Breaking Stereotypes: When The Man Is The Bed Hog

Sometimes, you just have to drop-kick him into tomorrow, take the blanket back, and regain your bed space.

We're all aware of the many memes and jokes that go around about women taking up all of the bed-space and stealing the covers.... well, as a married woman, I can tell you that it is NOT TRUE!


At first, he looks so sweet and innocent, just sleeping, not getting on your nerves, so you try to gently wake him and ask him to move over. Ya know, just a little shake and a tug on the blanket because you're still freezing. Nothing. Nothing happens. He doesn't even stop snoring. It's late, you're tired, you're cold, and you can't move more than half an inch for fear of falling off the bed but your man over there is sleeping like a baby. He doesn't even care. This is where you are left with a decision.

You can either sleep on the old, lumpy, hard, couch that does some SERIOUS damage to your back... OR, you drop kick him into tomorrow, take back the blanket, and your well-deserved portion of the bed! This may seem a little harsh, but what did we talk about earlier? WE are stereotyped as the bed hogs, you have already endured the 2inches of bed space, freezing toes, sleep deprivation, and his ridiculous snoring AND You have already tried to gently wake him! As far as I'm concerned, that's more than enough fairness. Sometimes, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! [Below is a gif model that I have added that shows you how to effectively obtain what is rightfully yours]

If your man gets a little agitated after following this maneuver, just blame it on a bad dream ;) He'll just roll over, go right back to sleep, and forget all about it in the morning, and you will finally be able to sleep comfortably! It's a win-win!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
