What to do...

I am actually really tired of the sun not setting until after 8 p.m. Back in Alaska, we would have this problem all summer long but the kids were younger and it didn't seem like such a big deal to put them to bed when the sun was still shinning because we knew it would shine all night long. Now, the kids are older and I like reading books to them and then, all of a sudden, it's after 8 and we need to get our nightly routine going. I am to the point where I pretend Day Light Savings didn't really happen so it's really only 7 and we are right on time. I really wish we (the country) would get rid of the whole time change thing because I'd rather have the sun come up earlier in the morning to help me get up than to have it stay up later at night. Maybe that's just me, and maybe it stems from the time I spent on the island where the sun came up and went down at about the same time all year round.
