Since we are downsizing, who knows when, I was hoping I'd get a smaller bed at some point. A king in the duplex is not a good mix (it leaves very little room and I'll be giving the kids the bigger room as it is). So when I was at my friend Jenn's house a couple weeks ago I asked if she had any furniture she was looking to sell b/c they downsized to be closer to fam (from Rio Rancho to Alb). She said they had this bed and when she talked to her husband they said they'd sell the whole thing (mattress, box spring, and frame) for $100. Wahooooo! This poor mama swooped up that deal! I bought new bedding after Levi and I separated the first time (that bedding) as a new karma kind of deal. I couldn't afford a new bed though. So now I have a new bed that doesn't sink, my back will be MUCH happier with support, and good karma! Win/Win! Plus, I will babysit Noah and Gracie for free any time as a thank-you! My king bedding fits, so I don't even have to buy new sheets, yay! I'm a happy mama. I have not had a bed with foot board and a head board since 1999! Sweeeeeeeeeet! It's so pretty. ahhhh.
Oh, and this is the bed I am getting the kids so they can share a room:
In a darker stain, Vance will have the bottom and I'll hang a sheet for privacy, the girls will each have a top part. I figure I will have this bed for years to come. I will probably save it and use it for my grandbabies. Pretty cool bed. I am selling Faith's loft bed, 2 dressers, my dresser and night stand, a huge computer desk, and a few other things to be able to buy it, also because I am not storing furniture, the only furniture I will store is Alorah's bed (because she loves it and I got an amazing deal on it) and possibly my childhood bedroom set, though most likely I will sell it and buy taller, wider dressers and pieces that store more. The closets are SO small in the duplex that when I stand in them I can put my hands against each side. 3 kids. One closet. Insert creativity! I will be storing off-season clothing and bedding, and other things that I cannot replace. Everything else is getting sold, and I'm okay with that! Oh, I will also have a rotation for the kids toys and books between the duplex and storage. I have a whole system in mind. We are going to make this work!!!!
Also, I will be filing for divorce this week.
