Single Parenthood and Popped Mattresses
One of the things that makes being a single parent hard is starting life over. Since my ex has the house, and everything in it, I have very few things at my apartment. Not that I mind, I really like that it’s forced me to live very simply. It’s a mixed blessing that I hadn’t counted on, but that’s freeing in so many ways.
To save some money, I bought an inflatable bed at Costco. I came home to find a HUGE lump in it, where it looks like some kind of inner seam tore, causing a bubble at least 6 inches high, maybe two feet across. So tonight, I go from sleeping on an inflatable mattress to sleeping on the floor.
Next stop, Craigslist, to find an inexpensive (or free!) mattress.
