Yes today is Sunday and Sherri and I both woke up in the recliners….Why! You ask…Our new mattress is conforming to its surroundings. We bought a memory foam mattress and once it is released from its vacuum sealed bag it has to return to it original size. I did not know they could get that mattress sucked down to the size it was in that bag. Well we had to wait 24 hours for it to complete it’s metamorphosis while laying on our other mattress.
I told Sherri last night when we released it from it’s vacuum bag that if something should happen and it went through the metamorphosis faster than we expected that I would be trapped in the bedroom and that she should call 911 as soon as she could before I suffocated. As things would have it once released from captivity the mattress acted as it should. Now we had to wait for the 24 hours to pass before we could sleep in the bed…therefore we slept in the recliners where you found us this morning.
Sherri got up and made coffee and I slipped into the bedroom to check on the progress of the mattress. All seemed to be progressing well and I felt like that we would be able to sleep on it tonight.
Sherri and I spent some time this morning discussing our plans for Christmas. How many out there find it hard to share Christmas with all the in-laws? I am just not into sharing my kids with other parents. Now don’t get me wrong I don’t dislike our children’s in-laws…some of them I have never even met. But I just like to spend time with my kids and their children when we are celebrating birthdays and Christmas and not feel like I have to share my time with others.
So what this boils down to folks is this….We let our kids spend time with their in-laws during the Holidays and we take them before or after so we can spend quality time with just them. Everyone is a winner if you do this and you don’t feel slighted…nor do they. The kids don’t have to worry about us all getting along and they are more at ease.
This is why Sherri and I have planned on spending time with the kids before Christmas and after Christmas. We might even get together in January and celebrate my birthday and Sherri’s then…You know Sherri’s B-day is Christmas day….OH yea that is a bummer for her so by celebrating in January…my B-day month and our youngest son’s she can feel like it is more of a Birthday to her.
We had just finalized our plan when the phone rang and it was Jim Walter…Dee’s husband. Jim was needing some information about his propane tanks and Sherri and I got to howdy with them both for a while. They are so lucky to have a family like the Dreamers to pull information from. When Sherri and I started there was no Internet and no Forums to read about how to do all this. We just had to muddle through it all and trial and error until we got it right…or broke it!
OK we have to do a load of laundry this morning before we head out to Tyler so I guess I best get shaking here. We will have about an hour and fifteen minute drive to the RV Park and then get set up and eat some lunch! GEEE I am getting hungry. I would love to stay here and chat with you longer but it is time for me to move along and make tracks…
