Ain't no more of this here buniness with 3 people sharing a bed no more (Oh, I just started reading a book about a black slave, I have a hard time not picking up the dialect in books.)
Anyway. I admit it. We have gotten into the very bad habit of letting Chloe sleep in our bed. And I pretty much can't take it anymore.
With my body temperature soaring, the last thing I need is one more body taking over my personal space. Plus I have like 2 feet (as in measurement, not like literal feet, but yes, I do have two of those as well) I can call my own in my bed and it is very uncomfortable. I am going to be needing much, much, much, more width than that in these coming days.
In fact, I am considering kicking Don out as well.
Just kidding.
sort of.
So we need to either get rid of one certain pint size individual with curly red hair and a tendency to put her arm down my shirt as she sleeps, or we need to get a California King Sized bed.
I am not sure which one would be easier, but I am pretty sure which one is more affordable.
Well, I might take that back. Depends on how many Barbies I end up having to bribe her with.
21 days to make a habit?
So three weeks time, 3 barbies, I guess this option really is cheaper.
Don said she would do it for a lot less than a Barbie.
A puzzle perhaps.
I told him he doesn't know our daughter very well.
Well I made this very crafty, Etsy worthy chart. I am considering making a few more and starting my own etsy.com business. You will see I drew a picture of Chloe by herself, sleeping in her own bed.And then I stuck a picture of a Barbie on the paper to remind her of the carrot promised at the end.
She also asked if I could include a picture of Mommy, Daddy, which I gladly obliged.
And then, she wanted a drawing of her friend Teagan, sleeping in her own bed.
So there you have it.
If you would like to buy one of these from me, just let me know who you want me to draw. However you will find that all of my drawings pretty much look the same.
Although, I can differentiate between curly and straight hair in my pictures, and the length of someone's legs.
Other than that, the people in the drawings will not vary much.
But I think that is part of their charm. Don't you agree?
Please buy one.
Cause I am going to need some money to buy some Barbies.
Chloe seems to be in on this, because she asked for some tape, to which she applied to my masterpiece and hung it up about three feet high on her bedroom door.
So I would say I am halfway to getting a GOOD nights sleep.
I can't wait.
In other news, I was very happy to see the most delicious orange juice on the planet for sale at Albertsons (it really is "my store.") I wish there was not a limit of 2.Also we had a delightful weekend in St. David, AZ visiting the in laws for Conference weekend. I neglected to take any pictures because well, I kind of stayed in my pajamas all weekend and it was too much work to get the camera out of the suit case.
We had a terrific time though just relaxing, enjoying the cooler weather, Don's parents, and listening to words of wisdom via satellite.
And we are refreshed, renewed and ready to take on Chloe and the case of the too many people in a bed issue.
That is all.

Oy - Will slept in our bed until a few months before Sawyer was born. It took about a week of him screaming, but then he got over it. Lately we were ending up with kids in our bed in the middle of the night a little too frequently. So now we have a mat on the floor next to our bed (it is supposed to go under the treadmill...but why pretend anyone uses the treadmill) and the rule is they can come in our room but they have to sleep on the mat. Will just drags in his pillow and sleeps there if he has a nightmare. Leaving our bed much less crowded.
Is Chloe sleeping in her own bed?
Um, no.
Chloe is not sleeping in her own bed.
The chart remains unfilled.
Unfortunately it is hard to reason with a 3 year old, half asleep crying child that they can earn a Barbie if they go back to their bed.
Erin, I think I am going to try the mat idea.
At least I will have my bed back.
