Daddy Bear Gets All the Sleep

Once upon a time (because that is how all good stories begin) there was a young-ish (almost 32 is still young, right?) lady named Goldi-Mommy (because she liked to think she was not only young but also had gold toned blonde hair.) She was also known for her overuse of parenthesis and promised to stop it right now.

Goldi-Mommy found herself without a bed. The Perfectly Sized one was too crowded. Lucy Bear's was too soft and too close to the Baby Bear. Nathan's Bear's was too hard and the sofa downstairs was too far away for the sleepy Goldi-Mommy.

As she stood in the hallway, pondering her predicament (and pleased with her perfect performance of alliteration) the Goldi-Mommy decided she was tired.
