I broke the bed!!

Last night, Matthew was on the bed surfing the web on the laptop, so I decided to climb up behind him and look on. That put me on the corner of the bed. Apparently, the leg near the top of the bed (the one that's on a bar that spans the width of the mattress) wasn't stable, and I guess I put too much force on one corner of the bed, because it gave way!! Down I went, right onto the floor. The leg snapped it's bar off the frame, but the bar and the bed were still pretty well intact.

So, since we didn't have the guest bed clean, I was afraid the bed would collapse further and crush the cats who all gathered under it to see what was going on, and it was already 1am, Matthew had the bright idea of using the car jack to jack up and hold the bar! He figured if it could hold up a Jeep Grand Cherokee, why not hold up a bed? So, he jacked the bar with the leg back into place, and it's holding our mattress up as we speak!
