One of my bloggy goals for 2011 is to get involved with guest posting; both welcoming fabulous writers to BBCD as well as writing posts for other bloggers who are willing to host me. Today I welcome my first guest poster, Jen from Buried with Children! Jen, a recent Chicago Dog Award winner, is a mom to a singleton PLUS triplets, and no stone is ever left unturned when it comes to sharing her experiences on this wild ride called motherhood.
There is nothing better than at the end of the day changing from the jammies that I have been wearing all day to the jammies that I am going to sleep in.
My normal sleep wear consists of an oversized tee shirt. These shirts are actually left over from my pregnancy with the triplets. I used to wear them as shirts with some shorts and they barely covered my belly. Now I can wear them as a big shirt to sleep in and it goes down to me knees.
Until recently, I used to wear underwear under my shirts. But now I have stopped.
No, its not because the hubby and I have stepped up our sex life. It is actually because of an injury that occurred one morning.
I like to sleep on my side and I also, for some reason, like blankets only covering one side of me. Meaning that when I am sleeping, especially in warmer weather, I like to have my leg out on top of the sheets.
In my opinion, this is the best way to sleep.
One morning, I was sleeping like this, having a grand time, when unannounced to me, a child crept into our bedroom.
I was, as usual, on my side, facing the middle of the bed so the child couldn’t use their super eye powers to stare at me till I woke up. Well, this wouldn’t do because the child just needed to be in bed with me and in my face.
Jeff (my husband) and I share a queen sized bed with a pillow top. This bed is pretty tall so if a child wants to get into bed with us, they have to climb in.
Normally, they will grab the sheets or a blanket to pull their little bodies into the bed, but on this morning, my son used something else.
He decided to grab the waist band of my underwear that was peeking out from under my jammies. Now this might not have been such a bad thing if my son had been able to complete his climb into the bed. But this time, he started to fall.
And as he fell, he tightened his grip on the waist band to my underwear. Luck would have it that he fell up towards the head of the bed, pulling my underwear right up my butt crack, producing a monster wedgie of high school bully proportions.
Of course by this time, I was wide awake and tried to grab my underwear, all well pushing the child away, which knocked over a lamp, startling Jeff, which produced screaming and yelling waking the rest of the house.
*sigh*
So see, it is just better and way safer for the butt crack to sleep commando.
If you don’t already read Jen, these stories are the norm on her blog. So get on over there and see what you’ve been missing!
Love Jen! And mostly because of stories like this. Priceless.
Jen’s the best for stories like these!
At first, the thought of the high school bully wedgie made me wince, but then, it made me wistful — how lucky to be a mom!
THat was frickin’ hilarious!!! I was envisioning it the whole time…too funny!
She’s a great story-teller!
Oh my God Jen!! I’m dying over here! Seriously just spit out some water!
Great first guest poster selection, Liz!
that’s so funny!! that would scare the heck out of me!
Snort-through-my nose-funny! And so real. Love it. Will hop on over and check Jen’s blog out.
Jen ALWAYS tells it like it is! She leaves to motherhood stone unturned!
Omg, I love it! I so didn’t see it coming!
Liz, I’d love for you to guest blog for me anytime if you would!
Really? I’d love to! Let’s talk after Blissdom!
Oh man! And here I was thinking her love life was gettin’ all crazy! Too funny….I don’t know if I’ve visited her blog, but she’s hilarious on Twitter. Thanks for hosting her, Liz! Can’t wait to read more of her blog.
She’s good at the bait n switch approach.
Well if that’s not the funniest thing I never expected I don’t know what is.
What a way to start the day! That feeling kind of sticks with you after the fact.
Ha! That’s definitely one way to think about it!
I could imagine what was coming, but I laughed out loud at your word choice! Jen, you are so funny!
I am so honored to be the first guest poster here.
No you what that means, you are no longer a guest post hosting virgin.
