The Mom Report

[susandennis]

Well, I think we can call the crematorium and put in a stop order. Yesterday she went to get her hair done. Today when I tried to tell her about my new desk, she wanted to talk about how she was going to decorate the new apartment she's moving into in the fall. And, just to prove to me that she's paying attention... Yesterday I told her about getting my contract extended. Today she says "So they want to keep your for another year? That's nice. Do you get to keep Stephen?" The interesting thing here is that I'm pretty darned sure that THE only time I EVER mentioned his name was last Thanksgiving when she asked "So, what's your boss's name?"

Oh yeah. She's on her way back.

My sister sent a note to us (me, bro, sister-in-law) wanting to coordinate visits. She's thinking she'll go in July and wants to know when we are going... Let me check my calendar. Oh, yeah. Thanksgiving. If Mom says to me 'please come visit me' I'll think about a trip before Thanksgiving but otherwise, I'll be there in November. I'm all about remote management.
