Mattress

The day my mom came into to town Murray being the wonderful husband he is came home during his lunch break to move our mattress up into the guest room. Murray and I didn't sleep so well that night because air mattresses don't work so well when on tile. I figured out that by putting a blanket under me I stayed warm but that was around 4:00am. My Mom wanted to get us another mattress. The next day we ran around trying to do far too many things with two young children in tow and didn't end up getting the mattress until 9:00pm. Murray ended up taking the girls home from dinner and my mom and I went to get the mattress. This seemed just fine until after buying it they expected me to tie it to the van and drive it home. I almost begged for them to help me at least tie it to the van. Once one guy agreed and helped I realized he had never secured a mattress to a car. Even I was making suggestions. This thing was hanging a foot off each side and was being held by the tiniest piece of twine you have ever seen and I had to get it home? I drove about 10 mph the entire way home and sadly had to make many left hand turns and was unable to see out of my rear view because of a giant box spring blocking the way. I slowed many left lane speeders down that night. I kept thinking "What am I going to do if this thing slides off the top in the middle of the road? I could never get it back up there! Was I going to call Murray to wake up the girls to help us pick a mattress up out of the road. As usual, my worrying was unnecessary. We were blessed and angels held that sucker up there for us, all the way home.
