My mom emailed me today. She said that due to medical problems - which she has a lot of - she is out of work and may be out of work for several months. She won't have any income either. So she asked if next month if she could come and visit. For a really long time. Or at least a couple of weeks. In my world, that is a really long time. Entirely too long. How in the world do I politely say, "Um, not a chance in the devil's lair." I like my mom. I like her 2 states, 1 layover, and over 800 miles away.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have to go burn my house down so I have a legitimate excuse to say she can't come.

Dayum. I love my mother & I would love to help her out if she was out of work & unable to pay 90% of her bills .... but I think I'd have to let her have my house while I went to a homeless shelter before I could live with her for an extended time. Too much like high school, only now I'm paying the bills & she's on my couch (and still telling me what to do).
Good luck girl. Try for an electrical fire ~ those are harder for the arson investigators to prove than the gas or candle fires. What? I know strange (and sometimes helpful) bits of trivia. It's not like I've ever tried to burn my house down ... on purpose.
ACK!
Is she allergic to anything you can spread all over the house?
Hee Hee, you both are funny; thanks for the tips! Sadly, the only thing she is truly allergic to is babies; she can't stand them. But that isn't enough reason for me to go and get pregnant.
