"Don't forget it's daylight savings time. You spring forward, then you fall back. It's like Robert Downey Jr. getting out of bed." -David Letterman

I woke up this morning, as I do any morning. I was up at 2AM.  Then 3:30AM. Then 4:20AM and finally at 5:30, I got out of bed.  I grabbed my Caf-free Diet Pepsi, ashtray & cigarettes, sat down in my recliner and turned on the t.v.  Good Morning America was on.  "That's odd", I thought.  "Is there a national emergency of some kind? What are they doing on this early?"  Then I saw the clock on the t.v.  6:36AM?!?  I should be at work by now! 

I swear, I almost passed out.  I started sweating. I was pacing...didn't know which direction to go in first.  I grabbed the phone & called the most fabulous Director of Worship to let him know....I was running late.  For the first time in 35 years, I forgot.  I forgot to "spring" ahead. 

I made it to work by 7:15AM.  Who knew I could get ready so fast?  I'm not sure my makeup is on right. I may have missed an eye.  Am I wearing deoderant? Are my shoes the same color?  Do I have pants on?

Damn daylight savings time.
