Oh - this relative of mine. She's driving me nuts. She'll be talking along in her regular voice then a waitress will come along to take her order or whatever and she'll put on this stupid childlike high voice and fake smile and act all shy. She's the least shy person I've ever met.

And ever since I've known her she's HATED dogs but now, suddenly, she's pretending like she's interested in them because it's the "in" thing in her little crowd. They're cute little accessories, you know.

And she HATES kids! She has never shown any interest in them. But she has this sister-in-law who she's trying to show up. So she picks up her sister-in-law's kids and brings them over here and talks bad about her mothering skills etc. etc. All the while she's ignoring the kids and I'm taking care of them. In fact - she drops them off with me! And I can't ignore the sweet little guys - but she doesn't even tell me she's coming! She just shows up kids in hand like she's doing me a huge favor!

Ugh.

I think, perhaps, I may be PMSing.
