next is Dunc's...
and I finish with Coop's.
Go ahead, call me a Virgo, call me compulsive, but there is just something so crisp, neat and comforting about a made bed. Goodnight all.

Sleep tight
I don't know when it started, but for as long as I can remember my bed has been my sanctuary. My parents used to say sleep was my drug of choice. When I was a teenager and my friends were all staying up to watch Saturday Night Live, I had probably hit the sack sometime around 8:30. My first big purchase was a water bed - don't laugh, it was the 80's! And for my birthdays, I used to ask for new sheets & comforters.
So it's not surprising that not much has changed in my adult life. I still love to sleep and my bed must be made EVERY night before I get into it. Some nights I make it just before I crawl into it, but all the same, it must be made. (Probably also why I am pining for a new bed and mattress.)
I have an evening routine. After dinner, I take the boys upstairs and plop them in the tubby and while they soak I make the beds....
first mine (ours),
next is Dunc's...

Funny. I only 'make' my bed one day each week, that day would be 'laundry day'.
And call me a sloppy, irresponsible (I prefer carefree) Aries, but there is something just wrong with teaching the boys that making the beds is fun. The other week, Cooper was positively ecstatic because it was time to make the beds. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Now, you will excuse me while I go to crawl into my rumpled, messy, pillow-laden haven. That is why I love you – we are not the same. :-)
Well Richard, what if EVERYDAY is laundry day...?
I love you too Bryn (you messy freak) :-)
Im with Bryn....and i never thought i would say that. I can be as Obseesed as this description....but i am getting better. The story is particuluary funnyin light of Teddy's request when we went on a search for our new "forever" bed. Specifically he asked; "can we get a bed we don't have to make?" I liked the idea! The rummpled bed works for us....hides sally's hair!!!
