Me and my husband got a 4 inch mattress pad for christmas and he is deploying soon so I am just putting our stuff in storage and driving our car back home with a few things I need in it. I want to take the mattress pad but don’t know how to pack it to fit in the car cause it doesn’t fold. I thought about one of the space saver vaccuum bag but I dont know if it would work.
when it was packaged it was in like a vaccuum sealed plastic thing but when we opened it then it immediately started getting bigger which is whats its supposed to do, im not sure if i could roll it, its gonna be hard to even fold it to try to get it into a vacuum sealed bag

We get some pretty heavy duty rain in the fall which turns the yard into a muddy mess until it freezes. I have a doggy door which allows the dogs to come and go as they please. In our super muddy months I put down rugs, old flannel sheets and I have an interior gate that I close when they go out. When they come back in they spend a couple minutes IN the laundry room on absorbent things before they get to run free in the house again. My dogs are house dogs and total weather wimps……so locking them out is NOT a solution. ..lol

Other then what I’m doing now… and foot rinsing …has anyone come up with any super clever solutions to hold down those muddy tracks during the wet weather?
Added:
As the post states there are rugs by the doors. But…thanks.
Ohhh…. I do like the gravel idea a lot. There is lawn out there, but they have their routine dog trails cut in pretty deep. Thanks!
Legit:

Love both the mulching ideas too! Don’t know why I didn’t think of that.

The dogs do dance around on the rugs in the laundry room. They are boxers…they never hold still…lol They come back in all fired up and hop around waiting for me to come open the interior gate.

lately I’ve been having back pain on the right lower side. My mattress is around 7 years old, I know it’s to blame. I can’t afford a new mattress so I decided to buy a mattress pad. I went to walmart and saw an abundance of choices I’m just not sure which one I should choose. I saw ones with gel in them and some that are memory foam. I don’t wanna buy one and find out that I don’t like it or that it doesn’t live up to it’s expectations and have to go out and spend more money just to find one I like. does any one have any suggestions on which one I should choose???

I feel pleasant as I shut my window and slip into my canopy bed. Swaddling myself in flannel sheets, I curl up into a ball and pull the plaid duvet over my head. My soft mattress swallows me as I melt and become one with the satin pillowcase. Night is a time of peacefulness, of rest, of relaxation. Night is an escape from the sharp reality of high school situations. I’ve always been the dreamer, the one who wanted to fly high. The one who has the potential to fly high. My thoughts float from scheme to scheme, constantly pondering the detail of everything. Inside my mind, I’m a very mean person. I create plans that could ruin the lives of those around me. Inside my mind, I am vengeful; in reality, I’m not. I can’t stand to watch others experience pain. My mom says that I’m just nice, and that nice people don’t have good high school experiences. Although, I don’t think I would consider my high school experience bad. I have a 4.5 GPA and am a 3 season varsity athlete, it’s just a question of the amount of fun I’m having.
My eyelids seal shut as my mind slips into a world of endless possibilities, a world without stress or situations to handle. A world that is a blank slate waiting to be written at the hands of my whims. My limp body melds with the tent of blankets and…
Clouds of magenta fog surround me as I clasp a soft, masculine hand. I see his wispy silhouette through the mist. My heart starts to throb as an internal fire flushes throughout my entire body. Panels of blue silk fall from the sky and billow to the ground. I can see only his eyes as he steps forward to embrace me. Whether it was from the alcohol of earlier that night or my own general personality, a sort of loopy romanticism washes over me as I feel him kiss my forehead.
I wriggle happily and roll over to my left, when a heavy thump of great force on the bed breaks my slumber. I hear a spring break upon impact and by reflex immediately sit up. I see a dark figure making sharp, indecisive movements next to the edge of my bed, torn between me and the window of escape. Although it is only a few moments, a few ticks of the second hand on a clock, time slows down for the deciding moments of one’s life. More clearly and more memorable can a few important seconds be than the hours upon hours and days upon days in the scheme of our lives. And it only takes a moment for me to glimpse his face and know why he is here.
My wave of panicked adrenaline hasn’t even had time to arrive when his muscular left arm swings a large mallet towards the right side of my head.

this is a rough draft

the rest of the story is told from the point of view of her best friend who embarks on a quest to ensnare her killer

I have a heated mattress pad on my bed and I’m 34 weeks pregnant. The control dial fell on the floor and turned on and I did not know it. It was on the high setting for about 1 1/2 hours while I was in bed. When I realized it was on, I turned it off, but now I’m afraid it may have hurt the baby. I sleep on my side, but roll forward a bit, so the side of my belly was on the bed. Does anyone know if it is safe to use heated mattress pads or know if it gets hot enough to harm the baby?

Our financial situation:
My boyfriend works at Tim Hortons (.25/hr)
& I babysit a 3 year old (.00/day)

We have a 16 month old, and a 2 week old.

Education:
+ My boyfriend goes to highschool, Monday-Friday 9am-3pm
+ I am studying for my GED

As a family of 4 we are currently living with his family
(his mother, father & brother) who are very good to us,
if we don’t have enough money for something,
milk for example, they’ll let us use some of theirs or
will give us the few extra dollars we needed to buy some.
(of course we would pay them back)

My aunt has asked me if I’de like to move in with her.
Is this a good Idea?
I’de be babysitting a 3 year old in their house,
raising my two children in their house,
and then I would also be making it harder for my boyfriend
to see his children.. between work & school I mean.

But, I wouldn’t have to share ONE bedroom between 4 people..
In my In-laws, I share my boyfriends room with Him, and our
two children.. Thats a double bed, a bassinet & a crib in ONE room.

In my aunts she has her & her husbands bedroom, which comes
off to their nursery, (they’re TTC)
then they also have 2 other bedrooms.
Which means, I could take the bassinet and put it in one room
with me, and put the crib in another for my older baby..
or put the crib, bassinet in the same room.
(I’m saving up for a BYOB) [Air mattress/Bed]

Any ideas?
Should we do it?

Note: we aren’t of age to rent an apartment, so that’s out of
the question, I wish we could though.
TTC = trying to concieve
