Adventures of My Week ~ July 15-21

A day late, but better than never – I alway say.   I want to get my week in reveiw posts out every Monday, and I am definitely working on making that happen going forward.  I decided to discontinue my Thankful Thursday posts since I can share it all in my week in reviews.

The couch the cat built

When we first got our cat Cinnamon, she would use our leather sofa as a spring board to jump from one location to another.  It was all so cute (at first) until one day I noticed her little back claws had began to make very slight slices in my sofa.  Now it’s one year later and she’s full grown and trained, so we took the seat cushions to be repaired by a leathersmith (which by the way, I’m not happy about). I should have my sofa back to normal in 3 to 4 business days – yea!

Painful memories of a good night sleep

We’re on mattress number 2 and about to purchase mattress number 3, all within one year.  Why you ask? I really loved the idea of having one of those memory foam beds, the commercials make them look like you can’t live (or sleep) without them.  We shopped around, found one we really liked (granted I only layed on it for 5 minutes in the store) and bought it.  about 3 months after, I could not get out of bed without help from my hubby.  My back would lock up and I would have to lay on the floor for a couple of minutes with my feet up the wall to relieve the stiffness. We called the company and expressed my discomfort – they graciously refunded us 100% and we began the quest again.  My husband convienced me that it was that “particular bed,” since he really wanted to stick with the memory foam style.  We ended up purchasing another brand of mattress and within a month…the same thing.  I think I’m all out of love with the memory foam.  So now we are starting over for the last time to find me a good night sleep.  I’ll keep you posted on this adventure.

Mini family getaway

We decided to plan a mini vacaction with my oldest daughter (and granddaughter) and middle son this past weekend, since our oldest son was away working in another state and our youngest daughter was on a week-long trip with some close family friends.  It’s more fun when we all are together for sure, but it was nice to get away and not have to worry about cooking, cleaning or working for three days.  The weather was nice and we stayed out of the hotel as much as we possibly could. Eventhough we stayed in the state, we got so see so many beautiful sites. I love Missouri.

We’ve decided to take another mini vacation once we are all back together again.
