Yesterday was clean sheet day

Don’t you just love clean sheet day??

You crawl into bed at the end of a long hard day

And snuggle into crisp clean sheets

Or are you a ‘multi sheet set person’ who puts a clean set on the bed as soon as you pull the dirty ones off?

I gotta say, I’m a multi sheet set kind of girl. I like to get the old ones off and the new ones on and the bed made up ASAP. No hanging around with an unmade bed while the sheets are in the wash…

Ever since I can remember, I’ve made my bed first thing in the morning. I think it sets the tone for the day.

Years ago, a friend challenged me to leave my bed unmade for 1 day out of the week. You see she was worried that she was getting too compulsive about having to have her bed made every day. So every Wednesday was ‘messy bed day’ at her house. She just left her bed unmade on Wednesdays.

I guess I’m okay with compulsive….

How’s a person supposed to deal with that?
