elegantlion Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Due to the time change, will you alter your starting time at all? Please tell me I'm not the only one. We start about 30min - 1 hour later after spring forward. We do that for at least a week to acclimate ourselves.

Nature Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 We'll start about a half hour later too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 No, for two reasons. One is that 3 of us have light colds, and so we all slept in this morning instead of going to church. We changed our clocks today, and it doesn't feel any different than any other day. Second, I don't usually get started with lessons until later in the day, usually after lunch. So the time we get up in the morning won't make much difference. The kids get up when they wake up, and I get up when I wake up. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I voted other. Our day was totally thrown today so we're taking tomorrow off! Dh surprised me with a day off tomorrow so we're just gonna hang out. The rest of the week will be normal start time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootsnwings Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I voted "No". We're on spring break this week. And our normal start time is 10am so I don't see us "needing" an extra hour to acclimate ourselves. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I voted no. I feel like we already start too late and now I'm sick. One of these kids (all healthy now) gave me their cold. Once I'm up and being miserable, they can get up too. :D That and eldest has spring break this week, and we better get everything done we can while I don't actually have to leave the house. I'd like to get ahead on some things and catch up on others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenKitty Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 No, we will start at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejane Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I voted no because I think of the adjustment like I think of pulling off a bandaid: just get it over with, quick and painful. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecj98 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 No, DS has speech therapy twice a week at 8 am, so I need to get us on the new schedule pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dulcimeramy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I voted no because I think of the adjustment like I think of pulling off a bandaid: just get it over with, quick and painful. :D :iagree: Also, DH will be still looking for supper at 5, taekwondo will still start at 6, and Civil Air Patrol will still start at 7. I can't start my day later unless I find a way to start my evening later, too. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I loathe Daylight Savings Time. Pick a time and stick with it! It's a rough adjustment for my body clock. However, it worked out well for us this year. We school year-round & are taking this week off :) So I voted "other". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Our starting time is later than most, so we don't need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakia Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 We just start whenever we want to anyway, so it probably won't affect us much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It actually coincided with our week off so voted other. I need the break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I voted no, because we usually don't start until 11 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynyel Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 *sigh* We don't have a set time. We start after we wake up and eat breakfast. So that will technically mean later but not on purpose. We will eventually get back to getting up early. The it will start staying light out later. I really hate the time change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I work and don't get to start an hour late - so our schedule remains the same. DD takes an 8am college class; we will leave the house together at 7:30am as every Monday. Although I suspect some of the students will forget and sleep in.

Daisy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yes, we are starting later and I've kept this week a bit lighter. We have a horrible time adjusting to the change. Every year it is torture. So this time I just gave in and said forget it. LOL. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country Mouse Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I WISH we could start later, but with all of the outside activities for the week we have to keep to our regular time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I work and don't start late. My girls go to ps once a week and don't start late. Now after saying, that my dd10 and I both have the flu and dd6 has a cold. We may not start school at all next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 While I guess that technically you could say that I'm giving my kids "spring break" this week, we're just really going to be learning other lessons: teaching my dd to finally ride a bike, taking the dog to the dog park daily so she realizes she can't take on every dog there is, taking lunch supplies for the week to a member of our church with a new baby, etc. All great lessons but not necessarily written in any curricula! Plus, the spring in Central Arizona is SHORT so we need to get outside while it's still PLEASANT. :^) (Oh, and by the way, we're the only state in the Union that doesn't observe Daylight Savings Time.)

stephanier.1765 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I voted no because I think of the adjustment like I think of pulling off a bandaid: just get it over with, quick and painful. :D :iagree: This morning was surprisingly easy but I'm sure we'll be feeling it tomorrow.

KS_ Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Due to the time change, will you alter your starting time at all? Please tell me I'm not the only one. We start about 30min - 1 hour later after spring forward. We do that for at least a week to acclimate ourselves. I voted no because I don't plan on starting later, but my ds is very slow to wake up most mornings, and so I'm expecting things to move even more slowly for a couple days at least. I'm still going to push (gently) for the normal starting time, but we probably won't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I said "no," but then, we're on vacation this week. Oh yes, I am so crafty ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 My PS child still has to be at school at 7:00 which used to be 6:00 last week so I got up at 5:30 this morning which used to be 4:30 last week. Needless to say, I am tired. I think I would have been better off staying up all night to reset my body clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarlaB Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yes- it will likely take a week for us to adjust to time change. DD7 slept in until 9:15 :D Of course, DS3 was still up at 7:30, but I was happy to let her sleep in. I have littles, sleeping in is still novel. :) We started school at 10:30 and finished by 12:30 and had lunch at 1pm. Yep, just an hour late all around. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakereese Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 No. I actually thought we might need to, usually that hour messes us up for a week, but it didn't this time. At least, not yet. I could have used a nap today, but that's not happenin'. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Nope. We will get up at the same time (via the clock) and be adjusted to the new time by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Other. We started later today, mostly because I am fasting coffee and it is kicking my rear. Tomorrow we have co-op, so we'll be running our normal schedule. The rest of the week I am out of town, so the kids are off of school.

laurad1125 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I voted yes, because we started 30 minutes late today but only because I overslept. However, the day went so smoothly despite the late start, that i may give it a go tomorrow too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 We always start school late. Today actually went an hour later for everything from waking up to starting school. It has been a crazy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
