So much anxiety

For those of you who don't know, Carsten's mom is coming tomorrow for a visit.  And since finding out that she might be coming and then when I found out for sure she was coming and when, my anxiety has been through the roof.  Now, I know you are thinking that I like her a lot and she likes me a lot so what is the problem.  Well, here is the issue.  I am really anal about things being clean and in there place.  Carsten's mom on the other hand is a million times worse than me.  Since I am not working I see learning German and maintaining the house as my full-time job.  So, if when she gets here she makes a negative comment about the place (dust, cat hair, etc.) I know I will take it personally.  In my head this doesn't make sense but I still think this is how I will respond.  That being said, I am going to clean the crap out of our apartment today.  I have a list of things to do and I have about five hours before I need to start making dinner, so I should have time to get most of it, if not all of it done.  

After dinner Carsten and I are going to the final film of the festival.  The name of the film is Were The World Mine.  To read more about the film and to see the trailer, click here.  I have zero desire to see this film; however, Carsten is all about this movie and since he tends to get what he wants, we are going.  In the end it isn't that big of a deal.  It is nice to go to the final film of the festival, especially since we went to so many of the other films.  Wishing me luck on my cleaning and I will post my thoughts on the film later.
