I capitulated.

My weakness definitely has something to do with the insane workload C and I have at the moment, me overdosing myself with benadryl last week, plus I had a nasty post-injection day and post-post-injection day (because I was an idjit on post-injection day), to the point where I in a brief moment of insanity yesterday morning actually considered changing meds.

So what did I do? I agreed that my mother could come clean the house tomorrow while I'm at my bi-annual check-up at the hospital in Holstebro.

I'm not comfortable about it, and it's not just "damned pride", as my mother says. It's wrong on so many levels:
- my mother being who she is, many of you will know exactly what that means.
- I'm the younger one. If anyone should be cleaning anyone's home. It should be me cleaning hers.
- she's my mother, not a cleaning lady.
- I should be able to take care of my own household (okay, this last bit is "damned pride")

Apart from her opening talk that they were worried I wasn't helping C enough with his new business, and don't get me started on that one, her arguments were strong, and yeah I caved in, but it's not going to be a regular thing like she wants it to be. Too "damned proud" for that.

Ah! And she asked if my reluctance had anything to do with me not wanting to leave her alone with Lia. If I was worried she'd be too hard on the dog? To tell the truth, I'm more worried about the dog being too hard on her, plus the vast quantities of food she enjoys putting in the dog's mouth.

My mother-in-law has taken to cleaning my house. I'm perfectly okay with it as long as I am not here when she's doing it! Would I rather be able to do it myself? Of course, but, she enjoys it and it's her way of doing what she can for me, and for that, I'm an incredibly touched. Just get me out of the house first :)
