Hey there I can’t believe its a T day again. Where does the time go? Really, stop thinking about it…that was a rhetorical question.
Todays Mediocre Topic Thursday is inquiring about your slumber habits, or more specfically where you slumber. Are you a ‘I dont’ care where on the bed I sleep as long as sleep’ person or are you a ‘Get off of my side of the bed are you crazy I have to sleep there’ kinda person.
Me, well….I am the latter. Many a years my hubs was not home due to him out being a sailor and all. This lead me to sleeping on our bed with our 2 small girls (at the time because GAH! Have you seen them they are like trying to grow up on me or something!) I always slept in a certain spot on the bed (right hand side if you are laying it it, left hand side facing it) A.L.W.A.Y.S.
Most nights hubs will leave me in my spot because I go to bed a few hours before he even thinks about it. But sometimes he likes to think he is sneaky and sort of nudge me over to the other side so we can cuddle better. I always wake up….sometimes I make some excuse to get out of bed so I can climb back in my spot, others I get up if its time, or sometimes I let him snuggle up to me when he is on MY side of the bed. He grumbles when I make him deal with the alarm clock over there though…that’ll teach him.
So are you flexible with your spot or do you have your ‘ass grooves’ so to speak where you want them and you aren’t up for sharing!

Don’t even get me started on how fast time is going by. I remember growing up how the adults used to always say, “You think things are going fast now, just wait until you’re older.” I always thought that was BS that adults wanted to scare us with. Holy hell it’s true.
Anyways, on to the subject at hand. My husband always sleeps on the side closest to the door. Apparently it makes him feel manly thinking he will fight off the intruder before they can get to me. How romantic ::) Plus, the alarm clock is on my side (same as you, plus on the right side laying down, left side looking at it). It’s a miracle my husband can even find the snooze button on that thing.

Interesting. I also sleep on the right side (because I’m always right!) and have custody of hte alarm clock. I have no idea how that came to be my side of the bed, but it is…and after 20 years of marriage (talk about time flying!) my sweetie wouldn’t dream of trying to lay on my side. He also knows better than to touch MY pillow! lol

I tried to sleep on the other side of the bed when we were visiting someone else. Didn’t work. We had to switch.

I get in a groove, but it’s not permanent. Every couple of years I have to switch sides. But when I am on my side, there had better be no encroachment while I am sleeping!
