kitchen chaos and a really hot blanket.

i have come to know a few things about my house in the past two weeks since arriving home from the honeymoon.

my kitchen is in absolute chaos, and...the comforter i picked for our bed, while the perfect style, is too incredibly hot!!

my kitchen is ridiculous. we got so much wonderful kitchen stuff for our showers and wedding, that we have no where to put it. there are boxes of things sitting around on the floor. for a while, michael and i had both of our old sets of pots and pans, and finally decided yesterday that we would buy a new set and get rid of all the old. that cleared a little bit of room, but michael is sort of a freak about not scratching the new pans...wow. so i have to be very careful about how i load the pots and pans into the cabinets.

i am sort of (most definitely) a freak about organization. i cannot stand the fact that there are boxes of things sitting around on the floor with no where to go! i cannot stand the fact that i have not put out the old mixing bowls to make room for the new ones. i cannot stand the fact that the refrigerator has been packed full for the past two weeks and i cannot even see what is in there. there is not even room to put in a dasani bottle of water, for goodness sakes. i cannot stand the fact that there is no counter space because it has been taken over by things that do not fit in the cabinets. whoa! it's crazy in there, let me tell you! i will be changing that this week.

kitchen...get ready. you're about to be organized!

now on to the worst. we have not been sleeping well. it's an adjustment sleeping in the same bed, even though it's huge and we both have plenty of room. i am a light sleeper and everytime michael even moves, i wake up. everytime he sighs because he is hot, or groans because the dog won't stop making noises, i wake up. it has been pretty hot, but i usually sleep the entire night just because i am good at falling asleep and staying asleep...normally.

last night, was hilarious. it lasted all night. the tossing, the turning, the continuous sighing. and with each one, i woke up, turned over and looked at the clock, and tried to go back to sleep. finally about 4 am, i ask, "babe?...what is it?"

"IT'S JUST SO HOT IN HERE!! I MEAN, AREN'T YOU HOT? IS IT THIS COMFORTER? IS IT TOO HOT FOR YOU?...WELL, IS IT?"

"uh, yeah..." i say as he storms out of the bedroom door. he walks back in, "babe! close your eyes!" he turns on the bedroom light and rips the down comforter off of our bed. he replaces it with our previous, regular comforter. he tugs and pulls and straightens for a couple of minutes, walking around the bed several times. the light goes off...

cool air swiftly flows under the sheets as his side is lifted and he climbs back in bed. it's still for a few seconds and then he loudly signs in relief.

"yes! this is great! i feel like the gravity has been turned off!!!"

i start cracking up and we have a real laugh session in the middle of the night...only two hours before my alarm goes off!

i must say, we both slept exceptionally well after that. good job babe! you made the last two hours of sleep really great!
