Monday Morning Quiz for March 13 – Daylight Saving Time
Today we commemorate the fact that:
a. Daylight Saving Time should be abolished because it no longer serves any useful purpose.
b. It’s not Friday the 13th.
c. There will be a snowstorm tomorrow.
d.  Option c is ridiculous – how can you commemorate something that hasnt’ happened yet?
Love, your grumpy Mom










On March 14th, there was no big snowstorm, no day off from school, not even a 2-hour delay, and we still have to put up with Daylight Saving Time and a whole heck of a lot of other annoying and heartbreaking stuff.  Add to that the fact that winter decided to come two months too late, and it seemed that Common Household Mom was finding it hard to dig her way out of grumpiness.

But lo, There Is Hope! This weekend my two older children paid us a surprise visit!  I celebrated by baking Irish Soda Bread.  They celebrated by doing their laundry in my washing machine.

-->
They have departed now, and tomorrow there will be another Monday morning, and with it, a quiz.  I face Monday with a lighter heart, in spite of everything.  Have  Wham-O Day, dear reader!

Your notes/questionnaires are brilliant! The only ones I wrote said things like: "Don't forget your saxophone!!" or "Could someone please clean Muffy's litter box?" or "It's your turn to cook tomorrow night, (insert name here)...".

Wondering what FAFSA stands for - oh, ok, googled it.

Our summer came as late as your winter. Strange.

Have a good week!

I bet your quizzes are so appreciated, such a clever way to start your family's day. You remind me to slow down and make time for the little, special stuff.

I love your quizzes! I bet your daughter loves them, too.
Thank you for being a mom who is still in bed (and hopefully asleep) when YD goes to school. I've been that mom (for YS) and sometimes I feel guilty about it.
