Sweet Dreams

Last night was just another restful night at the Stone House. Max was at school helping his shop teacher with a project. Hubby and I sat in the hot tub and then retired to bed ten thirtyish. Max came home, was chatting with us, when the conversation turned to chairs. He needs one in our bedroom for when he comes home and chats with us. He was sitting on the floor. Then the conversation went to chairs...

Max and Hubby are chatting about other things and my brain is stuck on chairs. I blurt out, "honey, you were right, we shouldn't have brought that chair to the dump."

Max and Hubby look at me like I'm crazy and I am so that's okay.

Me- "you know."

Them- "uh, no we don't."

Me-"the red upholstered chair that I bought at a garage sale with Sam a million years ago, well not really red, it's faded."

Them- "what chair, what garage sale, what are you talking about?"

Me- "the upholstered chair! that was in the carport and we brought it to the dump!"

Hubby- "It's still out there."

Me- "No."

Hubby- "Yes."

Back and forth we go, Max is putting in his two cents and we go on and on...

Hubby- "It's out there."

Me- "SHUTUP!!!"- in a good way!

Hubby-"I'll go find it right now!" By now they have both lost patience with me and just want me to see the chair and go to sleep.

So, we hop out of bed, Hubby goes out to the carport and comes back with the chair.

I am so happy! A chair! A little chair that will fit through the guest room door(it's tiny)! I go online and find the slipcover that I'd seen on sale for $9.98, regular $69.95. It is this slip cover that got me feeling bad that I'd dumped the chair in the first place.

I can redo it myself if the slipcover doesn't work out, I just know it.

I do a happy dance all the way back to bed!

At that point Max left the house to camp out at school to have first choice of activities for LCHS's Outside the Walls. Of course I lay there wondering if that was good parenting to let him stay out all night. Toss and turn a bit...

Let that thought go, he's a good kid, drift off to sleep.

I fell asleep dreaming of my cute little chair with BiG potential.

I woke up when my alarm went off at 12:30 a.m. to start two crock pots of breakfast casserole for the museum docent's breakfast this morning. Sleep interrupted.

Then I took a nap until six and hopped out of bed for the day.

At eight Max and friends came home from camping at school to sit in the hot tub before their day begins at school.

I think we'll all go the bed early tonight. I'm tired...
