Bunk bed design

This morning when I woke up, I discovered a new piece of furniture in our living room.
In the wee hours, my daughter had designed and constructed a bunk bed prototype.
Our kids love the idea of sleeping in bunk beds for many reasons.
For my daughter, she likes the idea of having all the autonomy way up on the top bunk.
For my son, he likes the idea of having someone so close he can talk to while he falls asleep.
Plus, it has the added bonus of being a little playhouse in the daytime hours.

 I like the design of this particular bunk bed.  I especially like the privacy shield draped over the bottom bunk.  It looks both thrillingly cosy and also cheerfully exotic.

It is so FUNNY." And yes, I almost did pee myself, but I also cried through almost the entire last half of the movie.  I did not laugh so hard I cried, I just plain sobbed. I felt really sad watching the story of two friends come to terms with how their friendship was changing.  I was really surprised by my reaction after all the hype about how hilarious the movie was, but I knew why.  The brilliance of this movie was how life can be so hilarious and painful at the same time.    Yesterday, I was on a social networking site and one of the people I follow mentioned that she cried "proper tears" upon reading a story about a woman's tragic childhoo
