The Fitted Sheet Merry-Go-Round

I imagine that many folks spend a lot of time deciding on the content of their first blog post. It should set a tone of what readers can expect. It should be witty and impressive. It should have to do with the title of the blog. 

Ok, well mine sort of has to do with the title of the blog since this could be classified as a "blonde moment." Growing up I always resented that I was a blonde. I became tired of blonde jokes and feeling like people assumed that I was ditzy or not smart because of my hair color. When in fact, I was quite a serious child. My silliness didn't bloom fully until I was in my twenties. Anyways, I learned to laugh at the blonde stereotype and embrace it. Sometimes it's ok to have a "blonde moment." 

From the first time I was told to make my bed I have had a sort of mental block about putting on a fitted sheet. You know the drill. Put a corner under pull it from the top right to the bottom right and it's too short! Ok, take a corner and put it on the bottom right and take it to the bottom left, it's too long! What happened? This is the fitted sheet merry-go-round. I am ashamed to admit how many times I did this over the years. I never looked for a solution because once the bed was made it flitted right out of my head as I promptly grabbed a book to read on my freshly made bed.

I'm here to tell you there's a quick fix. There is a light at the end of this tunnel! When I finally did it and stopped the fitted sheet merry-go-round I felt quite stupid for not doing it earlier. No, not make my husband do the laundry. Buy striped sheets! So simple! Vertical, horizontal, or some print that has a top and bottom will work. Do not buy plaid or you will be doing the fitted sheet merry-go-round: plaid edition. 

I know, it's sad it took me as many years as it did to solve this problem. But, this is me! I believe everyone has a similar issue now and then. We're human. Sometimes we have moments.
