PJ ISSUES.
How do you like the new template? I couldn't help myself! It's still not exactly what I had in mind but it'll have to do. I saw a really nice template that I WISH I could have, but it's one that I have to download to my computer, then unzip and edit, then upload. Too complicated! But I so wanted that layout!
So I have a few quirks that I want to share with you today, tonight, whatever time it is where you are.
And tonight's grooming session inspired this entry.
Okay, here goes…
I have to wear matching pajamas.
*Hangs head*
You're probably thinking...SO? Well, for me, it's different. I cannot fall asleep if my top and bottoms don't match. Also, it's washing day on Sunday. So when Monday rolls around and all my pajamas are in the laundry basket, waiting to be ironed, I will iron them first. I will not go to bed with wrinkled pj's.
My sister always says, 'But you're only going to sleep in them.' In that exasperated way that she has.
And once I do get to bed. I can't sleep in an untidy bed.
I have to smooth the sheets and covers and lie perfectly still beneath them, so as not to rumple them. I sometimes try and convince myself that I should go to sleep and forget that the top blanket is sliding off the bed.
I can't do it. I'll get up and make the bed and then get back into it. Then pull down my pant legs that have somehow crept up, to bundle at my knees.
My mom tells me when I was a little girl, and my dad was away (as he was from time to time, the army and Special Forces) I'd sleep in her bed. And during the night I'd wake her up, and ask her to 'make me right'.
That meant to pull down the legs of my pj's that had crept up during the night, and straighten the top part of the pj's that had become twisted as I turned and rolled throughout the night.
Then, ever so carefully, I'd get back into bed, so as not to mess up my pj's again.
I can remember that.
I also remember, on weekends we used to get up at 5 am, to go watch cartoons, and we (my sisters and I) would wake her up to make us some porridge. And she NEVER complained. Try waking me up at 5 am on a weekend. I'd probably go mad.
My hat off to all you mother's out there.
It doesn't end there, no.
I will only use the same brand shampoo and conditioner. Same goes for facial products.
I don't really know why to tell you the truth.
So I'm always left with little amounts of shampoo standing around cluttering up the bathroom, because as soon as the conditioner is finished (it usually is before the shampoo), I'd buy a new bottle of shampoo and conditioner.
And I apologize if this was as a boring entry and I think it is!
