The new neighbors

Guess how I met them? If you can call peeking out the spy hole actually meeting them. :) Well, I got woke up at 12:45 A.M. by people carrying a mattress upstairs. Okay, I am thinking maybe they just found one...were sleeping on the floor and we should all feel sorry for them. They will go into the bedroom, throw the mattress down and fall asleep exhausted.

Uh, no. An hour and a half goes by with constant walking (I suspect they wear army boots) and scraping. Yes, at 2 a.m. they are moving furniture.

My husband isn't home. Just my 14-year-old daughter, our dog and I. I think about doing something and then have visions of a meth head up there. He will shoot us all and that will be that. I call my husband.

He is working on building a business with some other guys and they are pulling an all-nighter to get a project ready for a presentation. I call him. He tells me he will come home immediately (an hr drive) and then go back to work.

Now I am feeling stupid. What happened to that young woman who lived alone? Before she moved in with anyone, before 1st marriage to THE JERK, before marriage to my Prince Charming.

So I do what any woman would do. I reach for a weapon.

Yes, a weapon.

The broom. I go into the dining area where above me they are playing hockey or something. And I tap 3 quick times. EVERYTHING stopped.

So maybe they are not meth heads. Maybe they won't kill me. And no, my husband does NOT need to come protect me. As long as I have my broom.

Lack of sleep

I have been fighting insomnia since I was eleven years old.

Lately I have been reading more and more about the side effects of
not sleeping well. Fatigue, weight problems, aching muscles,
memory lapses, and much more.

I suffer from many of those things. And I have one of the worst mattresses
ever. I posted before about this. These posts are to share not only my
sleep issues but to also try to solve them...by winning a new mattress!
It's the Sealy Posturepedic Innerspring Signature 11 Series innerspring
mattress! You can check out their mattresses here: http://www.sealy.com/

This mattress is available in : Twin, Full, Queen, Split Queen, King and CalKing.

Check out this information:

Distributes body weight away from the heavier parts of the body, relieving pressure from where it’s concentrated. Has a 7-zone pressure relief inlay with memory foam near your head and back of knees, and latex near your hips!

I actually bought a new mattress not that long ago. I went cheap. Sigh...When
will I learn? Some things are worth more money. Mattresses are one of those
items. So check out the contest here: http://www.bizziemommy.com/new-year-new-mattress-giveaway.html and maybe you can win!

I also have a button to the left to get to BizzieMommy.com's website where the
contest is.
