mommy's coming

so Mom is visiting for an entire week, 8 days and 7 nights to be exact. Im excited to see her, its been 4 months. But 8 days with just the two of us could be a recipe for disaster. My saving grace is work, we wont be in each other's face all day - and that will help. Im looking forward to hearing how I need to be a better home maker, driver, dresser, etc... lol. The idea is Mom is coming to help me pack it all up- as I prepare for my exodus. Which couldnt have come at a better time. I started packing then got overwhelmed as boxes began to pile higher and higher. This is my 4th big move in 6 yrs I should be used to it. At any rate, I definately appreciate her coming out to help.

Im trying to rack my brain around "cost-efficient" (I am moving-can we say expensive as hell) fun things to do. I thought about pedicures, lots of window shopping, maybe even a fancy brunch or something. We'll see how this thing pans out.

The funny thing about this is- even Mom is coming to help me pack and clean up- I have to pack and clean up for her arrival. What is that about? Im sure Im not the only one who has the parent coming to visit- got clean and prepare ritual... I wonder if my Mom does that when I come home, or did she do that when her parents would visit her? Its all about making our loved ones feel comfortable.

until next time...
