Why do I sleep better when I get in a bed that was made up that morning than one that was just neatly folded back? After my cleaning spree on Wednesday I woke up Thursday with my back still hurting. It was hard to bend down. I even had my sweet husband put lotion on my legs because it was so uncomfortable. So, as a part of my summer routine I went to go make the bed. I decided that I would just neatly fold the sheet/comforter back because I didn't want to have to take the pillows off the bed. Taken the pillows off would mean I would have to bend down. Yes, this sounds so lazy, but I'm pregnant! So, I went to bed last night and the bed just didn't feel right. Granted I know my hormones are probably raging right now, but I got so hot. That hasn't happen when I go to sleep in a bed that has been made. I'm not sure why, but I truly believe that a made bed is much cooler than an unmade bed. I've been awake since 3:00 AM due to being uncomfortable, hot, and a brain that wouldn't settle down.
Lesson of the day...Make the bed!
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. James 1:2-3
I'm sorry your back has been hurting. I hate to say it, but just wait until school starts. My back was killing me each afternoon when I got home. One week, closer to 40, my feet were so swollen. My OB asked me if I had been eating a lot of Chinese food. I told him no, just still working on my feet all day. Of course he told me I needed to sit down more often and try to do less-- yeah, right!! Not with 20 first graders and a two year old at home. The uncomfortableness will be so worth it in the end. Only a few more weeks to go!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's going to be rough. I wasn't good to stay off my feet when I wasn't pregnant. I can't wait to meet our little girl. I'm excited about Sunday!
