I always have trouble with this...that "spring forward" means we set our clocks one hour forward...sounds like getting up one hour earlier? Okay. I'll deal with it!

Sunday at 2:00am to be precise, but you can do it before you go to bed.

I still hate DST, I am not alone, even the National PTA has asked for its repeal, as well as USA Today founder Al Neuarth .

No matter what I do, I always end up getting this wrong. I wonder how many people are going to be late to work on Monday Morning.

Spring forward
Fall back

I usually try to think of a person jumping up (springing forward) and getting ready for the day cuz they are running late (cuz they didn't set their clocks forward), and I like to think of some one falling backward in bed (because they get that "extra hour" of sleep). It's silly, but it helps me remember.

I really hate having to set the clock ahead, losing that hour will make me tired for weeks!
