Bagel's new bed, or lack there of

I have realized that Bagel likes to sleep anywhere but her bed. Always on the floor, depending on the mood. Most of the time it is right behind her bedroom door.

Now for the longest time, this would enrage me. Yes that is a strong word, but I was just furious that she couldn't just sleep in her bed. She has a nice bed, not to high, the box with the drawers underneath, and a book case behind.

So after months of Bagel leaving her bed, minutes after I put her in it, and curling up behind her door, I should explain, her room is a regular squarish size room, 14x16 pretty big for a tot. But the doorway, is kinda at an angle... no not on a angle... um... ok, like if you were to walk in straight you have about 3 feet, and then there is a wall. You have to turn to go into her room, and there is kinda a mini hall to her room. She love to sleep there. So I caved.

Funny thing is I hated, and I still do hate, sleeping in a wide open space. Unless my head is covered. So she doesn't like to sleep in the big room, but in the little space. Hmmm... lot like her mommy. I tried looking at Target for one of those tent beds, but I can only find the most gigantious tents for her room. I need to find her one, or the Cabbage Patch doll one I had as a kid, I know my mom gave it to me... maybe the attic?

Either way, after realizing today, after months, that she is doing just what I would do. I set her up with her big fat comfy new comforter that Aunt Frances got her for her Baptism, and her big fat feather pillow, with flannel cover. ALL the babies should could find, and of coarse her Glow Worm right next to her.

It's hard for me I have to be SO QUIET Because her door, and our door, share a corner. So Spaghetti and I are in discussion as to where we are moving Bagels bed, and where can we find a tent bed. Until then, camp Bagel will be set up in the corner!

And as she says to me each night "Snug, as a bug, in a rug, Mommy" then lots of whispering about how much she loves me, and that I am beautiful, but before I run for the nearest mommy pageant, I am told that "Daddy, and Spike, and Ding, and Dong, and Thing 1, and Thing 2, and Bagel are all so pretty too. OH and so is Gow worm, and Sara (my old Cabbage Patch doll) and Jammer, and Bert, and Ernie" thanks kid...

Manic Monday. Fast traveling, lemon hair.

What was the first thing you thought when you looked at yourself in the mirror today?

Not bad. I've had this hair cut for 3 months now and I still love it. Good thing. Wonder when I will dye it again...

Do you have a recurring nightmare? If so, explain.

Not so much of a nightmare, but I always dream of traveling. Fast, usually I just make the train, plane, car. It's usually night time. And I always travel with Spaghetti, and we are almost always going to visit our parents. The kids are never with us.

List three foods you can’t stand:

Lemons.

Ate Lemon pie one time in H.S. got the flu. barfed Lemon pie for days. Lemon just ain't the same since.

Tomatoes.

Just tomatoes. I love ketchup, and salsa but not just tomatoes.

Broccoli.

Spaghetti eats it all the time. Gag. I make it all the time for him. After years I am finally not gagging as much over the smell.

Manic Monday

How long does it take you to get out of bed in the morning?
That all depends on the kids, and what time I actually crawled into bed that night. If the kids let me sleep in, 9 am ish is what we are looking at.

Otherwise, it's usually 8ish.

Getting out of bed, usually isn't to hard, I am more of a morning person, so I roll out pretty fast.

Do you usually sleep on one side of the bed or another?
With my dear Spaghetti working nights, I claim all the bed to myself. When he is in it with me, he takes the wall, and I get the outside (yes our bed is up by the wall. We pushed it into the corner. WAY more room to walk around) since I get up with the kids, I get to have access to getting up first.

Something you wish to accomplish before the end of the year:
Organizing this house. It won't happen by end of year. But it's a goal to keep working for. It took me 5 years to make this mess, it will take more then just a few months to clean it all up.
