Why????

Okay-I am awake.  It is 7:29 day light savings time which means in my body it is really 6:29.  My question is why did the powers-that-be have to change the month in which daylight savings time is suppose to start.  Ever since I have been on this planet, daylight savings time would start somewhere in the month of April.  It was a signal to all that summer was approaching.  Children, mine boy included, spend hours after school absorbing the fresh air .  Parents from all over did not share in their children's enthusiasm.  Homework and even simple things like eating dinner become back-burner to the need to soak in all the extra daylight for outside activities. 

As I gaze outside my window at this early hour I am thinking.... that this is the time of day that Ben will be going to the bus stop and it is still pretty dark out there.  In fact, this is the time that many children walk to school.  So-to gain a little bit more light at the end of the day means that the start of the day is darker.  If the time change was returned to April when our portion of the earth was a tad bit closer to the sun and the warm stickiness of summer, the day would start off with more light.  I don't quite understand why they messed with what was working.  Thanks a whole lot powers-that-be!
