I love your mother.
She'd be the perfect star of a sitcom. Do you watch "The King of Queens"? Sounds like her character and the Arthur character would make a perfect couple. Thanks for this post. I really needed it. :)

That may be worse than the last minute shopping Dad on a TLC ad who gives his kids protein powder and bologna.

Your mother and my aunts should get together! Wait . . . no . . . that'd be just too frightening!
One year they sent J's daughter (who was 9 or 10 at the time) bug repellant for Christmas.
YIKES!

Maybe the curtains are special ones to be hung to keep aliens from returning.

Are your new socks something you would dare to wear in public????
(And by the way, instead of FedExing some snow, perhaps you could comandeer a dump truck? I have friends who want to go skiing this weekend, but may not be able to go due to a dearth of the white stuff . . . .)

OK I could have handled the strange food
except for the store bought potato salad as that should be banned by the FDA. My mother in law is capable of much, much worse.
The gifts are ummm "interesting". Your mom sounds like quite a character!
