A LONG time ago, I bought Paul one of those clocks that sets itself when you plug it in. For the most part, it's been a good little alarm clock. 363 days of the year, it does what it should. But the problem with this alarm clock is that it still hasn't received the memo from congress that daylight savings starts earlier and ends later than it did 7 years ago when we bought it!
So, today (and this has happened before) we woke up at what we thought was 7:00, got ourselves ready, all the while ignoring all the other clocks in the house that said it was 8 or 9 something. I remember thinking, "Why are we the only family walking in to the church right now? We're on time!" Once we got into the church building, we could hear the speaker in sacrament meeting and finally realized our mistake. How ANNOYING!! Ah well, it was an innocent excuse for missing sacrament meeting, which admittedly is one of my top 5 least favorite hours of my week! "Wrestling the tiger" that is keeping Charlie quiet is not super fun. At least we did attend sacrament mtg last sunday with my parents, and then attended the other meetings today.
Whoops... I think it's time for a new clock!

Yeah Jen and I did that the first year of marriage when we rushed got to church the hymn had already started, so we rushed in and sat down. There were a few new faces, but it was a student ward, so that wasn't too unusual. It didn't really dawn on us until someone got up and said the closing prayer.
We were an hour early for our meeting, but were there for the end of the ward that met before us. I can't remember if we stuck around till our ward started or not.
That's as good an excuse as I have ever heard.
