What a gift that is. The time and energy I spent making the kids breakfast and packing their lunches before school daily is staggering. That would've made life so much simpler. Older kids started packing their lunches eventually, but some people struggled with morning stuff - especially kids with band, so I often pitched in (or babied) them. <br /><br />I'm jealous of the kind bed advice. I LOVE sleeping in a king at a hotel. We never dreamt that we would move out of our first home and a kind would not have fit in our bedroom. My mom gave each of us a generous gift with the money she received when her mom passed away. Tank was a baby at the time. She bought us a bedroom set, because we had no headboard - just the basic frame. I helped pick it out and I love it, but it is a queen. It has sentimental value now and I am so crazy about my quilt that I bought a second one and I have it in a box (in part because the cleaners sort of ruined the original one and I decided to get a second one to use someday). We could use a new mattress, but every time I think about getting one - I think about getting a king size and changing everything and it makes my head spin.

I LOVE having a king. We both like to sprawl as we sleep. Anytime we have to sleep in a full (and even a queen to some extent) I feel claustrophobic. So I do NOT feel cheated by your response and agree a king-sized bed is wonderful!Elisabethhttp://elisabeth-frost.comnoreply@blogger.com
