So, today I am off to help mother with one of her antique shows. Usually these shows are stressful at best. Mother is bi-polar (believing that if she refuses to be diagnosed then she is perfectly normal!) and has some real issues dealing with just normal people much less stressed out other dealers and the generally less than gentile public. As February 2014 showed, the last show I helped her with, she can not even treat show managers well and was evicted because she insisted upon sitting in the middle of the aisle! Of course, show manager was stressed out as well and they slammed noggins. I expect that incident to eventually end up in court - they were both so out of control!
And last weekend brought me literally to the end of myself. I still have not completely been able to recover from mother and Gaelic Girl going at it during my birthday party. I fear for how mother is going to behave at this show, will she be able to control herself, her stressors and her anger? If so, it will only be because God intervenes to keep me sane. Yeah, going to take some Nitro with me for sure!
As for the show itself, I have spent the whole of this week working on researching stuff, pricing and making labels. It has been exhausting! But hopefully all of that work will pay off. Sigh ...
Now, I have to get back to packing for the show!
