The Saga Continues

Ok, they delivered the mattress and split box springs. I figured, now we'll have a nice new bed to sleep on tonight. I mean, what could happen, we have the split box springs, we know the mattress will fit, what else could possibly go wrong. Well, they brought them in and laid one of them on the bed and it didn't fit lenghwise. They were too long! Unbelievable, all I could think of was this can't be happening. I discovered, much to my surprise that a queen size mattress is longer as well as wider. I never had one before, I didn't know this information. The bed we have is supposed to be adjustable for a full or queen bed. Not! So, needless to say we had to send the split box springs back, since we thought we would never be able to have a queen mattress. Now, we still have the original queen mattress and box springs they attempted to get upstairs two weeks ago, in the spare room. I call Sears again, and explain the same old story along with the new addition. To make a long story short, I was on the phone off and on all day Friday trying to get this straightened out. We finally figured that if they deliver the split box springs again along with a queen bed frame, they can take the original box springs and full frame back in exchange. I know, everyone is confused, especially Art. He doesn't even want to know any more about it. I have explained this whole situation at least a half a dozen times on the phone to different people in the last day and a half. I am now waiting to hear again about a final (hopefully) delivery.

To top things off, after the delivery men left I noticed a problem with the bed frame on our current bed. I guess after taking the bed apart and putting it back together 2 times, along with numerous moves we've made the bed just couldn't take any more. Part of the bed that the frame attaches to at the foot board separated from the rest of the foot board. Thus, making the bed inoperable for sleeping on until I was able to do something to stabilize it. Unfortunately, I was not going to be able to do anything until much later in the evening, or should I say morning. I was scheduled to go over and babysit so Katie and her mom could go to the Bengals game. By the time I got back and finished all I could on the bed it was 1:00AM. And I had a blister on each hand to show for it. So, I guess you could say it wasn't on of my better days. I am looking forward to more enjoyable days in the future, hopefully with a new mattress and box springs in it. I'll let you know the next installment whenever they deliver again. Pam
