There's Something Amiss

Last night my mother called me.

"We are so excited about your Lazy Mom Radio Show!"  *Pause*  "Hey! What time is it?"

I glance at the clock which reads 9:52pm and decide to round up, "It's 10 o'clock."

"Oh," she says, "It's 10 o'clock?"

"Well, it's 9:52."

Confusion rang in her voice, "What?! When did it get moved to 9:52??"

"Uh, I was rounding up when I said 10 o'clock, it's really 9:52 right now." Now I was confused.

"OH! No, I was talking about your radio show... what time is THAT, not what time is it right now?"

*insert laughter here*

"My radio show is at 10 o'clock."

"Your time?"

"Yes, 10 o'clock Eastern."

"Oh no. I don't think any of us caught that.  We've just been telling everyone to listen in at 10 o'clock! You should probably clarify that on your blog."

"Mom, I've been saying it's at 10 o'clock EASTERN.  You do know what E-S-T stands for, right?"

"So the show is at 9 o'clock our time? I'll have to tell your Daddy. I don't think he caught it either.  And I don't think your sister, your Aunt or anyone else did either for that matter.  We've all been saying 10 o'clock."

*insert lots of laughter here*

So.  I thought I should clarify to the rest of you what time my Lazy Mom Radio Show is on Friday.  That pesky little one hour time difference between Ohio and Texas has thrown off the Texas peeps in my life, so who even knows what it's done to the rest of you'ns.

Pay attention!!

*taps ruler on desk*

My show airs this FRIDAY at 10am EASTERN.  Which makes it 9am CENTRAL for you Texas peeps that called me last night wondering what time it is.

This also makes it 8am MOUNTAIN, and 7am PACIFIC (and yes I had to look up what you West Coasters call your time zone).

Everyone on the same page now?

Can we all go on with our own little time zone lives?

Am I in an episode of the Twilight Zone?

Does Oprah still have a TV show?

Is Barack Obama still president?

Am I still going to Muffins for Moms at my kids' school next week?

I feel like my world is spinning.
