Don't Buy Yourself A Mattress

 Whatever you do, don't buy yourself a mattress. If you do, you will have a plumbing problem, your daughter will need minor surgery on her toe, your cat will need to visit the vet, your vacuum will break, your car will need work done, your freezer will stop working and all the food will spoil, and your son will need you to get him a trombone for 6th grade band. All true for us this past month. Despite that we are sleeping surprisingly well because through all of it we've recognized our blessings, and oh, yeah, a new mattress.
