If you read my earlier post about being Spontaneous, you'll notice that we have traveled and stayed at some pretty horrible places...Then I became a Mom..
Some point between Giving birth and bringing my child home (about 10hrs) I created a huge fear of Gross stuff. Not the bodily fluid kind of gross stuff coming out of my child, but things like the floor at a doctors office. Or the chairs in the waiting area of a doctors office.... Public transportation.... Planes...Just nasty! and Sand boxes.... well how many animals think of that as their litter box.... Swimming pools and splash pads.... Ugh!
Don't worry, I'm not sheltered in my house with white gloves. In fact I have two dogs and our house is quite dirty. But my dirt is different then public dirt....Yes, I'm strange! I get that.... So we live a normal life but I cringe when I see just totally gross things....
Hotels and rental vacation places are just the YUCK of yuck stuff in my opinion... and hubby said I was being ridiculous.... Who cares if that blanket hasn't been washed in 10 years, or the last renter had athletes feet and toenail fungus, or their baby pooped all over the floor and had rotovirus..... Yes, these things really go through my mind.... Doesn't mean I don't stay in hotels... but it has forced me to stay in nicer ones since I've been a Mom and developed hotel-phobia.... Even still, the grossness is still there!
So last night hubby and I are talking about it and at some point he stops to think... and says "OMG, One hotel bed could essentially have 280 or more people sleeping in it in one year"
YES - THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY
He goes on to realize all the disgusting things that happen in a hotel bed and by the end of our conversation he says... "I think I will bring a plastic wrap with us next time and our own sheets and blankets to go over the plastic wrap"
HA HA... I have converted him!! And I bet he won't ever walk around a hotel room with out socks or shoes again! ha ha
Ok so when you were little you slept in a tent on the beach..talk about bedbugs...smile
