Ok, so that might be strong, maybe idiot is better terminology. Anyway, she is my 1/2 sister...we have the same father (which explains a lot). She's always lived in another state, so we've never been close to begin with.
So I finally get up to see my best friend and her new baby and my dad calls to tell me the plane has landed...What plane???? "The plane with your sister and nieces...I told you they were coming a few weeks ago, remember?" NO! Could you have been more specific??? So I visit w/ my friend for a little while and then leave to come back (45 minute schlep). My sister is hungry so they go to an early dinner. By the time I get there, they've finished...great. I eat a fast salad bar and they come to my house...which of course was not in the shape I would have prefered for company coming over...great again.
"We'll be hanging at the pool tomorrow, so maybe you can drop by." So with that, I plan waking up early so Kayla can get an early nap, I don't bring lunch to playgroup because I assume I'm leaving right from there to go spend time with my sister and nieces at their hotel pool. Wrong. I get a phone call at playgroup..."We decided to go to Universal today...we'll do the pool tomorrow." Thanks a lot.
So today we are at the pool and my sister is blah, blah, blah, "I don't eat, I lost 20 pounds (like she ever needed to), I gained most of my weight when the girls were Kayla's age..." Thanks. Then she gives the baby a (granted, tiny) piece of her french fry before I could blink and then tell me to be careful giving fried foods because they are usually fried in peanut oil and how peanut oil is dangerous because of it's high allergic properties. Well, thanks a lot...she's never had fried food before so I never needed to worry! (I quietly checked as I was leaving and it was vegetable oil, but nonetheless.)
I know, stupid to complain about, but I feel better now...thanks.
