What worries me is that she could potentially drag it out for so long there's not enough parliamentary time left to clean up the mess, but she might not last that long so we'll see.
This is the issue, she's trying to play Russian Roulette with leavers telling them it's her deal or no brexit and the remainers it my dealing or no dealing.
The problem is Labour can't do anything other than a confidence which they'll loss.
It currently looking like we're going to sleep walk into no deal.

Apparently a helpful explainer the HoC produced on when the next vote will happen suggests TM thinks it could happen as late as March 28th (petrified emoji face).
As @mespilus points out a week is a long time in politics. I don't think she's got a cat in hell's chance of staying PM till March personally.

Not sure, I didn't word that very well :)
The point was yes you're all quite right and if the government and Parliament literally does nothing at all between now and 29th March there will be a no deal Brexit with no legislation to make it work in practice.
But politically this is untenable. The Commons is fundamentally an anti-Brexit legislature and they aren't going to sit on their hands between now and March 29th.
May's current strategy is largely political sabre rattling - she needs to make a no deal Brexit feel like a real and present danger because she wants Parliament to accept her deal (which they aren't going to, because they think it's crap). Apart from the tiny number of 'flatearth brexiteurs' nobody in the commons wants or believes in no deal, so the reality is that's not going to happen either. The power of Parliament has been demonstrated very well a number of times over the past few weeks: May is ultimately not running the show, despite what she might want us to think.
Yesterday plenty of political commentators - including George Parker from the FT and Katie Balls from the Spectator, for example - were agreed that another referendum is the most likely outcome, but May's deal could take months to die. What worries me is that she could potentially drag it out for so long there's not enough parliamentary time left to clean up the mess, but she might not last that long so we'll see.
