When Rod and I were buying a bed, we settled on a Queen size bed. We tend to sleep right next to each other, so there was no point in getting anything bigger. However, we did not calculate into that equation 2 kids, 2 cats and 1 Minnie Mouse.
2 HUMANS+2 KIDS+2 CATS+1 MINNIE MOUSE=No room in our bed.
We always start out with just the two of us. And then Charlie hops on up. He gets sick of sleeping at around 3 a.m. so then starts mewing to be let out. Rod of course, is oblivious to this, so up I get to boot him out the door. Usually, Lola does sleep with her buddy, Ellie, but as you can see (above) she sometimes prefers our bed (lucky us). Mia usually comes in sometime in the middle of the night, armed with her Minnie. She likes to sleep with "one leg in one leg out" so the blankets usually get pushed down and some people (me) end up FREEZING!!! And on this night, Ellie had a bad dream so clambered in too. She has been crowned Champion Kicker and Elbower, so when she gets in, I get out. Explaining a black eye when you work with a bunch of social workers is not ever a good idea. Yes, it truly is a miracle that anyone ever gets any sleep in this house.
(I feel like I need to clarify that Rod's wrist bandage is the result of a work injury. Although the sleeping situation in this house is enough to make anyone grab a razor!!!)
