When we orginally booked her flight out here I was looking forward to it but if you know anything about my mom you know she is where I got a lot of my charactaristics from (duh). Most noteable might be my judgmental side.
Now I have no problem admitting this! I am judgmental! Anything/one I see or do is constantly under scrutiny. I wish I could stop, but it is actually getting worse now that I am in the working world! and I don't mind it soo much!
For example: last week we had meeting with a big wig from corporate. It was just lunch- but some of the conversations that the others at the table were having were just INAPPROPRIATE! Also, we went to a mexican restaurant. I chose my lunch carefully- you should never eat anything too messy or too much when you are on lunch for business. Salads are always a good selection. But these other people just were little piggys! I won't even talk about the other aspects- like dress- actually I will. A few of the people wear uniforms on a regular basis- also hard hats as we work in a plant. It was almost like they wore the dirtiest uniform and purposely had hat hair. YUCK. So in my head I announced myself as the favorite at lunch!
Anyway- back onto my mom. Since she is judgmental I have been working off of a cleaning schedule in order to make sure things organized and clean.

Tonight I am going to work on just putting everything into place and putting out some more woodwicks so it smells nice. That is another one of my obsessions!
My mom will be here for a month- which could be a looong time- but I think I can make it. My mom and I do have a love/hate relationship but I am leaving for a week and then we will spend sometime down in Phoenix on the weekends. Should go fast. Plus I have plenty of things for her to work on- sewing buttons, heming, cleaning, cooking etc. So hopefully she will be busy as well!
Anyway- Excited for the weekend! See you soon Mama!
