I enjoyed myself so much yesterday and just thought I would share it here. Something got into me and I just decided that I needed some change in the form of a new bed. This is something I was never able to do before because of that spouse of mine always crying bankruptcy and claiming there was no money. For 10 years I have been sleeping on a torn mattress on the floor with no bed frame. This house has always felt cluttered, old, and like a bachelor's pad or a college students dorm. I bought myself a very pretty bed and night stands, with a soft, squishy mattress which is perfect for me. I never thought that my house could actually start looking like a home. But there it was, looking quite cozy compared to EVER before. I had just rearranged all the living room furniture and my son's room as well which made such a drastic improvement. Suddenly everything looks so much more comfortable, there is so much more space, things look so much more orderly, and even the smell of the house is pleasant. The spouse was kind of smelly and sweaty, not the reason for leaving though.
Next item on the agenda, visit a spa. I have NEVER pampered myself. In fact I would find it somewhat embarrassing to get a back massage. But hey, its time to get over that isn't it!
Time to catch up on 10 years.........

Boy I can really relate to this post!! My back and my neck hurt all the time because of the crappy bed I have. Of course there is never any money for essentials, never mind pampering here!! The other day I got a haircut and felt like a new woman for a couple of hours!! It's amazing how something so small can make you feel so good! I can also relate to the house looking like a bachelor pad, he never wants to buy anything new, and thinks flowers and nice things for the house are a waste of money. The kids have crappy mattresses too. No bedroom sets or anything. One of the kids mattress is still on the floor with no rails! He's such a moron!!!!
Just wanted to thank you for the post hglucky---didn't mean to hijack your positive post!!! Have a wonderful day!!! :)
I am contemplating the bed myself, though I fear it's going to have to wait until next year unless I fall

This just started my day off in the right direction! Now I know why I always came back here were I began many years ago. I packed last Valentine's weekend for three days, while ex was at work, he would be gone for 3 days, home for 6. This is what I lived with for the last 13 years or so after he retired (cop) and started new job. Anyway, when he came home I was gone. I moved for three days, I left him with my Mom and Dad's (King) and their first (Double) beds, long story. When they retired and moved into mobile I somehow inherited them (I love old stuff, they were in ex shape) lol. He loved this old bed and I can tell you the truth the first thing I did when I got to Az and new apartment I bought a brand new bed. I too for the last 25 years spent most my life, really, on the floor, couch anywhere other than that bed. In fact I would sleep anywhere other than with him. This is really a wake up call this morning from all the post I have read. Nice to be back here. And guess what, he had to be out of the house, I sold, the next weekend and both beds went to the dump! Love too all, some of you may remember me, and thanks for listening.
Luv, Sherry
PS: For 25 years I lived with a for-sale sign in front of my home and now no one (ex) can kick me to the curb because I have my own home and bed!
Good for you! I went out & celebrated w/ a new comforter set! :) Girly, pink, yellow & floral ... & ALL MINE! ;) (while HE is sleeping in the shelter ... i feel an inkling of sorry for him, but he did it to himself).
Also, YES! Do a nice massage & pedicure or facial ... you deserve it! :)
