Preparing for the trip

She's called 3x this morning. "What is the weather like there?" "Should I bring short sleeves too?" She asked me in an excited voice this morning. It was great to hear her enthusiasm. She made me laugh too when I explained her sleeping situation. I told her we had a bed all set up for her in a small room off our master bedroom. She asked me did it have a door, and I told her no, but it was a room, she responded with "well you know I really want my own room with a door." Okay mom, I'll put you in a room with a door and one of the boys can sleep downstairs :) We talked about making sure she had all her medicine, and what time she needed to be ready. She was upset about the fact that the airlines charge now for an extra bag, because she said, if I'm coming for three weeks, I need to bring two suitcases. My heart about dropped when I heard her say that. It's the first time she's acknowledged she's going to stay for 3 weeks. So, I'm off to clean my son's room and get it all ready for my mom. That will be a day long task within itself. I'm really looking forward to her being here.
