How do you get fired as a volunteer?

Taking a break from cleaning for M's birthday weekend and watching my favorite "How clean is your house" when I get a phone call. Today is one of the days I am allowed to answer the phone because mom is afraid she will miss a call from one of Grandma's many doctors. So the phone call is the director of the organization my mom has been volunteering for and basically they told me they are letting her go citing too many family issues. They were nice about it but still they told me to tell her "don't call us, we will call you" gosh, I can't wait to give her that message. I better wear a football helmet and padding. Let you know how that turns out. Put on your helmets!

Today's arguement between me and T. Is Boston well known to foreigners? He says it isn't but I just proved to him after I found a poll that the top places in the US are New York, "Florida" Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston. He is so hard headed. Now we fight about trivial stuff.

It's about 6:30 now and mom has been going up and down our stairs puttering around. I told her about the job and she was upset, but not loud or angry in the way I expected. She said that she thought they may have made the decision based on the fact she hasn't shown up in over 3 weeks. I would agree that would be a reason. She is now subdued and only mildly insulting rather than her usual. In fact, she only accused me of letting mice in the house and not making M wear a sweater so for her, that's quiet.

T and I made up for our dopey argument about the US list of well known places and the three of us played "How clean is your house?" using cleaning tips from the show we all worked hard to make the place gleaming. I can tell you the best part of that show, we can't afford cleaning products but they have lots of inexpensive cleaning tips like using salt (.99 cents yo!) as a mildly abrasive cleaner with hot water and dish soap. It worked like a charm!!! Plus it has the extra advantage of not being toxic for the environment.

Here is a part of an episode for anyone who doesn't know this show. T has a HUGE crush on Kim, btw. It's hilarious.
