When Dale and I married, 18 years ago next month, we agree that, "Last one up, makes the bed." This has worked out really well for Dale over the years. At first, I was always the first one up, my job started earlier and I had further to travel. Then we started having children and I worked less often, eventually not working at all outside the home, becoming a full time stay at home mom. Bed making became one of my regular duties. Now, with Kassie in early morning Seminary, Dale is often up before 5 am. Bed making is still one of my daily chores. Ah, but alas, the weekends! Dale is still an early riser, but once in a while I beat him out of bed on a Saturday or Sunday. Today was one of those days. After Dale was up, I returned to our room to find Dale had made the bed, if you can call it that.
This is what I found.
And on the other side of the bed...
Here the pillows are sticking out from underneath the bedspread -- not acceptable in my book!
And where were the shams? Bryson had taken one in the night, convinced it's a better pillow than his own, the other was still in the clothes basket where we keep it for the night. OK, maybe I'm too particular when it comes to bed making, but I make sure the bedspread is down over the mattress and box spring, the pillows are under the bedspread and the shams are returned to the bed. I'll be sleeping in next weekend, taking back my bed making duties. Who makes your bed?

Um, who makes my bed....um, noone. YOu see it rarely gets done at my house. If I am getting company or when I change the sheets is the only time my bed gets made. I love the look of a made bed, I just don't think about it. Shame on me, I know.
Same rule at our house, works like a glove as we both scramble out of bed trying to beat the other! :)
Where did that 18 years go? It seems like only yesterday you were dating my little brother. I'm so glad you married him and are keeping him in line little sister!
