I am at work. My mother is at my house, and just called to say she has washed the curtains and the windows, and re-nailed the two sagging curtain rods, and is planning a Kroger trip to get more paper towels and brass polish and some kind of furniture polish (although I have lemon oil and told her so). And she's taken down lamp globes and washed them.

I mean, I'm glad my house will be nicer, but also, is she crazy or what?

This is my mom, too. My houseis always cleaner and more organized when she comes to visit. It's a bit hard on my SIL (because it's someone else poking around her house who isn't her mom) but I tell her to try that yes, she is crazy, but she is just that way.

Cleaning I don't mind, actually. Once she rearranged our furniture, though, and that was over the line, for me.

My mother is the same way.

Wow, I say you're lucky.

Wow, I almost wish my mom would do that. Only...she wouldn't, and I don't, actually.

Take what you can get? Good luck? Remember, only localistas can really help bury the body?
