That is a tough one. Tell her in no uncertain terms that you (and your spouse, I am guessing) need a break. It is just a weekend where you would really like a whole week. Ask her to not be so selfish (yes use that word) and like the others suggested, see if someone can come into your home instead.
Whether she likes it or not, you MUST go away for the weekend! It'll help you reconnect with yourself again, and muster the energy needed to do battle when you come back.
As Hardebeck suggested, hire a nanny for the weekend. ... And make sure she/he is well paid.
Don't take your cellphone with you if you can help it.

Have fun. I'm sure Mom will manage quite well.
