Bed Hogger

...that would be my husband!!! I must admit that our bed in UK is rather small. Matt used to complain that our queen in Minneapolis wasn't big enough, but that was before he got to UK and encountered the fact that even in hotels the biggest bed you get is full :)

It's rather interesting to watch him sleep in UK, because he is a huge bed hogger and since I get to share the bed with him...well, it's a constant battle, that is for sure. He usually wins the battle and ends up with more room, in fact most nights he is just too close to me and has quite a bit of room on the other side. I mean come on, there is better use for that space, I could use it. But what is the best part is when I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night or go get some water or what not. If I am gone more than 2 minutes, he will spread diagonally and will hug MY pillow and put his sleepy head on it. I mean, seriously, I am gone for 2 minutes and he invades the whole bed plus my pillow.

When I return to bed, I have to wake him up a little and tell him to move, I can't move him when he is awake, forget about it when he is asleep. Then he starts mumbling something and moves about 4 inches, you know, just enough for me to barely lay on the bed, half wondering when I will tumble off to the floor. I am pretty sure that he says some not nice words at me when he mumbles, but I can never make out what it is exactly he is saying.

I must say that it is very amusing and he is super funny to watch trying to take over the bed. He is definitely a bed hogger, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Oh, his excuse for it is: I want to be close to you during the night. Is that why he is taking over the whole bed when I am not in it? Hmm...

I love my hubby...I think I will keep him for awhile. So far he manages to keep me laughing and smiling every day!

Now what she left out is the fact that my "half" is really only 30%of the bed. If I creap onto the other part of the bed... Well I get the ole knees in the back. Plus those 5 min trips are actually 2 hours to sneak off and watch a late night movie and talk to people in the US.. Why shouldn't I get comfortable. It is a small bed. I don't know what is wrong with the Brits. For two people the bed should be a queen or bigger. I guess we may just need to put duck tape down the center of the bed to determine what is actually going on... ;)
