The Power Of a Bed

Yes I know it’s been a long time since I was posting, but what can I say I need a usb drive placed at the back of my head because mentally I have been writing Monologues in my mind. And I do have to say that they are amazing, so i’ll I get them out some how if I can think of a way to get the words onto here from my mind.

What’s that old saying? A change is as a good as a holiday? Who the hell came up with that…Because really how can a change be as good as a holiday. So whats a big change that has happened to me I started back working fulltime. As a mental change it really is doing wonders for my mind and really after I have my 30 minutes of snooze time I do get my ass out of bed and into the shower. My problem lays in the "getting out of bed" part of my day. See once I’m at work I’m fine, I go off on my merry way and I just do what I have to do. Arrrhh bed? Remember how good it feels? Blanket layed oh so snuggles over you? Your head resting on the pillows in the most unlikey way. How your body just sinks into the middle and you feel at home. We have had this bed for almost 9 years now. Of course over the years we have gotton new mattress, but this latest mattress which is almost …oh no it is 2 years old has been the best one by far. Well if you count the one in which my babies where made well then I guess they where they best??? But this one has been nice too.

How on earth did I get onto talking about my mattress again? Oh yeah getting out of bed on time. Hrm I didn’t do to bad this morning. Most mornings I’m half awake. I love laying around in bed. Naked of course but if clothes are called for then so be it. My bed has been my rock in a lot of hard places. I come to it to think, I come to it to sleep, I come to it lay on and read my books. I nursed Callum and up till 2 years ago Callum was a fulltime member of it for a good 3 years. (But he now has his own bed to make wonders in). I come to bed to dream and really this is the place where I think. I never go straight to sleep, I get into bed and find my "spot", my eyes are always open and I start to think. It’s quiet and no one talks to me then with a loud bang I start to talk. If it’s not this idea or that I have been known to keep Matt up at all hours. Should buy this to invest into that? I don’t know if i really like the colour blue let alone a blue 4wd. What you want a 4wd? They are sending you where now? Are you ever coming home? (Mostly I say that one on the phone) And yes, if I can’t sleep I ring him and wake him too.

Now my parents where and they still are far from perfect but one thing that they did do everynight was talk in bed. Now we all know Im sticky bum and I would listen in. One negative thing, it was never personal it was always business. Maybe the personal started after middnight, but it always about the shops and some nights I would hear even a little something sweet something along the lines of I love you but I can’t be sure. SO back to talking in bed to your partner I think is great place to open up somes lines of communication, it could be as simple as "really tell me how wsa your day?" to just get things started. Even now as I type this, Matt is laying next to me, not something that happens much these days but it does happen and he is snoring ill wake him soon and we will talk. Even if its for 5 minutes the most important thing is that we talked.

And yes my bed does hold all my secrets. If the two bits of wood at eachend could talk you would hear an amazing story of Sadness, Happiness, Lost, Hurt, Love and Romance.
