Make Your Bed

7.21.2010 • in the evening

Do you make your bed every morning?
50% of the time? always???

That is one thing I am guilty of not doing, my mother would get so irritated with me, even as I kid I thought why make it? I’m just going to undo it when I get home.
JR is a neat freak, and yes I am VERY thankful that I didn’t marry a slob again, he keeps me on my toes because although I’ve always kept a clean house, I was never one of those “put it back where you got it from” kind of people, not right away, I would eventually hang clothes back up or put up my toiletries a day or 10 later...but with JR that wasn’t going to cut it.
I didn’t want to admit I needed to change *ahem*, but over time his ways grew on me and it helped that he never said anything, I just hated to see him picking up after me, and his side of the bathroom counter always looked neater...and he’s a guy!

These days, after almost 5 years(YAY!!) I’m close to being reformed, the laundry gets done and put away in one quick swoop, dishes don’t linger in the dishwasher once they are dry, my closet and dressers are organized, and it all makes my life so much easier. Who knew?

The one thing I am still not good about is making the bed, I’m usually the last one to get up so it should be easy to do right? get out of bed and make the darn thing...but I don’t.
I do make it before going to bed, I’m a weirdo. I make sure the sheets are all smooth and tucked in just right, the pillows are fluffed, the duvet and top sheet are just so...then I get in bed and all is right in the world.

I’m going to make an effort to make our bed in the morning, and having gotten a new bed will help me, we had a California King before and it was like running laps to get from one side of it to the other.
The Queen size should be no problem.

I’m about half and half I guess. Depends on how big of a hurry I’m in when I leave in the morning. If I know I’ve got company coming over, I’ll come home on my lunch break from work and make the bed and tidy up. Otherwise, nobody sees it except me and the cat.

50% of the time.  Our room is upstairs, so nobody ever sees it. nervous

That is the one and only thing that I always do.  Probably because it’s the easiest.
