making a point

MEMORANDUM TO: NCAA basketball division FROM: sara mann RE: scheduling in future years, please try to be cognizant of particular dates when arranging conference tournaments. i am having a difficult enough time as it is, caring for two small children while my husband has left the state for five nights/six days. (he has gathered with fraternity brothers in chattanooga to watch his alma mater, davidson, secure its conference championship.) must you have timed it so that i lose an hour's sleep on saturday night as well? and then force me to deal with the effects on sunday, as i single-handedly attempt to have us all dressed and out the door in time for church before one of my children is normally even awake? have you no compassion at all? daylight savings time begins in 2010 on march 14. if the southern conference tournament takes place that weekend, you will be hearing from my attorney. you have been warned.
