    If I Could Turn Back Time . . .

    Published by Pam Kessler | 214 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. -

    My husband has a little weirdness about daylight saving time. Instead of waiting for the normal time to change the clocks, he starts changing the clocks on Saturday.

    Morning.

    And not all at one time. Nope, he has to leisurely space his time changing chore out.

    So throughout the entire day on Saturday, I have no freaking idea what time it is.

    When I look at a clock, I wonder if that is the right time? Do I have to add an hour to that particular clock? Take away an hour? If I deduct an hour, but the clock has not been changed yet, then I am really out of time.

    WHAT TIME IS IT ANYWAY???

    Hope daylight saving time is less stressful at your house!

    FYI - some people had commented on my pink hobnail vase the last time I showed it in one of my Valentine decor posts HERE. It is a Fire-King piece and I did a post about it in early 2011 HERE. It's one of my most favorite pieces in the whole wide world.

    Edited - to remove the s from daylight savings time, because my grammatically correct husband has informed me that it is daylight saving time. If only he could be correct in his time change ritual.

      I have to laugh! Mr. Delightful does the same thing around my house but he started Saturday afternoon and didn't finish the last one until Sunday afternoon. On Sunday I had to boot up my iPad so I could verify the correct time. I love this time of year.....it signals spring and the lovely long.........daylight.

      Oh my gosh. I thought I was the only one who had a husband that had such a quirk. Mine does the same thing. We went to town for breakfast on Saturday morning and he is changing the clock in the truck. Then we get back home and it's the microwave. The stove has a clock on it too and it's right under the microwave but did he change that one? NOpe!! This all before Noon or was it 1:00. Anyways I know your pain!! LOL

      That is too funny Pam! I have a project at work that will entail going in two hours early all this week and I can't get it out of my head that instead of getting up at 4 am I will be getting up at the old 3 am. Bad week to work 10 hour days...4 am is bad enough!

      Your vase is absolutely lovely! I have never seen a pink hobnail version. FYI: It's 4:24 CST right now- does that help you? HA!

      My clock in the livingroom I never changed from the last fall change--so I am all good in the livingroom. Wouldn't that drive your husband nuts?! It does mine. Now I just have to remember the time is right after tomorrow--rather than an hour behind 🙂 I think we should just leave the time alone!

      This post made me laugh out loud! Your husband sound like someone I know who is 2 ft away from me...he corrects me all day long!oh and by the way our oven clock never changed I was confused for months..I guess it'll be right on time on Saturday! Unless he changes it.
