The topic of the post just seems SO spoiled and blind.I am becoming so aware of orphans and adoption and poverty... and perhaps this is why posts like this on your blog drive me nuts. My priorities now are living more simply so we can one day adopt and share our fortunate life with others... which means my son will sleep in the toddler bed his crib converts into AND share his room with a new baby. And wear garage sale clothes, not boutique. And I won't buy the $20 deoderant or let others go nuts buying for Christmas. <br /><br />Sorry to be such a bummer-o girl... I usually identify with your peppy and family focused blog, but not lately!<br /><br />BTW... My parents also blessed us with a bedroom set, otherwise we would have been on a twin from college or on an air mattress. And it would have been okay.Bld424https://www.blogger.com/profile/12055817016471627038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-79274662664725618962010-10-18T21:32:16.399-05:002010-10-18T21:32:16.399-05:00I was the same as you - I grew up in a queen bed a...I was the same as you - I grew up in a queen bed and I took up every inch possible. Then I went to college and sleeping on a twin bed seemed impossible. And (sorry mom) we often SHARED a twin bed, and got so used to it that we became cuddlers all night long. Today we share a queen and probably will never get anything bigger because we barely use half the space anyway! What a difference from my childhood - guess I just needed him to tame me during the night :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372216961082150855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-48277049768151915762010-10-17T18:44:07.136-05:002010-10-17T18:44:07.136-05:00Oh man!

But get this- we were 2 adults in a full-sized BUNK BED! Well, it was a 'loft bed' per Manhattan jargon, but that really means bunk bed, you know. So even a full-sized bed could be worse- you could have to navigate getting up there wit ha ladder! ;)<br />xoxo,<br />LuluLuluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977467596791567153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-85486460113212107862010-10-15T20:36:52.664-05:002010-10-15T20:36:52.664-05:00We started out in a full and I swear I almost fell...We started out in a full and I swear I almost fell out of that bed every night.

After a weekend trip where the best part was the awesome king size bed at the hotel, we've decided to upgrade to a California King once the baby is in his own room and we're ready to buy a new mattress.<br /><br />We started out in a twin bed, which is almost comical, because I'm 5'11", he's 6'2", and we weighed about 230 & 16o lbs respectively back then. I used to wake up in the crack between the mattress and the wall where I'd gotten knocked out of bed.Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06297495312752595424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-78449935915462338142010-10-14T21:41:43.293-05:002010-10-14T21:41:43.293-05:00LOL!!
