I'm stumbling and stammering about trying to simultaneously scare the rat out of our mattress with my shephard's crook while handing Stuart a box large enough to catch the critter. We have about 2 feet of room on each side of our queen bed to move about, so to flip the mattress and box spring up, and then maneuver around the bed frame still left in place, was ridiculous. Now what makes this even more humorous (or frightening) is that our bedroom is literally the size of most people's linen closets. A PACKRAT THE SIZE OF A CAT.īefore we could even process the fact that there was (literally) a cat sized rodent IN OUR MATTRESS we had the whole thing flipped up on its side against the wall. He rolled over in bed and threw his head down to peek underneath.Ī PACKRAT. But… you'll never guess what I found in my mattress that night. “Yep, I'm pretty sure it's a demon.” Now, I'm no sissy, after all – we live in the middle of orchard country on a farm. ![]() “A demon, I'm pretty sure.” I chattered back.

I did the math – it equates out to about 5,840 sleeps (minus a few vacations, etc.).Īnd if I'm being honest here, it was all great until about sleep #3000.Īt about sleep #3000, the ‘ol girl just wasn't cutting the mustard. The $699 pillow top mattress was delivered to my parents doorstep a few weeks later and since that day, I've been putting it to use each and every day. No? You don't know? Pillow top mattresses weren't on the top of your priority list when you were 16? Am I totally alone in this? Pillow top mattresses were all the rage, ya know? But I did it because I'm stubborn, and dangit, I wanted that pillow top mattress. That was a lot of money for a 16 year old (especially one earning about $7/hr).
