A Long Time Coming

My Family lives out in Henderson Nevada. My mom, sister and her family all live there. I visit for a weekend about every two months and of course, stay at my mom's home and I have the extra bedroom room. I have been going out there for YEARS and always had to sleep on one of two single beds. Uggg! I love going to visit my family, but I always dreaded the idea of having to sleep on that granite slab. Not only is the bed small, it was like sleeping on a cement slab. I tried foam, cushy mattress covers and anything you can think of in order to get a good nights sleep. And all I ever got was a sore shoulder depending on witch side I tried to sleep on. Worse than that. You couldn't roll over because the bed was so narrow. More than once I tried to turn over and hit the floor instead. Yes, that's right., I fell of the bed. I had to bounce myself up n' down in order to switch from one side of my body to the other. Talk about uncomfortable!!!
Well...I decided to go out there and stay for two weeks over the Christmas / New Year holidays. Not just a weekend, but for two whole weeks. While driving there I decided, 'Ive had ENOUGH'. As soon as I arrived, I put my stuff away and headed to a mattress store and bought a nice cushy, comfortable queen size mattress. Ummmm, Heaven! And got my first good nights sleep there ever. I coordinated with my sister and she went to a furniture store sale and we bought a whole bedroom set as well. NOW, I feel even better about going out there to visit because I have a decent bedroom I can call my own as well as sleeping like a log. Unfortunately I didn't take any (before) photos of the bedroom and you'll have to excuse the pieced together photo of what it looks like now.
None the less, I is one Happy Camper Now!

  1. Yes, it seems no matter what we sleep on or in what position we sleep as we get older, everything hurts when you wake up. Glad your sleeping comfortably.
