And that's a good thing in my case.  Mine is visiting right now and I can sense her cleaning the house from my office.  Kind of like a mini-vacation for me: she does the dishes, helps out with the kids and tells the wife how great I am.  And kind of like a mini-vacation for the wife as she doesn't work on Wednesday's and thanks to the furlough she gets Thursday off.

Don't get me started on the furlough.

But it's important to realize how lucky I am.  Lot of my friends despise their mother in laws.  Not me.

Tonight I will drink a Sam Adams' in her honor.
