So......a confession. I am terrible about changing sheets. My mother changed every bed in the house (and there were 6 kids!) EVERY Friday. Without fail. As the children got older, we would be expected to remove the sheets....but when we got home from school, the bed was made. I love sleeping in clean sheets. My husband loves sleeping in clean sheets. It is a very rare thing in my home. "How long has it been since I changed these sheets?" is always answered with "Too Long!". My sister told me that while at a women's group meeting someone explained we don't need to change sheets as often now-a-days because we aren't typically physically toiling, or farming all day and we shower or bath much more often, etc., etc. Made me feel MUCH better. Makes sense. We don't need to change the sheets as often. There. That woman has made a big difference in how I feel about myself. I was talking to my Mom the other day and she was saying that she was feeling guilty because it had been so long since she washed the walls down..........
hahaha! That last sentence made me laugh out loud!! Thanks for sharing this story. I love your blog so much already! I admire you, Jacqueline!
