Clear Skies
Maybe one more below freezing night and then, we’re warming up! Very exciting news!
Let’s recap the first quarter of the year: Ice, Ice, Tornado, Snow, Flood, Flood.
We should be talking about memorial stones and benches, but inquiring minds want to know? Do you make your bed?
June-Gonna-Eat-That posed the question and frankly I think it’s fascinating and here’s why:
For the first 10 years of my marriage I made the bed everyday, because I knew it pleased my man. But every morning, he found fault with my mad bed making skillz. And the bed making disagreement set the tone for the morning. Every day. For 10 years.
10 YEARS!
So, I stopped making the bed. And one day, about a week later, Mr. Greenjeans said, “You stopped making the bed. Why?”
And I explained to him, I hated starting the day out having an argument over MAKING THE BED.
By then, I had already conducted an informal poll mostly with men, to determine if bed-making was an important quality in a woman. Results indicated that it wasn’t a deal-breaker. And lots of people start their day with an unmade bed.
And somehow, we got through it. And now? The bed is usually unmade.
What about you?

2008, I will celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary this December.
We used to have a deal, last one out of the bed makes it.
But MY man started making half the bed. His half.
It makes me laugh every time. What kind of person does THAT?? LOL.
