Shsent me an email on the 16th : Hi Mamma_Mia, Yes I have received your email. We have been so busy with Christmas plans and my new job I haven't had a chance to respond. As soon as we make decision I will be in touch.

Now mom hasn't called anyone yet (to my knowledge) and I don't want to be pushy or sound desperate....I was thinking to be in touch with them/her next week? Bad idea? Should I just leave it and assume that by End of January they wen't a different route or contact them?

I hate this
I always send an email. Just start by wishing them happy new year, i hope you had a great holiday and that the boy(use his name, it makes it personal) had a great christmas. just say that you are doing a final follow up and wondered if there was any other questions she had. also just say that if she isnt interested in the spot if she could let you know so that you can remove her from your list . i had one person a long time ago who hadnt responded to me for awhile and i persued it and she was so glad that i had because her computer crashed and she had not written my number down.
