king henry the fifth

is coming to our home this weekend.  yes. we are getting a KING size bed.  I have heard wonderful stories about how one of these things can save a marriage.  not that ours needs to be saved (insert uncomfortable laugh here).

i am not a cuddler.  i wish i was.  i love the idea and when i see it happen in movies i really want to make it happen, but when the act of cuddling actually starts to occur, i fake an injury.  two reasons: temperature and twitching. i get HOT at night, not normal hot, like sweating uncomfortable disgusting hot.  i think i lose water weight every night - if the room is not an icebox, fuggedabout a good nights sleep. reason dose: twitcher. i have mentioned this before, but walker is a twitcher.  this also makes the act of cuddling hard.  he can fall asleep in t minus two seconds and during the REM stage the twitching is the worst.  and sometimes violent.  the other night he punched me in his sleep.  and said the next morning "bubs, it was so scary someone was trying to attack you..." he has those dreams a lot - a therapist would have a field day with him. #heiseffedup.

now the question is.  to platform or not to platform.  i know i wrote a post like a year ago that you guys all probably read like a billion times about my struggle with our platform bed - mainly the torturous act of changing the sheets (and after disclosing that i am a sweaty sleeper i am sure you are really grossed out). now that it's gone, i am having second thoughts. i am a gemini to a t.  can't make up my effing mind.  i annoy myself sometimes. i don't want a bed skirt anymore.  but i don't want to be low to the ground because i got a really amazing mirrored side table that is high. is there even a solution to something like this? writing it down makes me realize, like how bad my problems with this bedroom really are.  white.people.problems.

i don't know what 'look' i am going for. think victorian, white, wood, native american, simple with clutter, log cabiny, shabby sheek, your face... if i pull this off i am a design genius because all of those words together give walker the architect the hives. whatevs, like brad and angelina it will all come together and look great!
