It's only 4:30 and it's DARK

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive December 2007: It's only 4:30 and it's DARK

I really feel so miserable when the days are this short. I feel like I should be getting the kids ready for bed now because of how dark it is outside already.

To me, 4:30 is still kind of early in the day. It really feels more like 7:00.

Oh well, I guess we're just in for more of it.

I hear you Ame, I hate when it gets dark so early.
Although the plus side is that the kids don't argue that it isn't bed time because it is still light out.

I hear you, too! Natalie has really noticed, and keeps asking if it's bedtime.

Plus today was cloudy and gray, too, so it never seemed bright, even at the height of daylight hours.

Agreed, dark here by 4:30 to. It is 3:20 and we haven't had day light all day..

I don't like the change at all. It gets dark here at 4:30, as well.
I can not even remember why we started this in the first place.

Annie, It is not only dark early here but it is getting COLD!!! YUCK!! Winter is the pits.

19 this morning, in WI, but it's not very windy, so doesn't feel that cold.

Yesterday we were dealing with 20 degrees and 40 mile an hour winds. We had to make an hour and a half drive to see my doctor and it was rough driving... And bitter when those winds smacked you in the face.

Yeah, I thought I was ready for winter, especially since it seems like it's arriving quite late this year, but I've changed my mind!

LOL yes me too.... I keep telling myself it will only be a few months, it will only be a few months.. But when I was getting hit in the face with it a few months seems way to long. LOL
