Fitted Sheets
I know you are looking at this picture and laughing already! But wait --- let me tell you how aggravated and frustrated I became over folding this fitted sheet. So it all began with my wonderful husband piling two sets of sheets on top of the dryer once they were dry and leaving them there for 2 days before I found them. So then I found this "easy" tutorial on Pinterest (a new venture of mine) and thought --- "hey, I might can do this!" So I take the sheets to the extra bedroom where I think I will have more room to work. I worked toward success with that "easy" tutorial and was so confused in the end that I gave up and this is how it turned out! Needless to say, we will have clean sheets but they will be a bit wrinkled!

Make Up the Bed or Not Make Up the Bed
To my Mother's horror, I am posting a picture of my bed on any typical day at the Hill House. Yes, my mother would strongly encourage my brother and I to make up our beds each day growing up. Yet as I got older I was able to slip by here and there and get away with not making it up. I hated making up the bed. Now I don't mind it as much as I just don't take the time to do it.
So now that I have shared my little secret, let me tell you my dilemma in my head over this. Do I make up the bed or not make up the bed? As the one who typically jumps out of bed, gets myself a shower and dressed and then turns around to get my daughter dressed, I do not always have time in the mornings to go back and make up the bed. Another reason in my head is I am just going to get right back in it in about 12 to 14 hours so why bother? For some strange reason, when visitors or our parents come for a visit, the beds are typically made up. Why? I have no idea. Maybe because I am guilty with them in the house if I don't. Maybe it is because I want to put on the appearance that I have everything together in my house, which those close to me already know otherwise. So why?
I know that I cannot be alone in this bed dilemma. Do you think most people make up their beds each day? Why do you think is the biggest reason people do OR do not make up their beds each day?
