Spring forward, Fall back we are having DOUGHNUTS FOR BREAKFAST!
Or as Boo calls it ‘American Breakfast’
Yesterday we drove four billion hours to visit Moo for half an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras.
{translation: We drove to the city to check out Moo’s new pad and we didn’t even stay as long as it took to get there before Boo was pacing up and down the hall saying ‘we have to go home now’. If it wasn’t for that 20 minutes of watching Toddlers and Tiaras with my baby girl I would have said it was not worth it cause those women make me feel like an AWESOME mother}
On the way back we went to pay homage to all that is Apple at Chadstone Shopping Centre and then swung by Krispy Kreme for Boo’s Choice of Sunday breakfast – a dozen doughnuts.
I woke all confuserated this morning and while hobbling to the loo tried to work out that if my phone said it was 8am was it in actual fact 7am or 9am and what time does my body think it is? My bladder is all TIME TO WAKE UP REGARDLESS and I could hear Boo playing Atari in the next room so it could be anything from 1am to 4 in the afternoon.
I hate the start of Daylight Savings.
I spend the entire day wondering what the time is and whether that clock has been changed and freaking out about having to get up early the next morning because SCHOOL STARTS and OF COURSE Boo spent the first week and a half of the 2 week break getting up at the arsecrack of dawn and the last 2 days wanting to sleep in.
I don’t know if I have mentioned but hate the start of Daylight Savings.
But apparently this post is about breakfast and not the fact that some fucker in NSW decided that this weekend was the perfect weekend to start Daylight Savings because he is going to just sit around all day watching cars drive fast and drink beer and clearly doesn’t have school aged children so here is a picture of Boo modelling our breakfast doughnuts and I will pin that shit on pinterest so it is all legit.
🙁 still breaks my heart when I see that scar on his arm from when he broke his elbow.
Do you fucking hate the start of Daylight Savings or are you one of those ‘morning people’ that think it is awesome to get up an hour earlier than your body wants to?

I fucking love that we dont have daylight savings here in WA 🙂
WORD. I’ve only just trained the twins to sleep in to 8am after a year of 6am shiz. Buggered if I’d even acknowledge daylight savings at this point, even if we did have it here in WA.
hate the mornings love the evenings.
Want a KK now….
Well at least i didn’t have to change any clocks! Thank fucking god lol We don’t have any in this house …. Now give me a bloomin donut god damn you!!
I love Daylight Saving. I am home from work before the full force of the summer heat arrives. Some clients don’t have air conditioning, try to vacuum in 35+ Celcius heat.
Daylight savings sucks hard at the start. Also I am now totally craving donuts, for dinner.
NZ started daylight savings last weekend, while we were away – at the *start* of our school holidays, proving once again something about NZ vs Aus.
But we were in Melbourne when that happened, and we flew back on Friday, so now we are all trying to recover from a THREE hour time difference. At least school doesn’t start tomorrow, we still have another week. But hubs is back to work tomorrow & 4yo was up at 2:30am feeling cold & lonely so I’m still grumpy about it. 😉
I’m not a fan of daylight savings, but I’m used to it, so that’s okay. I always change my clocks the night before, when I’m going to bed or just after dinner, that way the adjustment is lessened or less of a hassle anyway.
I am a big fan of Krispy Kremes though. Is Boo willing to share his breakfast? Pretty please?
I fucking hate daylight savings, totally agree with everything you said. In fact I simply hate getting up in the mornings. And I was blessed with a child that is awake at 5.30am every god damn morning. He wonders why he is an only child, imagine if I had another kid and they were the same early risers, it would be the death of me.
Daylight savings time is of the devil and the people who like it are his minions.
*sigh*
I love mornings.
But I hate, how much my boys, hate school mornings.
So school mornings suck.. except for the promise of peace…
Well we don’t have daylight savings here in Queensland, but husband’s eyephone changed by itself (his fault) and he woke up and made me coffee at 5.30am. Oddly enough I took a sip and went straight back to sleep!
Let’s not go into why he was making me coffee at what he thought was 6.30am ON A SUNDAY!!!!
absolutely loathe the mornings, feel like i wake up upside down and turned inside out – and no amount of coffee could save me this morning
until it gets warm in melbourne (which at this rate might be never) i don’t really like the evenings all that much either
hmmm……is there a pattern here?
enough of my dribble, i’m exhausted, don’t know what time it is, and now i want a doughnut…
ps. scars make me sad too 🙁
I love daylight savings, but I hate hate hate that they have started the night before school goes back. As if it isn’t hard enough to get back into THAT routine!
Urgh daylight savings can kiss my arse.
