I know this is a pride thing, and nobody wants to have to say that they are living with their parents at age 30.
But, you have to be realistic here. You aren't sitting around playing video games all day, eating pizza and drinking beer.
You ARE bettering yourself, and plan to return to an independent lifestyle. You have already been on your own, and this is just a temporary stop. Just a few months actually from where you are now.
Don't be ashamed to say that until January you are staying with your parents, due to the reasons you've said here. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Most of us have been in similar situations over our lives and end up at the parent's house for a few days, or a few months. It's not a big deal.
I think that if she's let you close enough to her to get to know her son, that she will respect your honesty, understand your situation, and not make a big deal out of it.
I also think it will be easier to tell her than you think.
