Fitted sheets.
Saturday, December 8, 2007 at 11:52AM Okay, this is totally random. Last night I was making the guest bed in our basement and two things occurred to me:
1. Why can't they *clearly* mark on the tag of the sheets what size the sheets are? Yes, I know I should know, but sometimes a person forgets, ya know? All those sheet sets in the linen closet...no real idea which ones are for the queen bed. Would it be wrong to require companies to include that on the tag...just like they include the size of clothing?
2. I hate folding fitted sheets. After a couple different tries with sheet sets that weren't for the queen size bed, I decided it wasn't worth trying to fold them back up. Seriously, how annoying is folding fitted sheets? Is it just me? While in the process of complaining to Nathan about it and arguing that all companies should make a stuff bag similar to how some sleeping bags come, a light bulb went off! I now store my sheet sets simply stuffed into one of the set's pillow cases. So there. :)
See? Told ya it was random.

My mil does that too. I keep the sheets sorted by bedroom... so each bedroom closet has it's appropriate sized sheets. It works for us because we have huuuge closets. also, you could mark on the tag what size the sheets are with a sharpie?
:) hope you're having a great day!
LOVE it Amanda! What a great idea too. I always hated folding those things...
Another idea -- have only one set of sheets per bed. Take them off, wash them, put them back on.
Nan - what do you do when you have a sick child in the middle of the night? Ok, most of the time we end up snuggled on the couch on old blankets and the floor surrounded by old towels just in case, but still... often when one is ill, two are ill, and not having at least two extra sets for 3 beds would be a disaster LOL!
LOL! I feel EXACTLY the same way about folding fitted sheets! They are such a pain! I LOVE your solution! I'm going to try that!
LOL! I gave up folding those suckers years ago. good thing we only have queen sets and then our king but they're in separate linen closets. ;)
