Yesterday I found my bedroom floor. It's been missing for some time now. When Nate got home from work he found me laying on our floor playing on the computer. Because I could. I've had laundry everywhere. I have literally been doing laundry non-stop since our camping trip. So many blankets. So I have had piles of clean and dirty laundry everywhere. But yesterday I made some serious progress. And in the process of cleaning my room, I changed my sheets and made the bed. I'm not a big advocate of making the bed. In the morning I can barely get myself out of the thing and get myself ready for the day, let alone make my bed look pretty. But last night as Nate and I went to bed, I realized just how good a freshly made bed feels. I should do this more often! (On the rare day I do make my bed, I just can't fight the nap and then I mess it up again, so really, I'm just saving myself a step) Growing up, my mom made her bed every day. Without fail. The only times I haven't seen her bed made were on Black Friday and it was three in the morning and my dad was still in it. And as soon as we were done shopping, she would come home and make it. I think she's on to something...
So, will I make it today?

I love that feeling, second only to new clean sheets on the made up bed!
AHHHHH.. fresh sheets!! I can't sleep in the bed if the sheets are all twisted!! :)
I never make my bed either, and my mom is the same as yours with bed making. So, how do we teach our kids to make their beds if we don't make our own? I have spent the last 6 out of 10 days in a hotel room where the "little fairies" come and make my bed, and I loved climbing into fresh tight sheets! Maybe I need to vow today to climb into a fresh bed every night. But in all honesty, I'm sure it will be 3:00 in the afternoon before I get around to making it! Better late than never!
Love the new family photo at the top of your blog by the way! You are the cutest mom! Your girls are so lucky!
wow! that was a long comment!
I have to make my bed first thing when cleaning my room. Preferably with clean sheets. Unfortunatly that is about the only time I do it! I guess I should clean more!
