oy, parents are insane.

So my mother woke up when I was giving the dog her morning allergy pill and handed me a list of demands.

1. Do laundry. Clear all clothes from garage.
   
2. Continue working on the room.
   
3. Start removing stars, like when you are on the phone.
   
4. Start packing up room. Sort through stuff - keep/yard sale
   
5. Put away clean clothes.
   
6. Help me with my closet, kitchen, and living room.
   
7. Get boxes.
   

the funniest is three. Keep in mine the stars are on an eight foot ceiling, which I can barely touch with my arm fully extended. The mental image of cradling a phone while trying to pull down the stars...well, it's pretty clear my mother doesn't have much concern for safety. ;)

good thoughts for sanity *are* appreciated.

Luck!!

And much as it might sound somewhat useful and satisfying to try to peel down the stars and break your arm or ankle, it will be more stress and pain in the long run.

(Augh! I'm sitting in the SUN! Oh, wait, I can do that again now...)

Ahh, the list giving....
You are an adult that lives at home, and yes you should help pack and clean. Discussing who will do what, and when is more appropriate. Big cleanups require a gameplan, not a general. This isn't a hostage situation, so demands are not called for.

Good thoughts for your sanity are continuing!

Good thoughts - I lived with my grandmother when Koosh and Steffo were young, and got much the same treatment. I feel for you.
