Why is it the smaller you are the proportionately larger share of the bed you use. We have a lovely queen size bed that has suited us fine, but recently with Aliya sneaking between us every night it seems as if there just isn’t enough square footage. I suppose Rob and I aren’t exactly as slim as we used to be but with Aliya only being 20 lbs how is it she uses 35% of the bed? Madison at 50ish lbs takes up another 25%. With the remaining 40% of the bed left I take the lions share and poor Rob is left with hardly and bed or covers at all. The other night I looked over at him and his arm was on the night stand and his leg was holding up the wall. At least we know it won’t fall down on us at night. I think it is time Aliya moved to a crib and Maddi starts using her bed! Or, we can just upgrade to a king size bed. My reservations with this are, in a room that barely holds our queen bed, how will we fit in a king. Now a king size bed in the right room, such as my parents or mother in laws room, no problem, but in our room? I am not sure we will be able to walk. And my second problem is the most important, I have finally and painstakingly accumulated 4 sets of good quality high thread count sheets in size queen. You know the kind that you slip into and instantly melt. The pure luxury of it. I don’t think I could ever go back to 200 count standard sheets. I mean you spend so much of your life in bed shouldn’t it be heavenly? If we move to a King bed I will have no good sheets. I don’t think I could take that kind of misery. So for now we will all squeeze into our bed with limbs hanging off the side, Aliyas foot in my rib and Madison laying between our legs but at least we will be between the most comfortable sheets.

ReplyDeleteHi,
I just read your review on vacation rental is was great.
Did you ever watch the Watsons on T.V.? I can see one day of you having a show once a week from your blog. Please keep your blog going - it is the start of my day. What a nice way to start the day off.
