The Source of Many Chiropractor Visits
Our poor mattress is so abused. Sometimes I dream that I’m lying on a sleeping bag stuffed with pine cones, hay, and jagged rocks. Then I wake up thinking I wish. It’s past it’s life expectancy by about two kids. Been peed, puked, and lactated on countless times.
Aaron and I have matching his/her dug outs we lay down in each night that are so deep if we cover our heads it looks like the bed is made up with no one in it. (This comes in handy when we want to hide from our kids, or the police unexpectedly raid our house.) It’s become surrealy bad. We are currently couch refugees until there is fundage for new tempurpedic memory foam digs. And yes, memory foam probably causes seven kinds of cancer and irreversible brain damage but in my opinion it’s so very worth that risk.
When I sleep in that bed it throws my neck and back out. Which results in my morning crackhead routine. You, dear reader, may well wake up to the smell of bacon cooking, or perhaps an alarm clock, or even a rooster…I wake my family up with the sounds of my bones cracking and popping back in place. Think black cat fire crackers or a double barrel shot gun. They. Love. This…NOT.
Our bed is good for A.) the worlds largest laundry basket B.) a trampoline and C) kindling.

that’s how i feel when i have to sleep on one of the girls mattresses… i don’t know how they sleep on them… what if you bought like 20 of those egg crate foamy things… it’d be like the princess and the pea!

lol That is hilarious. =P
We got a sleep number bed when we got married and we love it. They are expensive, but half the cost is the plastic box that goes under the mattress (because you don’t need box springs). We skipped the plastic box and built a wood one for $50. It’s not too big of a deal, esp because we assembled it in the room.
It has a 20 year warranty and it’s soooo comfortable.

You guys are so clever Kate, such a great idea to built the base.

I don’t have any catchy captions, but I had to laugh at the picture! That is too funny! I can’t wait to read everyone’s caption ideas. I know there are some funny people out there…

P.S. I saw Brad Pitt interviewed one time and he said the greatest tip he knows is that any mattress will be comfortable (hard or whatever) if you top it with a posturpedic foam pad. They sell mattresses at Perry’s for not too much and you could just top it off:-)

$100 at Sams for Memory Foam. It’s the only way I get decent sleep. It’s so worth it.
