It will taper off, but one last hurrah wasn't bad. I was so glad to see her.
Talked to my mother this weekend, who has totally just stressed me out. She wanted help with the rooms (FINALLY) and I told her I'd be glad to pitch in. Then she starts talking about how she doesn't have time to paint both rooms -- she didn't know she'd be painting the master suite I'm moving into, as well.
This is amusing, as we had a whole conversation TWO MONTHS AGO about how I'd do it myself to save her the work, and she declined that offer, saying that she wants it done right (she's a professional painter) so she'd take care of it. Then she asked if I wanted to do the painting before or after I moved in and I said before would work best, because the two cats will cause havoc if we try to do it after.
You seriously forgot those conversations?
Then she starts in about how she's working three jobs simultaneously and she can't possibly paint both rooms, because it will kill her, and "didn't you want to move in by October 1st?"
Yes, that was the time-line I gave you two months ago, and you just ignored it until the last minute, so now we're rushing.
Fine. I just told her we'll keep the room the blue it is now and when she gets some free time in the future, we'll revisit the painting thing. I'm not in the mood to argue and bicker.
I'm irritated because she's had free time to work on this; I know she has. She even promised me a while ago that this (IE: cleaning out the spare room, moving brother's furniture into that room and then me into the master bedroom) would be made her priority...and that never happened. She resisted all my gentle questions asking for rough ideas on when she expected X, Y and Z to come together and now we're in a mad sprint to get stuff completed.
H has been pushing at me to know when I'll be out so he can get his beloved "personal space", and when I told mom that, her response was "too bad for him".
So, I guess it's looking like next weekend will be the move date, provided everything comes together like it's supposed to.
I'm just so raw and hurty and anxious and unhappy with everything going down.
