I'm a bed hog. There. I've admitted it.

I had no idea. Ok, maybe I did. I used to have a dog that slept in my bed and when I'd hear her growl, I knew that I'd moved into her territory. The Hubs doesn't growl (unless you count his snoring), so how was I to know?

This discovery was made just last night. Yesterday morning, he got out of bed before me and I made a big production about taking over the entire bed so he'd be jealous. He made a comment about how that's nothing new. Whaaaa????? Huh?????? After being questioned about that statement, he said that he was surprised that he hasn't rolled off the bed by now because I'm constantly hogging his side of the bed.

I decided to prove him wrong (always a bad idea, because I rarely do...), so when I woke up in the middle of the night I reached over him to feel where he was on the bed. Sure enough, there wasn't even an inch between hubby and the edge of the bed. My side had about two feet.

It's completely understandable. I used to have a California King all to myself, and for the last year or so have been sharing a queen sized bed with hubby. I suppose we could get a bigger bed, but I suspect I'd continue to migrate to his side of the bed.

He's like a magnet, I tell you! Ok, that doesn't explain the dog part.... but he doesn't need to know that, right?

Oh, now there's a toughie. A good hubby walks the fine line between letting you have the Right Of Way when it comes to bed real estate. Do I hold my ground? Do I sleep on the floor... it's a balancing act. If he was REALLY concerned about the amount of bed space you take up, he'd bring a spray bottle to bed with him. Every time you started to crowd... squirt squirt squirt....

See? Fine line. :D

Heheh, could be worse. My kitty is a pillow hog and loves to plop his furry butt in my face. After literally being tossed out of bed a couple of times, he usually settles for a leg or arm. My son is also a pillow hog although he generally comes in during the night, grabs a pillow, then goes back to his room! Hey R, if someone did that to me, HIS butt would be tossed out of bed! Oh, I HATE not being able to move around! So I'm not really a bed hog, but I'm a toss and turner! LOL.

Love ya all- Happy Turkey Day!

Well, I'll be good and not use real names, but I too am a bed hog. But it's ok because he rolls me over to whatever position he wants me in and it is IMPOSSIBLE to roll back. He's totally asleep and suddenly I'm being rearranged! >sigh<
But he's sooo gorgeous when he sleeps, and sooo warm, too.

:mrgreen:LOL **!! I have been accused of that as well, hehehe I swear I don't do it
on purpose. He's always all warm, so no wonder my body just moves toward him. Before
you know it, I am covering more than half of the queen size bed.

Hehe bad **, you bed hog!! :razz:

to go towards his side of the bed because that's where the covers are!!!

Gosh, I hope you don't get squirted in the middle of the night! (I think I'll
have to keep this post to myself...LOL)

Hugs,

Ok kothz, no fair being funnier than me in my own post! That was so funny that I had to share it with hubby.

Stupid me! After seeing him repeat the words, "spray bottle" and "squirt" while rubbing his beard, I know I've got a soaking in my future.

Hey, if it gets too bad, he can always get out of bed, walk around to "your" side, and hop in there. :wink:
