The "NEW" mattress saga
It started out ohhh so simple. Mother ordered a mattress & box springs [hereafter referred to only as THE mattress] apparently from QVC. It arrived and was placed on her bed... when I got home that evening from work, I almost has a heart attack... you would need a 6' ladder to get into it. Knowing how mother can "hardly" walk, it was impossible for her to get into it... why on earth she let them leave it and take her old one is beyond me....... but it gets better!!!!!!!!!! She had called them to tell them to come and get it... BUT that would leave her without any mattress at all, as they took her old one. She slept in the recliner in the tv room ... then I remembered the Aerobed in my car and told her I would put it on her bed until they came and got the new mattress. Wellllllll... as luck would have it.. the Aerobed has a hole in it and would not hold air... sooo another night in the recliner.... I told her I could swap the mattress on daddy's old bed and keep the new springs and put that mattress on top and it should be ok... She agreed... When I got home.. Beau took off to see his friends and I moved the mattress on daddy's old bed alone and fixed it with her feather bed stuff and sheets... She could at last sleep on it!!!!! Buttttttttttt Ohhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooo... it doesn't end there...... last night she informs me she wants daddy's ENTIRE bed changed into her room and her bed in daddy's room... I told her things were fine the way they are... but she is determined to have them switched so she can sleep on that DAMN new mattress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told her I ain't changin it....... she said she would get Michael & Andrew.. I told her that ain't gonna happen.. and she tells me she will get some "guys" to change it......... This should be interesting... to say the least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
