Why Today?
It is vacuuming day here at my house. Not just the quick run through, but a thorough cleaning complete with doing the edges and moving easily movable objects. As I finished vacuuming my bedroom it happened. The vacuum broke. It was already party broken. I had changed the brush belt and could not get the lid to stay on. Apparently the holes in the plastic lid where the screws went lost its thread so the screws could not be replaced. I've been holding it together with rubber bands. Some how the lid slipped and part of it came up. I can't get the other half to come off now. It's over 8 years old, so it's time to go. Until I buy one, I get to look at the crumb strewn downstairs and hope no one stops by unexpectedly!

Sleeping on The Floor
Matt has been uncomfortable on our mattress for a long time. Between him tossing and turning and Amelia waking up at least twice a night, I have not been able to sleep well. I did have two weeks this summer where I slept very well and felt very rested - the Writer's Conference and at my brother's.
Amelia went with me to the conference, she did wake up twice a night then as well. My whole family was with me at my brother's house, so I was also woken up twice a night there. The biggest difference was Matt. He did not attend the conference with me, so no one tossed and turned in my bed all night. We slept on a futon mattress on the floor at my brother's, Matt slept well there.
With those two experiences in mind, I purchased a futon mattress. It arrived today, so I will know by tomorrow if it will work better for us than a regular bed. I'm hoping to have a platform bed soon to sleep on, but for now, we are on the floor. The kids think this is great fun. I will wait and see.
In other news: I finished the church newsletter today and I'm hoping to have it printed out tomorrow. It looks good. My laptop is dying, but I believe I have all my writing on my flash drive, except maybe for the most recent stuff. I really don't need one right now, but would like to have one for the conference next year.
