Making the bed!

So do you make your bed every morning, when you are just going to jump back in later that day? 
I don't ... my mother told me that I couldn't leave the house unless I made my bed.  I didn't but she really didn't want to keep me home from school so she made it. 

I don't make our bed now and thought I was just being lazy, Ken does pull the covers up but I just found out that actually it is a healthy habit to NOT make your bed!  ... WHAT you say???

According a Kingston University study, that while an unmade bed looks scruffy, it is also unappealing to dust mites.  Research suggests that the dust mite can not survive in the warm, dry conditions of an unmade bed.  Researcher Dr Stephen Pretlove says that mites can survive only by taking water in from the atmosphere using small glands on the outside of their bodies. Something as simple as leaving the bed unmade during the day can remove moisture from the sheets and mattress so the mites will dehydrate and eventually die.

I really don't care if the bed is made or not .. yes it looks neater but usually no one is in our bedroom.  I do straighten up the covers since Ken takes them all at night ... he says it is cause he is cold since I run the fan but he sleeps in sweats and a head band ... I can't figure why he needs to steal the covers too!!!

Mother-IN-Law

Watching Everyone Loves Raymond!  .... Marie!  What a woman!!! And Debra ... their relationship!!! And then there was AMY .... a little competition!

How does that have an effect on our marriage???  Your marriage???

Mother-IN-LawS!

I'm a mother-in-law ... my mother was a mother-in-law and that is where I learned how to be one ... I always thought that she loved my sister-in-laws more than me!

Oh but I was so wrong

... my mother never loved my sister-in-laws more than me ...  I really think she loved us all the same.

I love my daughter-in-law the same as my daughter because she loves my son! And if I love my son than I love my daughter-in-law equally.

Ken's Wants!

What do I want?  You got most of it right:  a steak dinner (with carrot cake dessert), Steelers season extended (only if the fantasy football season was extended too), and marital activities every night (bingo).  I really don’t care if I’m independently wealthy, but I would love a job that involved constant organizing.  And no, I wouldn’t want a team – that means I would have to share the fun.

How many of you out there have a trophy wife like I do?  Isn’t it great to have hot, gorgeous woman living in the same house as you?  Eye candy every day!  For those of you who aren’t in my shoes, you have my sympathy.  And Sue isn’t just beauty only.  She’s intelligent, witty, caring, engaging, fun, and on and on…

I don’t have a big house, or lots of money, or fame, or my youth.  But I’ve got a special lady who has blessed me with 30 great years of marriage.  Fellas, it doesn’t get any better than that.