You are just growing up so fast.
Hahah! I sleep commando because I take meds that make me sweat like a pig at night. Hot? Totally.
Laughing. Out. Loud…..literally! SO, SO funny!
If you like this, you definitely need to follow Jen!
Funny, that it happened to you and not me. Sorry about your injury, but funny nonetheless.
That is hilarious!
I sleep commando under my jammie pants because I like it all to breathe down there! It’s very comfy!
OMG! This is hilarious! I can imagine how it felt but I laughed as I read it all!
It’s such a great “mommy” story, isn’t it?
*SNORT!*
Oh I SO hate an underwear injury!! So so much!
oh my!!!!!
Holy mother of all wedgies! And hooray for someone else sitting at their computer in their jammies at odd hours of the day!
It’s truly a wedgie of epic proportions!
Jen, you always make me laugh, you never run out of funny stories! That’s a good one!
This is hilarious. And it’s nice to know I’m not alone in exchanging one pair of jammies for another. I consider it getting dressed if I got to put a bra on.
This was hilarious. Not sure what I was expecting, but that wasn’t it!
I have to second what Leigh Ann said above. Getting dressed means putting a bra on! Well, we’ve been snowed in for 3 days, today is #4 but I am determined to *get dressed* and go somewhere. ANYWHERE!
Bernice
That was hilarious! It had to be the most painful wedgie ever!
I suggested that instead of sleeping commando, she *could* wear pants?? Novel approach, eh?
That would only happen to Jen! She’s a hoot!
Oh boy! The things we will go through for our children. That’s a story to embarrass the kids with in high school.
Now I know. LOL! Sounds like something that would happen to me.
I think I just felt a sympathy pain back there…
How does the poor kid get in the bed now? All because mama can’t handle a wedgie!
i know! Maybe she should wear pants? Grabbing at a naked butt doesn’t exactly sound safe.
There’s nothing that makes a day better than a good wedgie story. Thank you for making my day.
Oh. my. gosh. What a way to wake up! Yes, definitely agree commando is the best choice at this point in time.
See, what about wearing pants?!?
I mentioned it to Jen and she said she never thought about that doing that. Ha, ha!
OMG. I just died and went to heaven. This is the funniest post I’ve read all year! I must meet Jen. Thanks, Liz, for introducing us. Anyone who writes about bully wedgies is a friend of mine.
So, so funny! Yes, underwear injuries are not fun. Better to go without.
Or wear pants???
I am laughing so hard! there absolutely cannot be a worse way to wake up.
Too funny!! I’ve learned something new today…. no underwear to bed!
Or wear pajama pants???
Good lord, I can totally see this happening to me. Because the bed is a war zone. Well, actually, the entire house is a war zone. Great post!
Oh My Goodness. Talk about a way to wake up. Nothing like your kid trying to wrap your chonies up aover your head so you resemble a midget wrestler.
Good times.
Ouch…a slight malfunction at the junction!!
Hilarious!
Awful way to wake up! Ouch. At least we can laugh at – I mean with – Jen. Great post!
Oh man what do they grab onto now? I hope you and Jeff switched sides….it’s his turn to take one for the team.
I know. She almost seems more vulnerable this way.

Hilarious! Wow commando. That’s better than lingerie.
Hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!
Hysterical!! Must go give her a visit… though I think I have been there before… sounds familiar?? I love a good laugh… funny story! though commando is NOT my style… I will take my chances with the wedgie!! =)
Evening snow is not my last blog post… silly computer! =) just sayin… today’s post is about secrets!!
Hilarious! Clearly I need to be reading more like this! I do agree, that’s the best way to sleep.
Hilarious!!
I love how she starts it off with changing from the jammies she’s been wearing all day, to the ones she wears to bed! Ha!
Well…now that you’re going commando Jen, maybe you and your hubby will step it up. Just remember to lock the door
Love Jen and her stories! They are the BEST!
