I just read this article by Jamie Lee on Baby Center about the toll the daylight savings switch can have on a person. All I can say is, AMEN! Jeez. Jon and I have been like two ships passing in the night since last weekend. Both tired, both grumpy, both out of sorts. And Evelyn--well, I don't need to tell you that things have been tense this week. She's sleeping poorly, asking for bottles all night long, waking up and crying, refusing to go to sleep at all, throwing fits. I thought it was a mother-daughter thing. But now I'm going to blame daylight savings time and, in turn, the entire federal government.
So thanks, government, for ruining yet another fun thing: sleep. I'll just take my ball and go home now thankyouverymuch.
Do they have DST in the Netherlands? Maybe I'll move there. Then I can bike to work and wear wooden shoes and pick tulips all while saving no daylight whatsoever.

In other news, in this week of sleep-crazy-madness, Jon has taken on a huge undertaking of organizing an art show to benefit Japan's disaster relief. The show is called "heARTs to japan" and will be featuring artists from Colorado and around the world. It will be held at INDYINK, 84 S. Broadway, Denver, CO, on April 29. The art will be auctioned off and prints and t-shirts will be sold for a flat price. All proceeds will go to the Buddhist Churches of America and the Red Cross to benefit Japan.
So, go Jon! And if you are so inclined, "Like" his Facebook page (www.facebook.com/fortunecookietattoo) for more information, or tweet with the hashtag #hearts2japan to build support. And spread the word! It's going to be awesome.

Arizona doesn't have daylight savings either, and then you wouldn't need to hassle with visas.
p.s. go jon for being all generous and thinking of others.
