The Try

At noon, when I reminded Mom of my pending trip south, she had the audacity to say "no, you're not". After all these years and she doesn't know that is a red flag to me..Geez.

I asked her "trying to put a guilt trip on me?" No answer. Then she said "I'm 92 and can't be here alone". So my reply was "I can get you a room in the Manor at the hospital if you are not comfortable here by yourself". That was a resounding "NO" from her. So..wonder what she will come up with next. This is why I usually wait until the day before I leave to tell her. Lord, don't let me EVER be this way with my kids.
