I've been SO busy!

   I have been SO busy, it's insane. Hubby's been working 12's AND weekends for an upcoming base event so I've been having to everything around the house. Mowing the yard, cleaning the garage and getting things together to sell. We have been selling and donating a few things we no longer need or have room for, and let me say there was a lot of it. I mentioned earlier our bed was ruined during our PCS over here. It was only 2 years old and we bought the mattress, boxspring and frame brand new off the floor, so to have it ruined kind of chapped my ass. It was a memory foam pillow-top that's like a latex foam material (which apparently retains moisture.) It was on the cargo ship for 3 months and when the movers unloaded everything they removed it from the cardboard box to bring it in the house which I'm assuming is when it got exposed to moisture. (Which I had no idea because that memory foam layer sucked up all the moisture, then released it later). 4 months later and we had black mold between our mattress and boxspring. Of course, we filed a claim so we could be reimbursed, and the moving company doesn't want to pay up. So I'm 99% positive it's going to be some time before we see that money. We went to the BX to buy a new mattress and boxspring set, and found one we really liked. We decided to upgrade from a queen size to a king, and of course they didn't have the model we wanted in stock.
 I asked the employee: "Well, how long will it take before you get more in?"
Employee: "Well, it can take anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks."
My reaction inside my head: "What the ffffffffffff!?!?!"
Me: "Um, okay well, I guess we'll just get whatever bed you DO have in stock, I mean we can't sleep on an air mattress for another 8 to 12 weeks."


   Well, as expected the only one they had that wasn't a Trump or Vera Wang bed set (seriously what military family with a small income can/will pay 3,000 for a mattress?!) was the most expensive Serta mattress. We had to take it. The BX is the only place that we can shop for an American mattress overseas. We could buy a German sized mattress, but they're not as thick and  are smaller, so you have to buy German sized sheets, etc. 

   Here she is!

   Since we had a queen sized bed before, we had to sell our frame and get a standard metal king sized frame. (The BX only had 2 king bed frames that included a headboard and footboard. Aghhhh.)

   I love having the extra room, I still wake up and realize I have about a foot of space before I hit the edge of the bed :)
