A Day To Remember... Or Two....

Hubby and Daughter #1 are finally home. Daughter #2 and I had a great day in FSJ yesterday, as we waited for THE FLIGHT to come into the airport. We started out with lunch at Boston Pizza and then some shopping at Reitmans where Daughter #2 got some much needed peddle pushers. Then between all the jigs and reels, we ended up at the furniture store where I spied a really nice mattress and box spring. We ended up checking out new couches and bedroom furniture with wardrobes too. (Let me tell you wardrobes are a thing of the past.) Then we went to a hardware store and bought a compressor so that Hubby and I could carry on with our home renovations by using an air nailer.

We mosied out to the airport and got there in plenty of time to pick up Hubby and Daughter #1. Then Daughter #2 and I just waited until Hubby and Daughter #1 arrived. It was a good reunion though more reserved than I expected. Daughter #1 is growing up and throwing your arms around a mother in public is not cool. So I got a quick kiss and hug and then Hubby looked like he was going to fall over from fatigue. I think he hugged me because it was a momentary reprieve from standing independently. It didn't really matter as I was glad enough to see them for all of us.

I wanted to stop at the furniture store to have a look at the mattress and box spring with Hubby in tow. I really wanted the mattress as we have been sleeping for the last two years on this.



This is the combination of the two mattresses from our tent trailer. When our cat defecated on our mattress two years ago it made a quick one way trip to the dump since the stink was enough to knock you backwards. Enter the mattresses from the trailer. Now these mattresses are really comfortable. Of course, they would have to be to be able to sleep on them for two years. But there comes a time when even really good tent trailer mattresses can not stand up to the wear and tear of nightly use all year round. That is why with this new renovation, a new mattress was definitely in the works.

Hubby was in a good mood after his flight home. This was good. And he was tired. This too was good (especially for unannounced mattress shopping. And most important of all HE HAD JUST SLEPT ON AN INSTITUTION MATTRESS FOR TEN NIGHTS!!!! What could be better at this most opportune time than to go to a furniture store to try out decadent, wonderful, comfortable mattresses.

We pick up our new mattress and free memory foam pillows and mattress cover on Thursday.

Hubby also got to have a look at the different bedroom sets with wardrobes. I will have to wait till he is sick and tired of not being able to find his clothes and hit him up for the new wardrobes and furniture. I'm not really that calculating.... but it does seem so lately.

Never mind... our reunion was much more satisfactory in the privacy of our own home. Daughter #1 came to tears when I gave her a really nice hug once there were none of her peers to see. And Hubby, well.... lets just leave that to your imagination..... I'll just say this, I'm glad we are getting a new mattress.
