bedding down

you all know how i've been
sleeping on my cot
mattress wedged right up
next to the folks' bed
(cause they couldn't bear
to get up and out of bed
in the middle of the night
to stumble down a hallway
into another room)
and so the co-sleeping stayed
because it worked for us all
well now i am out of the
mattress and into my very own
little toddler bed from ikea
but make no mistake -
i still lie
wedged next to them
snug as a bug in a rug under my numbers doona!
