Furniture

The furniture we borrowed from the military while ours is on its way to Mississippi is much nicer than our furniture. Living in the lap of luxury here. Big soft beds, while ours have the cheapest hardest mattresses made. Incredibly luxurious.

We decided to go ahead and get Lily a twin bed instead of a crib. She is three and a half now. While I was concerned that Little Miss Lily would not stay in her room and make my life miserable, I held my breath and put her to bed in, well a bed. She has surprised me by not leaving her room once. She even goes to bed without a great deal of fuss. Whereas previously she had become quite difficult to put to bed, perhaps it was the crib (cage) which was making her unhappy.

However, she refuses to sleep in the bed. She instead sleeps on the floor. I even sneak in after she is asleep and put her back in the bed, but she sneaks back out of bed and sleeps back on the floor. I have tried laying down with her in the bed until she falls asleep, she talks to me for hours and wont go to sleep. I don't know why this is bothering me so much, but it is. I don't want her sleeping on the floor. I guess I should be used to the little one not doing what I want by now. Still, I don't want her to sleep on the floor.

I put a blow up mattress on the floor, no. I put the bed's mattress on the floor, no. I put blankets on the floor, no. She drives me crazy. She wakes up with rug Marks on her little knees and elbows. That child!

I am loving the fact that we have only one tiny little TV in the house. I have seen more of the teenage daughter in the last week than in the last year. It is nice, we have been having to compromise on TV issues, and I have had to watch a myriad of interesting TV shows, like the movie Snakes on a Plane and the movie Nacho Libre. Both excruciatingly painful to view, but the time with the family priceless. Those choices by the way were via Jeff, Mandy is not quite as bad. Only six hours to complete my final paper, better get back to typing.
