Last Thursday, my mother moved in with me.
Times are getting rough. However, with both of us pooling our resources, we each see a dramatic monthly reduction in our bills. This has excited both of us as we are now able to handle the unexpected better.
It's funny though. Now mom is living in MY house. She's being awfully diligent not to step on my toes. What a change in scenario! It's been 8 years since we lived together. Life has definitely changed. I'll just have to be sure I set a proper curfew for her - no boys after 10pm, no booze after 9pm, etc. I've got a baseball bat and a machete just in case things get out of hand..... seriously, mom goes to bed at 8:30. She's surrounded by her cats and computer and is happy as a clam to read books and do crossword puzzles. She's even cleaning the house when I'm not home! Flippin' weird but cool at the same time.
I have no doubt though we will be locking horns at times. Both of us are quite opinionated. We've developed our own separate way of living so going back into an environment of sharing space is strange for both of us.
I'll keep any faithful readers posted. It's a new chapter in my life.

I still live with both my parents, and it's quite tough, but for you I guess the rules are different. It's YOUR house. And it's quite comforting to have another person around. Hope it goes well!
