Last night:
me: Is tomorrow the day your mother's coming?
hubby: I don't know -- is it?
me: I think that's what you told me a while ago.
This a.m.... 8:00ish:
Brrrrrring!
me: Hello?
mother-in-law: Hi, it's me. I'm at the train station. The train is running a little behind schedule.
---------------------
Off to clean a bathroom!!
Oh, I know some of you have Girl Scout cookies. I need a box... NOW!
Oh my Gosh- your title just brought me back to Ally McBeal (during the years she show was actually good). Remember John "pre-flushing" the toilet in the unisex bathroom because he "liked a freah bowl"? LOL
Have fun with your mother-in-law!

hehehehehe. I liked the dismount better....
Thank God my MiL is too far away for a casual train ride. Or my mother for that matter....

Yikes! Hope you're surviving the visit. :)
Sending you girl scout cookies....mentally, at least!

OK, now I'm gonna have to pull out my old Ally tapes and watch 'em!
Caltechgirl,
:-) ... for my hubby & his Mom, all visits are very casual... even though it's a 5-hour ride. And actually, I wouldn't put it past my mother to jet in from Florida for her grandson's 1st birthday! I don't think I'll say that too loudly... she may appear!
Tammy,
THANKS! and Thin Mints!!?? My favorites.

Any chance that this could turn out to be a "nice" visit? I have had both good and really bad, so I'm sending positive vibes just in case they help.

Oh, hope it goes OK. Perhaps you weren't sure of the date because you didn't want it to be true? ;)

Oh yeah, it'll be nice... I always appreciate the help. And it's my son's birthday this week! I just like to know the plans because I like to have my house in better shape than it was in today. Amazing what you can get done with a short deadline though... :-)

I know how you feel. My in-laws live about 6 hours away, and thank goodness they visit often---my house never gets as clean as it is when they are about to arrive.
