spring forward

It’s daylight savings time, and that means that not only am I tired, but I’m confused.  My computer, the clock in the car and most of my watches say it’s 2:20, while the kitchen clock and the watch I’m wearing say it’s 3:20.  It’s enough to make one miss soccer practice entirely (I wish).  But besides losing an hour of sleep, daylight savings time reminds me that it’s time to go through the pile of stuff that is winter outerwear around here.  I think every person has at least 2 coats, a pair or two of boot, several gloves,  a few scarves and multiple layers of sweatshirts.  All of these items are in a heap on the mudroom floor.  Oh, there are the token few that have been hung up, and most of the shoes end up in the shoe basket, but the majority is just an unorganized mess.  So, it’s my job to discard the coats that are either too small or have broken zippers, and put away nicely the ones that can be saved for next year.  I’m sure once I get everything put nicely away, we’ll have another big snowstorm, however, so I’m not rushing over to do it right this minute.
