ciroccojMy mom got us a bed on wheels a few years ago. Very nice bed. Very generous of her. Yesterday I discovered that the really nice thing about a wheel-bed is that when you decide it's time to really give the floor under the bed a thorough sweeping, you can just roll the bed away and sweep the bare floor - no reaching under with the broom, no straining to make sure you caught every dust bunny.
The really awful thing about a wheel-bed is that when you decide it's time to really give the floor under the bed a thorough sweeping after two years, you can just roll the bed away and see the bare floor. Which is not so bare.
'Nuff said.
The crummy thing about living in Ottawa is that it gets cold enough that when you have an old-ish car with an old-ish battery and you don't plug it in overnight, you may not be able to start it the next day, and thus may be unable to drive to your local grocery store and Fabricland.
The nice thing about living in Ottawa is that it gets cold enough that when your oldish car doesn't start, you can just stick the kids into a sled and drag them to the grocery store and Fabricland and back. Good exercise. This also means you can buy cookies and eat them without feeling too guilty about it :)
