so, i called my mom to bitch about how overwhelmed i am and how i can't sleep and blah blah etc. she offered to come over and help me with housework. and by "offered," i mean pretty much insisted. i should be thrilled, right? but all i wanted was to talk.

i really hate doing housework with my mom. i love her a lot, but she's bossy.
It's a good thing you posted this on GTI, so I know not to answer the door in my underwear.
Hard to fault her heart being in the right place, but still; sometimes you gotta know when to shut up and listen.
i talked her out of coming. we had a nice brief IM chat and that was it. yay

she isn't here yet but i'm afraid she will just show up without calling first.
