My mom and I are alike in some ways and polar opposites in others. Unfortunately for me, we are alike in the way that we stress about details and make lists and think of EVERY possibility of ANYTHING and probably drive everyone around us crazy with our attention to detail. This is a weakness I am working on, especially after watching my mom lately.

The woman is going to wear me out with this moving stuff! I called yesterday to have a 2 minute conversation with her and I ended up on the phone 30 minutes just listening to her ramble about all she needs to do to get to Kuwait- not to mention the other 4 phone calls I got within the hour about moving questions and tidbits… wow.

I love her, but this next week when she is taking care of me after my surgery is going to wear me out! Now she is trying to get Will and I to apply and move to be with them. She is going a thousand miles a minute and my head is spinning. Yet another reason I have to make this weakness a strength in my own life!

We are going to dinner with my mom and P tonight… usually something I look forward to… now I’m just getting my listening skills tuned so I’ll be ready.

She is meeting me this afternoon to go to my pre-op appointment so she’ll know all of the precautions and everything and I think I’m going to go back to her house to help her take pictures and stuff down, which is kind of sad because that is the only house that I could call mine. Before my dad retired from the military we moved around so much that I never really had a place to call home, but when we moved here, this place became home, so it will be a bittersweet afternoon. Just hope I can make it though with my sainity!
