Good for you humming bird!

hummer...laughed out loud. My first thougth was you slept in the nude...

Sweet dreams dear heart...

FormerDoormat · 06-01-2005, 08:05 PM

I hope it's a lovely gown. Not a granny-style cotton gown, but a gown of satin and lace in a beautiful color. You know, a truly lovely gown for a truly lovely woman who deserves to sleep peacefully, soundly, and safely for the rest of your life.

I wish you a good night's sleep. Tonight and every night.

JessicaNAJ · 06-01-2005, 08:16 PM

That is awesome!!!! I am very happy for you!!!

Gabe · 06-01-2005, 08:27 PM

Humming bird,
For all those years sleeping in your clothes with your keys in your pocket...you deserve peaceful nights in comfort with the sweetest of dreams.
May that be the way you spend your nights from now on.

humming bird · 06-01-2005, 08:42 PM

Thanks everyone!! I slept in an in granny fannel nightgowm with lace around the neck.

It felt wierd to not sleep in my clothes so I did not sleep all that well.

Tonight I am going to try long johns and a Tshirt. Plus it feels really good to be able to brush my teeth and washup at night.

I know this is strange to some but to others they will understand.

cwohio · 06-01-2005, 08:45 PM

hummingbird - enjoy trying different sleep apparel - we TOTALLY understand!

**Ann** · 06-01-2005, 08:49 PM

I think you are amazing and my heart aches that you had to sleep like that for so many years.

Sleep in whatever you are happy in, because above all you deserve to be happy. I have a very happy granny flannel that I'd be proud to lend you and I promise you there is no lace around the neck!!

Sweet dreams, tonight and for the rest of your life.

Hugs
Ann

My heart aches for you too...I'm sorry you had to live that way in the past, but, it looks as though your future nights will be filled with peace. You are such a brave and strong woman!

Get some good ZZZzzzZZZZZzzzzsssss!! Filled with many happy dreams!
