Making the Bed

Sweetbay magnolia · ‎04-14-2013

Silly me, I think. If the beds are not made the day is not complete - but does it matter? I really don't like doing the chore.

For most of my adult life I did not (make beds). Then I phased into, wow, this looks good! Now, again, I do not care. Should I? Do you?

(of course I regularly launder the bedding - maybe that will be the day the beds get "made").

And yes, I understand that this is a small thing. But why live a life, if the small things cannot be appreciated, when one has the ability to do so?

Yes, the bed gets made every day. It bugs me if it isn't.

I can't get into an unmade bed. Lol. When we stay in a hotel, I don't make it, but I straighten it out. My husband is the same way

@Sweetbay magnolia..... this is a question of priorities.... it is a choice.... I rarely make my bed .... it doesnt bother me.... if someone sees it and it bothers them, I consider it their problem.... I guess I go by the old saying " dont sweat the small stuff"....

I make the bed as soon as it's empty. I cannot stand looking at or getting into an unmade bed.

I make it on the day I change the sheets!

Other than that, I don't care if it's made. It looks better made, but it isn't a big deal to me.

Now, to my husband, it IS a big deal, so he makes it every day. And it looks good. If he didn't make it, would I? I'm not so sure.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Beds are always made

Unless I have had tons and tons of water the night before I make up my bed as soon as I get up then go about and do my "business" then hit the coffee pot.

I'm OCD about making the bed.

I can't think of any day that I haven't made the bed in the last ???? years.

Yep, I vote with the BEDS ARE ALWAYS MADE! It makes my bedroom look nice, and when you go to bed at night, it's nice to turn down the comforter and sheets and a nice neat bed helps set the tone and prepares you for a good nights sleep................
