Time Change Update - Nathan blames the government

It's possible that I spoke too soon when I reported on Monday that this whole time change thing, while crazy, isn't such a big deal. Trying to get Nathan up at 6:30am has been a nightmare (remember - on Monday I let him sleep until 7:00am). Yesterday he said his body was still really angry because the government changed the time. I guess if it took at least a week for his body clock to line up with EST when we fell back, I should have anticipated it would be a week long process again.. Trying for super organized mornings it is! At least the Liam's Five AM WakeUp came at 6 this morning...

We're Irish you know

(Among other things.)

Liam is an Irish nickname for William and Nathan looks like the family tree stopped with his Irish great great Grandma Burke, so you'd think that they (or we) might have some Irish pride.

Alas, on this "wearever" day at school, when the kids didn't have to wear their uniforms and could wear whatever they wanted as long as they wore green in celebration of St. Patrick's Day, Nathan's only green shirt (that's not a polo and thus a shirt he can wear to school any day) is a practically brown green. Oh well.

It's a Christian school, maybe he'll actually learn something about St. Patrick today that will be worth celebrating next year. (Not only do his parents have no sense of cultural heritage, we also don't drink beer.)
