    Shera, that sounds like such a hoot! I got my “ab exercise” this morning laughing over this story.

    Too bad you didn’t get a video to send in to America’s Funniest Home Videos. That would be perfect LOL!

    You did, as always, an amazing job retelling the story but you missed one little point. As the cars were driving by you actually said “maybe someone will stop and help us” and you sounded HOPEFUL! I was mortified hoping and praying that we somehow blended into the landscape, or came across as 2 perfectly normal women doing a little moving. Not you, you were ready to flag down a innocent passing motorest. Have you no PRIDE?! This experience has taught me two things; first, a kingsize matress has no backbone to keep it standing up straight on two sleds (the one flaw in my otherwise brilliant plan). Second, there is no one I laugh harder with than my sister! love you!

    Oh Shera that was such a fun story to read to start off the day LOL If only you had had pictures of this sled and mattress! I hope you got some organizing done after all that! Reminds me of when my mom and I tried to get a queen sized mattress up a tiny flight of stairs, I was laughing so hard I slid down the stairs with it pinning my mom against a wall with the mattress and she was laughing so hard she couldn’t tell me she was pinned. Women should NOT move a mattress!!!
