Here we are, she's moved into one of our spare rooms, with all her belongings pretty much taking over our other spare room, and encroaching into various parts of our place. Now, I'm rather, let's say particular in how I like my home organised, set up etc etc. First day she'd been here, my kettle, toaster & cutlery stands had been MOVED AROUND!!! And that was just the beginning!
She couldn't even understand why I didn't want her old white and yellow checked dish towel in my kitchen. I tried to explain that if it's not in any shade of red, not pink, but red, then it's not allowed in. I think after that she began to understand my pseudo OCD complex. Coz I don't think it's actual OCD, I'm not that bad. But I'm sure everyone has colour schemes their adhere to in their various rooms, and in the structure of things placed around the home. Otherwise there'd be no order, and who'd want that!!! And, no I am not getting mildly hysterical, although I know that multiple exclamation marks are an indication of such.
Anyway.
Today, she took 2 hours to do the dishes. TWO. HOURS. It's not even something my brain can comprehend, but alas, I work on my breathing techniques. Or does anyone have any other techniques in dealing with their moms?
So today Rich and I finally got around to watching The Hangover 2, with Storm, my sister. Tho whilst we were at the cinemas I saw the poster for Bridesmaids, and got me thinking about my bridesmaid's dresses. I always had the inclination to do same styles but different colours, to differentiate maid of honour from bridesmaid etc. But now am thinking of doing all the same colour but different styles. My best friend Tanya is my maid of honour but then my sister Helga who's in London is a maid of honour bridesmaid hybrid. Then my sister Storm is also my bridesmaid. Think it will be best to work with each body type instead of getting one style to suit all 3.....??? I would love to do something wildly horrendous involving peach and meringue style creations just for Storm, coz she's been on my case for years and years that if she ever gets to be my bridesmaid I cannot put her in anything what I've just described. Of course I wouldn't, I'd want them all looking beautiful, but it is a HUGE temptation! Along with that she's been badgering us (Do badgers really "Badger" or do they just have a bad rep? Some other animals can be really annoying to the point that they start to badger but you don't hear people say "He's really been dogging us" Well maybe that's a really bad example... And with some slight sexual connotations. But you get my point) Where was I, oh yes, she's been pestering us on all things related to why we aren't married with lots of sprogs yet. This has been going on for the best part of 11 years, coming up with different and varied responses each time actually causes Rich some amusement. Coz he can have quite a dry dark sense of humour at times.
The pic is of me, my mom in the red, Sue (my stepmom) and Storm. At our engagement party.
Goal for this week, or should I say Wedding Goal for this week: To get a photographer, am stressing about that. April is huge wedding month and we need to get our asses into gear! That and to try deal with my mom better, coz I do love her lots, means so well and has good intentions. And yes, there is a proverbial but there!
