So my mother is going to Germany and Austria

Had no clue. She and I are not one of those mother-daughter relationships where you speak every day about the details of your lives. HAHAHAHA hell no. If she calls me I answer because someone has died or there is something very serious going on. Bizarrely she is very interested in me being the new advisor of the baking club. She has offered to buy supplies which I told her was not necessary since we have funds. I told her she could come help with the kids. She said "it is really hard to get clearance to get into schools" and I was like "girl I am right next to the door. I can get you in." She is the one who sent me idea of the pre-made gingerbread house kits. I ordered several different varieties (traditional, Oreo, Starburst) for the baking club members to do on Monday. I appreciated that because the whole planning thing is stressing me out. Fine. So we are doing "gingerbread" houses. The Monster (my mother) texted me today to see how many kids had signed up. I told her. She then asked when they were doing it. I told her Monday. She responded that she was hoping it would be closer to Christmas as she was going to be in Germany. WHAT? Yeah that's how close I am with my mother who lives 10 minutes away. No clue that she had a trans-Atlantic trip to Europe. Where is she going? Germany and Austria. Where specifically? No clue. When is she returning? No clue. And they will be mad when I don't show up tomorrow. (another post)
