Have you ever had one of those moments when you absolutely were a dork? Well, I had one this morning. Even my mama, who loves me dearly, called me a goof ball. Let me stop right here...everyone is aware that last night was time change right? I know it now, but the fact escaped me earlier today.
I went to bed at a reasonable time last night. I knew I would have to get up and get a move on because I was going to meet my friend for church this morning. I rolled over and stared at the clock (which said 7:13am). This seemed like a ridiculously early time to get up on a weekend. I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep, but I was already awake. Darn. I finally crawled out about 7:30am (or so the clock said...lying little electronic device).
I went about my morning routine...wash my face, get grossed out by the over-grown-ness of my eyebrows, jump in the shower, you know, the usual. After my shower, I got back in bed and noticed that I had a text message waiting for me. Unfortunately, my friend picked up some nasty food poisoning and wouldn't be meeting me for church. I noticed that the text was received at 7:23am. I didn't remember hearing the beep but sometimes I miss it.
Now, I'd like to say that this was the point in which I remembered about time change. I could have had a nice laugh and gone back to bed, but nope. I continued getting ready for church...totally unaware. I was half way to church when it dawned on me that it was time change the night before. I was going to be an hour early to church. Darn...again.
About that time, I had a horrifying thought. It was the weekend and I had willingly gotten out of bed at 6:30am. Darn. Darn darn darn. Also, now I had some wacky time to kill. I didn't have enough time to make it worth going back home. I'd get there and have about ten minutes and then I'd need to leave again. I had too much time to just drive around for a little bit. I'm cheap and gas is expensive. So, what to do? I went to Walmart. I needed to buy groceries anyway.
So, blogger friends...learn from me. Go set your clocks back an hour!

You are not the only dork you know. I forgot too except I was still at home when I remembered, or I would have been at church an hour early, wondering where everybody was. I still didn't get any response about Thursday.
Nina: I just wish I'd remembered the first time I woke up! Glad to know I wasn't alone though. :)
HA! so sorry!! One time when we were little my Mom did that with the "spring" forward and we got to church as it was ending!
ooh-that IS early. I once went to work an hour early....then again I once went to work on my *day off*...sigh....
We remembered, but my mom forgot. She wasn't early to church, but she did rush around thinking she was going to be late!
Well I will join you in that dork club! The ONLY reason we figured it out is because Mary called us. Thankfully! I guess I live such an isolated little life that I hadnt heard anyone mention it, nor did it occur to me. Now how my husband missed the memo is beyond me! We need to get out more I guess! hehehe
We remembered, which is good, since I had lots of guests scheduled to be at our house for Meghen's party at 1:00. I'm not a fan of the time change thing really ... I do wish they'd get rid of it as they've discussed doing.

I've never done that, but I have heard of others, so you aren't THAT dorky Steff!! It sure makes for a fun story!
