5. I Make The Bed Every Day... Except For Sunday...
... when I change the sheets. But I suppose that technically speaking, I *am* making the bed whenever I put on fresh sheets.
A made-up bed helps even cluttered rooms look not-so-cluttered. And it's much nicer to crawl under covers of a made-up bed (especially a pre-heated bed) compared to getting into an unmade bed with piles of sheets and covers at the foot of the bed.
Blame my mother. As kids we were REQUIRED to make our beds every day. I hated doing it then, it seemed like such a waste. I'd ask her: "Why bother? We're just going to mess it up again tonight!"
what's the point? I change the sheets about once every week and a half and that seems to be fine. I prefer to sleep as much as possible and then run out the door for work or school, no time for such folly. :)
but when I make my bed I just pull the cover up, then I pull it a little bit up to make it easier for Pad Thai to get in the bed later and cuddle under the covers. I'm such a good cat Mom!
Even if everything else is not done in the room, I make the bed. I even put all the pretty pillows on it just so. It's like my one life line to neatness. :shrug:
