The other day I read a little snippet about useful ways to spend the extra hour we 'gain' from moving our clocks back tonight for Daylight Savings. 

Very noble, caring, character building ideas in how to better ourselves our family and fellow man. I panicked all the way through the bullet point list from ten all the way down to one. Great ideas but not exactly realistic. 

GREAT ways to spend the extra hour.

*Starting a community group to feed the poor...great.
*Giving your spouse a 60 minute massage...great.
*Cutting, crafting and hot gluing Autumn goody bags for each student in your child's entire Elementary School...great.
*Addressing your Christmas cards early this year...great.


REALISTIC ways you will probably spend the extra hour.

1) Pinning really awesome homemade Christmas recipes that will never come to fruition....realistic.

 2) Mindlessly scrolling through your Face Book news feed....realistic.

3) Searching for that must have, lost uniform jersey for the 9 o'clock Sunday morning game...realistic.

4) Watching your new favorite NetFlix show...realistic.

5) Sleeping...realistic.

6) Hitting the snooze alarm several more times than planned while pretending you had extra time despite the fact you went to bed knowing your smart phone changes the time for you...realistic.

7) Applying a severe mom tax while kids go through their very chocolate heavy Halloween stash...realistic.

8) Sitting in the back of a nice quiet, dark closet eating 10 mini snickers from the tax already mentioned....realistic. 

9) Burning 2 whole batches of pumpkin seeds set on high broil cause you didn't think scarfing 10 mini snickers would actually take that long to unwrap....realistic. 

10) Hinting to your spouse you would really enjoy a 60 minute foot massage but settling for a full 3 minutes and sweet kiss.....realistic. 

11) Sitting on the floor criss sauce playing dolls, cars or reading a few extra books with your little ones...realistic.

12) Catching up on house work, emails and kids forms sitting in that pile on your kitchen counter...realistic. 

13) Having a nice long phone conversation with your best friend, mom or another relative who lives far away...realistic.
