Heh, ok well hard not to laugh at your interpretation of your mother. But yeah hope she isn't Bipolar, maybe a stage in her life?

I don't think you'll end up like your mother for certain tho, I am not like my mother or father. I've kind of taken their examples of being, of what not to do. They are good teachers.

I am kinda like your mother from that description, right now my garden is a mess right now, I did put massive hours into it in the spring, and then got busy with other ideas. We went to a fair that had sheep and alpacas the other day, I was ready to sneak one or two out and stuff them in the car, bring them home and spin wool. Lucky I don't have the resources to follow through on most things.

Maybe she is having like a midlife kinda thing tho? My mom is all over the map right now, and I think it's just her age, last time I talked to her she was moving to Peru to rebuild a house in a village my stepdad grew up in, last week she followed my into gluten freeness, and before that it was starting her own bakery. But this is new on her part.
