Ack! I Have been Diagnosed with a New Syndrome & 10 Things Tuesday

I can tell it is going to be one of those weeks when I it is only Tuesday and already I have no idea what day it is. Then it occurs to me that I am suffering from PDSTS.

Post Daylight Savings Time Syndrome.

This is not something that I can really deny. I have been doing a bit of research on how to deal with this and I have found that it is something that I can easily manage. Here are the top 10 Things that I can do to recover from PDSTS in a timely manner, if you think you might be suffering as well, please think about implementing some of these things into your day.

1. Exercise…walk around the house several times to make sure that ALL of the clocks have been changed. This helps to avoid confusion as to when you are supposed to feed the family, go to bed, etc.
2. Get plenty of rest…see #1 as to how to make sure that can happen.
3. Diet, watch what you eat…you are going to need some feel good food. I suggest plenty chocolate and coffee ice cream.
4. Pray…pray you don’t run out of coffee before you can get to the store.
5. Organizing your kids activities…give them a bowl of snacks & plant them on the couch with a DVD of  Dora or Blues Clues on repeat play.
6. Get plenty of time to yourself…lock yourself in the bathroom if you need to.
7. Pull out those emergency funds…you are gonna need them when you realize you forgot to make dinner. Pizza is your friend.
8. Trickery…when your kids wake up, tell them it is earlier than it really is and lay down on the couch with them. If you are lucky, they will stare blankly at Sesame Street while you catch a few more minutes of sleep.
9. Don’t overwork yourself…give up all housework until you recover, most likely you are not going to remember why you are standing in front of the washing machine anyways.
10. Humor…know when to laugh at yourself.

I am working hard at understanding all of this. While I think about it, I am going to go grab some chocolate and check my clocks again.