The start of daylight savings is the devil. But, more importantly, how the fuck do the phones and the computers KNOW, how do they KNOW? Before going to sleep I made hubby put his 1980’s bedside alarm clock forward an hour so when we woke up we would know, the clock never lies. So we wake up and BAM! The clock, the phones, the computer, they all say the same time… that is some freaky shit man. Like some little dudes come in to your house in the middle of the night and re-set the time on your laptop and phone. I just don’t get it. At least I caught onto it this time. Every other time I change my phone and then I end up an hour out and very fucking confused.
Oh, and I totes heart Krispy Kreme’s, did you see the Rocky Road one? Or the fairy floss one? Or the POPPING CANDY ONE? Wowsers. x
I have to add that I don’t come here with the intent of writing a long-arsed comment that appears as if I’m just having a conversation with myself, your posts just bring it out in me. And now I’m hungry. Sheesh.
I have to admit I love daylight savings, and I loved the fact that it meant that Mia was waking up at 7am rather than 6am. I know it’s not really but because I go to bed so bloody late anyway anything extra helps. I am one of those weird people that doesn’t even seem to notice the change, and thankfully Mia didn’t seem to either, although she did go to bed quite late tonight. But I can’t really blame a 10 month old for that now can I. Can I?
I hate that we don’t have daylight saving here in Qld. I’ve been awake at the crack of fucking dawn lately – and I’m not even working any longer. Shit! I could be sleeping in til god knows when! (But no… I’m awake before 6am every friggin’ day!)
PS. Some of those Toddlers and Tiaras mothers are REALLY scary!
Are you kidding me?! There is ANY PARENT ALIVE who like daylight savings??! There is nothing good about the start of it, where you just lose an hour and straggle around for a few days trying to get acclimated. And the END of it, where you would like *just once* to sleep in for that extra hour, is non-existent because your children wake up at whatever time their little bodies want, which is generally ESPECIALLY bright and early the day daylight savings ends, so that children who normally awake at 6:30 pick 5:45, and NOW IT’S 4:45, THANK YOU VERY MUCH PRESCHOOLERS!!!!!!!!
Also, I cannot get my head around how this works globally. You just started daylight savings today? And ours is over on November 4. Which basically means it’s totally impossible to figure out how time zones work, because at some point, one crosses that magical line into the other half of the world and then it’s not just another hour, but two hours, or maybe minus one.
All of which is to say that I haven’t had any coffee yet this morning (it’s 8am here now), and this is really hard–but I offer you lots of sympathy.
Oh God, I thought other countries were smarter than us and have banned that stupid-ass Daylight Savings shit.
Yeah, when are they having it this year? AFTER Halloween, of course.
Daylight Savings makes me irrational, I hate it that much.
Yay! DOUGHNUTS! And also, FUCK daylight savings time!
Man, you’ve made me want KK’s AGAIN!
I’ve spent the last 24 hours bitching about hating daylight savings. Every year I do the same thing for the whole time it is daylight savings. Because I HATE IT that much!
I have a whole hour more of kids every day because it freakin sucks trying to retrain them to be tired at 7.30pm when daylight saving finishes.. not to mention having to cook bloody dinner by the time the clock says, and not being able to go off how light it is outside.
I kinda wish we did have daylight savings here. Because who the fuck can I talk to on Twitter after 7pm now?!?!?!
Daylight Savings time doesn’t start for the good old US of A until the first week in November. I don’t care for the practice of DST at all. Lived in a state here that didn’t do that and we just had the same time and it was good. Then moved to an Eastern state and they do this thing that messes us up for a few weeks and gets me frantic in the fall (which already has me in it’s grip of winter blues) doughnuts sounds great! We did Pumpkin Pancakes. Was told by some NZ folks that pumpkin is a vegetable there… here it’s all of a succulant sweet dessert and breakfast situation.
I HATE daylight savings!!! I have a 3 year old. She is finally at a point that she is able to sleep in, but getting her to bed with the sun still up is a nightmare!!!! I realise that it would still happen without daylight savings, but really… I don’t understand why we have it!!!
You were in Chadstone. I was in Chadstone. On the same day. I feel like i came close to meeting someone famous. Though I know how it would have gone, I would have spoken at you for about ten minutes straight saying how funny you are, then you would have looked at me really awkwardly, then I would have fallen to my knees to convince you that yes I really do think you are awesome, and you would have backed away slowly, then I would have done an interpretive dance as my last desperate measure to show you that I’m not a nutter I just like what you write, at which point you’d be looking around for security, and while you were doing that I would have tried to pick boo up and tuck him under my arm and run away with him as I very much want kids and he sounds so damn awesome I’d like to steal him. then we would have both gone a bit crazy with all the daylight saving so you’d have to come pick him up. Lucky you missed me, really.
hate the start of it, lve it once I’ve adjusted. Weekend before chool goes back tho????? I BLAME BARRY O FARRELL
