We bought a new bed. I am still shaking a little from the "unnecessary" cost, but it sure will be nice once we are sleeping on it. We upgraded to the king size from the queen size we have had for our entire marriage. We currently have a Select Comfort and have really not had any problems with it, it is just too small. For some reason it isn't just the two of us we need room for, but also a dog and a kid and maybe another kid in the future. The dog takes up enough room for two small children so that leaves Scott and I with exactly 4" each on our respective sides of the bed. We COULD put the dog in the crate, but she is a great snuggler and a really pitiful whiner. She can manage to pout so loudly without making a sound....deep sighs, bumps and digging in her crate, more heavy sighs....followed by a forlorn flop....it isn't pretty. And if you can resist her big amber eyes you are a stronger person than I am. Just pitiful I tell you!
So anyway, we bought a new king size Select Comfort (for $5 million...or so it feels) so now that means that we have to get a new bed frame/headboard/foot board. The mattress will be here in a week so we have to scramble to have the new bed here by then. Last night was Busy Monday, so that left tonight as the only option....and now I have to go to a meeting in Lodi. Should be short, but it means I won't be home until at least 8:00. Hope I can swing by Slumberland for a few minutes and see what they have before they close so we can get things rolling.
Scott worked all day on Saturday, while Caleb and I managed to do some grocery shopping. I sorted a few things out in the basement for the upcoming rummage sale and attempted to find my kitchen counters again. Saturday night, Scott and I managed to go on a "date" which was the first time we have been out alone together since August. Time sure flies.... We went to Flat Top Grill, then wanted to go bowling but all the lanes were taken so we ended up at a movie. We saw "Fool's Gold" which we both found very entertaining and then went home and collapsed. It was a very nice evening; it was nice to be able to look at each other and not talk about scheduling and Caleb for a little while. Although, it was tough to come up with anything else to talk about.
Our friends who were watching Caleb also left their dog for us to puppy sit while they returned to Michigan to sign off on the sale of their house. Cole (the puppy) is definitely a challenge! I am SOOOOOOO glad they are coming to pick him up soon. He is only 5 months old, but he is bigger than Ruby and just won't leave her alone. He keeps biting at her ears and feet, both of which she is really sensitive about, so she has been hiding under the table for two days. We have resorted to just keeping them separated the majority of the time, which makes things extra interesting. Cole can't be left alone for a second because he walks away with anything that is at nose level.....balls, papers, sweaters, slippers, socks, mittens, pens, crayons, stuffed toys, a hair brush...the list is endless. I even caught him with stuff he must have gotten off the kitchen counter; fun! I know he is just a puppy, but it makes me REALLY glad that we are past that stage, both with Ruby AND with Caleb. They listen equally well and can both follow simple commands. Life is good!
Sunday was kind of a waste (besides the buying the bed thing) although the weather was actually kind of nice for the first time in weeks. It was in the mid 30°s and the sun felt very warm. Didn't even need a coat when we went outside so that was a pleasant change. Had a few friends over for dinner Sunday night and then watched something recorded on the DVR. Not very exciting, but not very relaxing either. Didn't get nearly as much time to crochet as I wanted....in fact I didn't get anything done at all. *sigh* And now with the meeting tonight, bunco tomorrow and swimming lessons on Thursday and Scott's family here this weekend I doubt I will be getting anything done in the near future either. Can some one please invent the 26 hour day so I can get more stuff done? Please?
