Lump In The Bed

Sheet changing day! I like to help....although Mom doesn't think this is helping!

Sheet changing day is always fun around here.  Mom gets the blanket and quilt or comforter OFF the bed then goes down the hall to the linen closet to get fresh sheets and I hop up ON the bed so I can – er – um – well – HELP finish the process!  What?  You don’t think this picture shows me helping huh?  Well, maybe not but it’s what I do EVERY time Mom tries to change the sheets.

So how is this helping you might ask?  Well, my Mom works hard around the house to keep up with me and Dad and the various and sundry messes we tend to make.  So I figure if I hop up on the bed when she’s busy changing sheets on laundry day, I can free her up for OTHER projects or give her a rest while I get in a quick nap!  See?  That’s helping…..sort of.  She either goes downstairs to start the laundry or goes into her studio to do something – so by my hopping up on the bed to interrupt the bed-making process, I’ve given Mom a break from the routine. 

At least this is what I tell myself every single Thursday morning when we do this VERY same thing with the bed-changing thing.  The best part is hiding under the bed until she’s walking down the hall to get the fresh sheets then surprising her when she gets back to the bedroom by being RIGHT HERE in the same spot every single time.  Come to think of it, I wonder if that’s a surprise……..I’ve been doing it every Thursday for twelve years……..maybe the “surprise factor” is gone??????????

So are you a fan of laundry day too in your house? 

Happy Friday
