Mrmmmph. This happens every year, right around this time. Summer is over, biking is over, sunlight is over. There is little daylight, and my internal clock just won’t reset. Maybe it will improve when we change the clocks at the end of the month.

So, right now my day starts after I put the kids to bed. It is dark out, and I am ready to go. So, I do some work, watch TV, have some snacks, and then bang! It is like 2am. So I force myself to go to sleep, knowing that full well I should get up at 6am.

Well, it doesn’t get light out until like 7:30, so, I can’t get up. 7:30 rolls around and I am already late, need to get up, get cleaned up, make breakfast, pack lunch, wake up my daughter, get her ready to leave, leave. We are supposed to leave at 8 - but lately it has been 8:20, takes 20 minutes to get her to school, where she arrives late at 8:40.

And then I get to go to work. Must have coffee.

After work we’ve got activities almost every night of the week. So, either run home and make dinner then go, or sometimes they have dinner there. Then get home late, put the kids to bed and start all over.
