Prayers needed or a baseball bat....
Bless your heart. I will pray for you daily as it sounds like you will need it. Is the baseball bat for you or her or hubby LOL? I feel for you because after my surgery smells of stuff cooking especially fishy stuff made me sick. Hey, but at least you can put her to work packing up for the move. Use her while you can.

I feel for you. I love my mil to death, but there is no
way I could spend more than 2 days with her. My hubby's
family is way different from mine. They are really good
people just different. They inspect everything with a fine
tooth comb. My house is not dirty but its not spotless either.
And when it comes to Marci if she has a mosquito bite they
want to know where it come from. She is their only grandchild.
I do like you I bite my tongue and let Wayne hear it.ha ha
So how long do you think she is actually gonna be there.
I can't believe she stays that long that would drive me crazy
to have anybody in my house for that long. All I can say
is good luck and I'll be sure to pray for you.

I feel for you and need prayers myself. I am leaving Friday to go and stay over a week in the presence of my MIL, she is a horrible woman! She disliked me from the day before she met me. I never did anything to make her dislike me, she just does not like any woman that her son is married to. She gave the same trouble to his ex wife. The difference is that I don't put up with it as much as the ex did. I do not take her crap. That could be why she is nicer to me now than she used to be. She says something hateful to me and I just throw it back at her. Now when she calls to talk to my husband, she usually wants to talk to me too. But I still have some hurt feelings by some of the things she has said in the past, such as, making comments about "big" people. The good thing about that is, now she can't say anything directed towards me being big because I am almost her size. She is a 10 or 12 and I am a 14.
Anyway, with the stress that she will add to my life, I am sure that the DH and I will be at each others throats, because he thinks I should just ignore her and not retaliate to anything she says, but I am not one to sit back and get walked all over. I guess it is the Pit Bull coming out of me. I could not resist that one, sorry Christine.
Dawn, you will make it through... You are tough. If she outstays her welcome, just start planning days at the pool with the kids and stuff, anything to get away from the house. Visit your folks in Meridian for a few days to give yourself a break. But having her there to pack up your house would be a good thing, because you don't need to be lifting anything heavy!
