so the MIL came over today and the first thing she said was "Boy you look really tired!" Gee thanks, do I look tired? That's so great! I have made it a point not to tell people they look tired, it only makes them feel MORE shitty then they already felt.

Then she procceded to tell me that she would come over one saturday (pointedly when the DH was at school) and help me clean out the garage, because she knows I "won't let her do it by herself". Ya know, it's my greatest fantasy to have my MIL go through all my garage and see all my crap and organize it for me. It's a true fantasy of mine. Whats more of a fantasy, would be doing it WITH HER. I would love for her to find dirty underweaer and blankets with cat barf on them. That's just gonna be so much fun!!

I didn't even know what to say. I just stared at her dumb founded. How do I handle that one? Okay sure it would be nice to clean out the garage but I tell ya what, I want my husband to be there.. so I don't know what to do.. I have no idea how to handle this one. how do you kindly tell someone you don't want their help?? Plain truth is I don't know how to say much to that women. She scares me.
