when I realized what had happened. My wife felt foolish. :p

We went out for dinner this evening and she realized that her "wonderful extra hour" from the dogs on SUnday had been a lie!!! :rolleyes:

Life's little belated April's fool joke that I didn't do!

Yup,
Driving home from work this morning and the Harley Davidson sign was off by an hour.
I had to look at the cell phone to confirm it was only 2:30 AM.

Gotta love those changes that don't always update.
