[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 121334, member: 1697"] Totoro- LOL- I replied and then went to tend to a few things and got to thinking- I shoulda offered to DO your laundry FOR you! I sure would in a heartbeat- I sincerely really would. I am thinking it is maybe worse, too, cuz of disrupted sleep from wee ones being ill? So now that I came back and see more replies etc here...... ah well- just to confirm I am as weird as you think? LOL------um, it has been frigid cold here- well below zero ? I STILL keep my bedroom window open....LOL. I also still keep car windows cracked. I am still running around in panties and tank top cuz even with thermostat set at only 65 I am still too warm.but...I am trying hard to not freeze my family, LOL. (altho my kids are more like me and they also like it cooer) So- airing out here would not be quite as much f a difficult issue. Laundering the bedding, tho? YUK for MY bed, cuz it is King Sized full float waterbed, and the bedding is SO bulky- so yeah, I can sympathize with you. And when my kids were little, we had bunkbeds, and they were against the wall on 3 sides (wedged in the bedrooms) and stripping the beds and makeing them WAS awful!
