Yesterday I felt like crying more than I felt like doing other things. It started out crummy, got worse and ended with me eating pie for dinner. Praying for some really good news today for one of the very few humans I can't possibly be expected to ever exist without.
However.
There was one stupid good moment yesterday that made my husband so happy it was catchy. You should know we have been sleeping in the valley of suck every night. Twice we have been lucky enough to be given mattresses from my grandparents that they had in guest rooms. Sadly, both of these very quickly grew out of their mattress duties and decided to take on role as marriage counselor. The dumb things decided Jared and I didn't spend enough time together. Really, really together. So out of the kindness of their springs, I'm sure, they provided a sinkhole in the middle that chucked us into the center each night. Those mattresses should have stuck to their day (night?) job. It just made us throw curses of revenge at each other every time a arm whacked a face or a leg crossed the line. We tried everything to avoid it. We would start out the night as far from each other as physically possible with out falling off, clinging to the top on the hill. It became necessary to throw an arm and leg off the side for leverage. This caused horrible anxiety as those limbs were just waiting to chopped off by the ax murderers waiting under the bed.
The pain is over my friends. Just a mere eight point two five years for us to come to our senses. Our brand new amazon bargain of a mattress arrived yesterday. Suddenly all the Christmas music I've been playing seemed very appropriate. We bought a twelve inch memory foam blah blah blah. We went to bed at nine. I feel like we have a new roommate, one I should be jealous of. Jared's been giving the thing dreamy eyes since he saw the box. Creepy, but nice. Very, very nice.

Aahhh, it is amazing what a new mattress would do for a relationship. Still working on convincing hubby that if we get a King we will be happy forever!
ReplyDeleteHoping that you get the news you desire. Thinking of you.
Thanks Faith. Meeeee too!
ReplyDeleteIf you figure out how to get your man on board with the jump to a king you'll have to share. We still in a queen and now that we have a new mattress I'm scared it will be that way forever. and ever.
Haha my husband is dying for a king, but all the furniture i bought pre-married life is queen size and I just can't part with it.
ReplyDeleteGood quote! Glad you have a good new mattress!!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I want a new mattress and now I am jealous! But yay for you and all ;) BTW, what-is this Lesco that you love so much?? I keep meaning to ask...
ReplyDeleteT- Why waste good furniture? And the sentimental attachment? I can't do it.
ReplyDeleteColleen - Lesco = Jared = my husband. BUY ONE. A mattress, not my husband. It's so worth every cent you should have spent on groceries.
