This morning

So this morning I wake up, exhausted of course. I haven't been sleeping well, tossing and turning. I want to go back to sleep but I just can't seem to get comfortable. It's then I realize, it's the monthly turning of the mattress event. For those of us poor folk who don't have the bed with the memory foam or numbers we get to sleep on the springy-I'm sinking and I can't get up-mattresses. Of course for a big girl like myself, the sinking is more like the Titanic going into the ocean. So I know if I'm going to get any kind of sleep I need to rotate the mattress. Yep, rotate. Not flip the mattress, no there's no more flipping of the mattress. Now these mattress companies want to put these pillow tops on the mattresses. Pillow tops that only mean, there's just a bit more cushion on the mattress to sink into. The underside is just a flat surface that looks a lot like the underside of the bed spring, hmmm...Anyway, being the fact that there's no way to flip, I have to rotate the mattress oh boy what a pain in the you-know-what. When you have a small room like mine, you tend to pack it full of furniture to suit your needs. In doing that, it makes it incredibly difficult to rotate a full mattress. I end up knocking stuff over or knocking down pictures off the wall. But if I want to get anymore sleep, it has to be done so I get up and toss the multitude of crap I had on my bed, including a few crochet projects I've been working on. Luckily the cats are eating their breakfast so I don't have to disturb their sleep because the good Lord knows, if I disturb their sleep there's no living that down. Since I'm turning the mattress I might as well change the sheets and comforter. Now that's more laundry I have to do but who am I to complain? So I take off the sheets, remembering I have those little round things that are supposed to keep the sheet attached to the mattress but I generally end up finding them behind the box springs or on the floor so what good does it do? Or course I end up putting them right back on with the clean sheets thinking that maybe this time it'll work. *sigh So everything's done clean sheets and pillowcases are on, the dirty ones of course are dumped out on the floor because they're not going to fit in my hamper since its full. Note to self, time to do laundry. I arrange my pillows all nice, put a clean sheet on the top of the comforter for the cats so they don't get hair all over my comforter. I sit down and it feels much better but then I realize, all this work has basically waken me up and I can't go back to sleep. It figures! So I guess that means I have time to do laundry...that's just how it works out. It's The Little Things in life that make that little voice in your head say, isn't it great how things work out? And It's The Little Things in life that make you want to bash that little voice's head in so you can go back to sleep.
