My mom has a strange definition of being "ready"

THIS MORNING...

-Wake up
-Begin getting ready for wedding
-Call mom, make sure they are awake and getting ready
-Figure out how to put my hair in curlers again
-Get dressed, look for nice shoes
-Change mind on outfit and change clothes again
-Run out the door
-Call mom again, make sure they going to be ready
-Drive
-Call brother, make sure mom and dad are actually getting ready
-Keep driving
-Call mom to say I am around the corner getting gas. She claims they have been ready and now are just waiting for me
-Get home, park in driveway and honk for them to get in the car
-Brother runs out to say that my parents aren't ready yet.

It took another 20 minutes for us to actually walk out the door. I will not even begin telling you about the fight my mom and I had (I lost) involving the wearing of a hat.

That was all before 9am. I am too tired to blog about the rest of the day right now.

Hahahahhahah :). Joz, I totally feel for you. I know EXACTLY what you go through. (perhaps it's an Asian/Asian-Indian thing). I have to go to a wedding today, and my mother and I got into an argument over what I should wear and that I need TWO outfits. One for the wedding, one for the reception, oh yes...with MATCHING jewelry and shoes. Blah!!! Needless to say I lost too. So here I am...getting ready. bleh...hopefully the wedding is fun. If not...there's gonna be a shoeless girl walking around *yes, that would be me*.
