Must breathe... (Venting)

I'm venting here bc too many of my family members are on FB....
My mom decided to turn my old childhood room into something else, so my older brother boxed everything up for her while she was in AZ for the winter and left it in a pile in her garage. That was fine with me and she doesn't use half her garage, so I figured it was okay.
Fast forward until she got home like three weeks ago... She's freaking out that she's running out of room in her house (hardly the case) and my stuff is the cause. When I didn't immediately jump to go up there, she lost it. She even called my dad (they've been divorced ~15 years) and told him that he could store my stuff if he didn't *make* me come deal with it. Knowing how she is, he offered to bring his truck up and help us since I'm pregnant and shouldn't be lifting that much. Great. I had him lined up, my brothers lined up, and we canceled our plans to just go do it. I called her back last weekend to let her know that we'd come care of the boxes, get the furniture, etc. on Sat (yesterday) and to stop getting everyone worked up. "Oh, you can this weekend? It's not ready to be picked up yet." I was speechless.
Well, since then, she's sent 20 texts and 4 emails about these boxes (do you want this? how about this basket?), including one about how I need to stay on top of her emails better. I'm so over it. Now she's available tomorrow... Too bad that we have a thing at daycare, both have work, and my dad has plans. I really think that she just likes causing drama and that if it was done, there wouldn't be more.
