my mom emailed that she would be doing yardwork tomorrow and that "your daddy refuses to let anyone help him in the yard but i won't."  so i guess that means she won't refuse my help and is her roundabout way of asking for help?  my parents rarely ask for help although somehow when my mom does it's always at a bad time for me.  i can't go over tomorrow - going to be at the school so i'm going to go work for a few hours over there this morning.  cutting down all those tons of flowers they put in this year.  i hope she doesn't ask for help next week - i would hate to say no because i'm working on my own house but i'm not going to forbid scott from making plans and then go out and do something else after he took the time off.

 

why it is always right before the holidays that she needs help?  they don't celebrate anything so it's not even a thought for them and they don't get all that's involved.  ack!
