I have blogger's block. I have come to write a post several times over the past weeks and I end up just pressing the red X in the top right hand corner and doing something else. I just haven't felt it...but I wanted to cover up my my last post because I was sick of it. Still...nothing to say.
So hmmm...I guess I will just tell my bed...out loud for all the world to hear (because we all know the world reads my blog) that I love it and I couldn't ask for more. It is soft and inviting and just brings me such joy. I can't thank my bed without thanking my pillows as well. I have the PERFECT pillow...one of which I am scared to lose. I went looking for a duplicate at the store the other day but no such luck. I am worried I will have to train my neck, shoulders, back, and cheeks to love a new pillow...so stay with me as long as you can pillow I have now. That is the one I lay on...but I also have one I hug. I have never known what to do with my hands and arms while sleeping...so I solved it by hugging a pillow...and I hug it all night. It is kind of a hassle when I switch positions...but I guess it is my "lovey" I have to have it. On top of those 2 pillows I also surround myself in kind of a "nest" or maybe "barricade" of about 5 other pillows...they are all very necessary and have their special duty...all of which makes for a very pleasurable night.
Where is Josh in this picture?...we usually feet cuddle...once in a while our feet will meet in the middle of the bed...say hello...and then go back to our respectable sides...that is what I love about a King size bed...you can totally disappear and then go visit your spouse when you want to.
Over the past month my bed and I have spent a lot of time together...waaaayy too much time...but I must say that she was a good companion and was patient with me through the hard times.
Last night as I snuggled into the cuddley-ness and just felt like I couldn't get any more comfortable the image of Africa popped into my head. It might be because that actress from Roseanne (the one that played her sister) has a commercial where she was asking me to adopt a child...well it must have gotten to me because I just thought how lucky I was to have my bed. I said a prayer right then for how comfortable I was. I thought of the people in 3rd world countries who go home to a wood shack and lay on the ground. During the day I bet they never say "Well, I am going to go relax and take a little nap"...and then snuggle into luxury. I just got caught up in how incredibly different my life is from theirs and how I take that for total granted...I am beyond incredibly blessed and I am so thankful for my life. I have everything I NEED and most everything I want...so spoiled...so lucky...so blessed...I hope I can remember this when I am boohooing about the bumps I experience along the way...I have it pretty easy...even when it seems hard.

Oh man, I hear ya! I have learned to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE pillows this pregnancy. Wait let me back up a minute...I have always loved pillows...2 to be exact...and cold, that's the best! However, I love pillows all around me now...supporting my belly, cuddling with, laying on!
P.S. I hate watching any of those sad commercials...its just so depressing. I wish I had all the money in the world to send them. It makes me sick to see the way they are having to live, I hate it! And its even worse because they are children...I'm getting sad just typing this. I guess we just always have to count our many blessings...wow, we are soooo blessed!
you are cute! haha africa made me laugh. And King size beds are the best- can sleep by myself (even if we have a little guest too). I love your blog even when you have nothing to blog about :)
Your pillows need to get with my pillows and give them some lessons. We're having a hard time over here. I just bought another one for Brandon..hopefuly it will do the trick. Anyway, yes, good post. We are all so blessed. Amen.
I always thought your bed was a boy.
I saw that same Africa commercial in Twin and had to change the channel because I was about to cry. So sad. Yet, there are a lot of good people out there trying to help so that's good too.
I have fallen for a pillow. It is a body pillow that fits between my knees and under my face at the same time. It has a lime green micro fiber pillow case that is so soft and snuggly. Then I have a regular pillow designed for side-sleepers. And I love plunging my head into that one. Then I have a thinner one that I nestle under my ribs and belly. I only recently started doing this because of the preggie back aches..but it is heaven...except I get all organized and settled and then I can't move. Poor Cody, our bed isn't a King size, so the pillows sometimes take over his side of the bed too. Or they end up taking over my side and I roll over into Cody's side. I don't think he has gotten a full nights sleep since we got married. hehe.
Hi Laura! Totally funny that you wrote an entire post dedicated your bed and pillows. I loved this part "...you can totally dissaper and then go visit your spouse when you want to..."
We do have a lot to be thankful for don't we. Even when our bumps seem hard, we are still very fortunate.
And, I love my bed too. :))
OH Laura, thank you for the simple reminder of being grateful for the things we take for granted! I just woke up from a wonderful nights sleep, and I feel so good and refreshed! I love that you and Josh play footsies in the middle of the night and then go your seprate ways. Keep blogging...just because anything you say is entertaining! I still want to hear about Carter's popcorn kernal-there's something for your next post! LUV YA GIRL! Hope you're recovery is going speedy!!!
