An Explanation

I thought I'd explain why I named my blog Mattress Wars. My sister-in-law Holly asked me why I named it that and I blurted out, "Because Brig and I don't get along in bed." And both Holly's and my sister, Dawn's eyebrows shot up and they said, "Alll righty then." That's not exactly what I meant. I meant I'm a bed hog. I admit it. I've always been one. I've contemplated going to bed hogs anonymous but decided I just can't quit now. Anyway, ever since we've been married we haven't quite gotten the hang of sleeping together down. I am surprisingly aggressive in the middle of the night still half asleep when my husband tries to gain back a few lost inches or pull some covers away from where I lay with them clutched in a death grip. Brig claims I've really let him have it but when I wake up I remember almost nothing. And before you start feeling sorry for him I woke up the other morning with a stuffed animal laying next to my face. When I expressed my surprise at Jack Jack the Polar Bear invading our bed my husband admitted to throwing it at my head because I wouldn't stop snoring. Nice. This is our life. So I thought for my blog I'd name it Mattress Wars: It's not personal, it's family. You know like "Go to the mattresses" off of The Godfather via You've Got Mail, It's not personal, it's business. So that's the explanation. I decided too late that I didn't want to blog as much about family as I used to so now I'm stuck with Mattress Wars. I think it's time to get a king size bed. Unfortunately I can't change the name of my blog!
