It's sad that she only succeeds in pushing us further away from her. It's too much drama. The good news for me is that my husband recognizes her weirdness and has less patience for her than I do! Bless your sweet heart for tolerating yours, I hope the last few days just fly by for you!I Am Boymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325620257808590423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19178340.post-43665310845408984392008-11-18T10:31:00.001-06:002008-11-18T10:31:00.001-06:00I thought my MIL was bad.... but wow, you definitl...I thought my MIL was bad.... but wow, you definitly take the prize!!

Somehow, I think they mean the campfire kind, though. <BR/><BR/>While we were dating, my MIL did the whole "I quit smoking" routine with my husband also. I saw her sneaking one here and there and finally brought it up with my husband. He said she just smokes "socially." Funny...he says the same about her drinking too. :) <BR/><BR/>Then I got to thinking... "Do I really care if my MIL brings about her own untimely (and very painful) death from lung cancer?" Ooooooo, so mean. No, I didn't ever think that because she quit smoking for real. She still hasn't given up drinking though.Lynannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416883491055528952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19178340.post-77283398497791987812008-11-17T09:54:00.000-06:002008-11-17T09:54:00.000-06:00Fleas?

She's just asking you to push your buttons. And it is working.
