the comedic portion of the "mother-in-law doing my laundry" debacle, is the fact that i have turned it into somewhat of a game for me. she did our laundry on wednesday night...so thursday morning, i found some more laundry that needed to be done. i wanted to see if she would actually do it if i left it in the laundry room for her. and guess what? SHE DID! ALL OF IT! its as if she thought i was putting it there specifically for her! ahahahahahahaha! dude, i am never doing laundry again! two weeks before she comes i am stopping all laundry duties, stopping all cleaning duties, leaving all the dishes in the sink. that way when she comes to visit, SHE CAN DO IT ALL!

of course, when she got home last night...she batted her eyes and smiled and talked real sweet and gave reason after reason as to why she did our laundry. the WORST part about this whole thing is that she makes it IMPOSSIBLE to be angry with her to her face! she is an incredible manipulator! fantastic! i guess i should start taking notes...seems to have worked well for her thus far! she gets what she wants, when she wants it....
