Erika has been complaining to us that her old mattresses were not good and she sunk to the middle and couldn't get a good night's sleep. So we went and purchased her a new mattress and box springs. It was a little more than we planned on spending, but for her to sleep better and do better in school, we just went ahead and spent the extra. She was so happy when she came home from Cortney's birthday party to find the mattresses already delivered. She immediately decided to re-arrange her room, including the bed. We are still waiting for the headboard to come in, but for now she is happy. She did comment to us that now she can't say her prayers, because the bed is too high from the floor. I told her that we could take them back, but she said she would some how manage.On another note, when we went to get her from Cortney's party, Sharri took the car that Erika drives to pick her up. When we came home and pulled up in the drive way, Erika grabbed the keys and turned the car off, thinking that her mom would grab them. Well, Sharri thought since Erika turned the car off, that she took the keys, hence the keys got locked in the car and all the doors where locked. Earlier, Sharri thought to herself as she was driving the car, that we still need to make extra copies of her car keys. Not having an extra set is not very smart. What a day to lock the keys in the car. Erika freaked out immediately and tried to open the door with a bobby pin. We call our neighbor who works at a transmission shop and asked him if he had a slim jim to open the doors. He came after work and opened them right up with the right slim jim. We thought we might have to call a towing business to open the car doors, but our neighbor is a life saver. We owe him dinner or something. He has helped us out many times with our cars. Thanks Greg. So, now Erika is happy with her new bed and her car keys NOT locked in her car. What will be the next drama for this cute 17 year old daughter?
