Rogue AKA Keerie's blog: "Stupid convos"

[20:53] ASSHAT: Yeh sorta sup?
[20:53] *** Auto-response sent to ASSHAT: Self-truth is the essence of heroism.  -  Ralph Waldo Emerson
[20:54] ME: About kids
[20:54] ME: they are both grounded because they've been lying to me about their school stuff
[20:54] ME: but, they really want to go to that thing with the church tomorrow
[20:54] ME: I was thinking it'd be up to you (since you'll have them) whether or not they get to go
[20:55] ASSHAT: What thing at the church?
[20:55] ME: *blinks*
[20:55] ME: Do you really not keep in communication with them or your grandmother that I know more about what they wanna do than you do?
[20:56] ME: it's not AT the church
[20:56] ASSHAT: Nobody is used to me yet. No one tells me shit.
[20:56] ME: Hun...I'm not yelling
[20:57] ME: I'm just curious why you don't ask?
[20:57] ME: And if you're not there on the weekends, why am I still sending them over there?
[20:58] ASSHAT: I do ask. But info is not usually forthcoming. I hang out there on the weekends.
[20:58] ME: *scratches head* damn kids
[21:00] ASSHAT: Drivin. Gimme a bit or call me next break?
[21:01] ME: k
[21:21] ASSHAT: Can chat for a min
[21:24] ASSHAT: Ya kno the biggest problem wif ghetto diving is you always feel dirty after.
[21:25] ME: o.0
[21:25] ME: and people wonder why I'd rather be sober than do that
[21:26] ASSHAT: Yeh. Least I didn't have any money ridin on it. I just charged gas bucks.
[21:27] ME: right
[21:28] ASSHAT: Semi free kushions. Neat.
[21:32] ASSHAT: Anyway, I dun think A is add. I just think he is like me at that age: he don't give a shit and is gonna do what he wants.
[21:32] ME: well, I can't deal with that
[21:32] ME: And I refuse to
[21:32] ASSHAT: If he thinks he can pull it off.
[21:32] ME: so instead of beating my child to death, I'm taking him to a dr
[21:33] ASSHAT: I don't want him on ritalin.
[21:33] ME: fine...come up with an alternative
[21:33] ME: and no one says that's what they'll do
[21:33] ASSHAT: Counseling
[21:33] ME: You paying?
[21:34] ASSHAT: I can't right now but its an alternative. One better than meds and both cost money.
[21:35] ME: And who's going to take him?
[21:35] ME: I do have to sleep at some point you know
[21:35] ASSHAT: Why hide the problem with meds when you can fix it with counseling.
[21:36] ASSHAT: I understand. See if the school couselor is worth a shit.
[21:36] ASSHAT: I'll talk to him tomorrow.
[21:36] ASSHAT: A I mea
[21:38] ASSHAT: I'm movin to state st next week.
[21:40] ME: I never said hide the damn problem
[21:40] ME: I'll talk to you later when you quit assuming and start asking
[21:41] ASSHAT: Ok but that's what meds do. If the dr doesn't wanna do meds, ok then. I'm down.
[21:42] ME: You're not listening or asking why
[21:42] ME: It's just enough to calm him until he can get a hold of his "over enthusiastic self"
[21:43] ASSHAT: I'm not tryin to be an ass. I'm sorry. I got a lotta shit on my plate. But there was the inferred question: what will the dr do?
[21:43] ME: I don't know yet....that's why I want to take him and see what they recommend
[21:44] ASSHAT: I know that. He's a handful. But he hasn't learned how to focus that energy appropriately yet.
[21:44] ME: I know this....and with C antagonizing him all the damn time, I can't do shit
[21:45] ME: Mamaw pretty much undoes everything when she gets them, and I'm tired of being told I need to teach my child how to behave by his teachers
[21:45] ASSHAT: And I just implied that I am ok with you takin him to see what we see. I just disagree with meds.
[21:46] ME: Well of course you do.  You don"t have to put up with it half as much as I do
[21:46] ASSHAT: Would you like me to talk with his teachers? I understand Alex.
[21:47] ASSHAT: Its got nothing to do with that: I know what meds do and its wrong. Its a crutch.
[21:47] ME: oh yeah, you tell his teachers WHY it is that he threw his almost perfect progress report into a crumpled up ball on the buss
[21:48] ASSHAT: Because he doesn't care about school.
[21:48] ME: whatever
[21:48] ASSHAT: Meds can't d
[21:48] ME: just get your shit taken care of, let me know when you have insurance
[21:49] ASSHAT: Fix that*
[21:49] ME: bye
[21:49] ASSHAT: I will.
[21:50] ASSHAT: This conversation needs to be finished. But not right now because I seem to have pissed you off?
[21:53] ASSHAT: Latrz
[21:56] ME: yes, you pissed me off by not reading that I said this wasn't to FIX him...I said it was for temporary help
[21:56] ME: stop that stupid selective-reading bullshit
[21:58] ASSHAT: Ok that hasn't been said up til now. The temp thing.
[21:58] ME: [21:42] ME: It's just enough to calm him until he can get a hold of his "over enthusiastic self"
[21:58] ME: WRONG
[21:59] ASSHAT: Oh! My bad. I misunderstood the context of that statement.
[21:59] ASSHAT: Sorry.
[21:59] ME: I know medication can't fix him
[21:59] ME: just like my anti-whatever shit wasn't supposed to be permanent
[21:59] ME: and ISN'T
[22:00] ASSHAT: I'm bout to start drivin again. I will buzz you when I get home or you can ring me at break.
[22:00] ASSHAT: Ok. Then we agree.
[22:02] ASSHAT: Just inform me when you hear from the dr

[22:39] Asshat: Home. Fuck me backwards runnin up a hill. Got my hopes up again. You'd think I'd have learned by now.
[22:42] ME: k
[22:42] Asshat: *sigh* anyway
[22:57] ME: okay...and just so you understand WHY exactly I think he has ADD....it's not just school.  He won't listen to me at all.  I tell him something, 5 seconds later it's like I didn't even look at him, much less talk to him.  It's not just school...that is a HUGE reason I want him to see a dr
[22:58] Asshat: Ok
[22:59] Asshat: I wanna meet the dr who does the assessment
[22:59] ME: First, I need insurance before I can give you ANYTHING
[22:59] ME: so, there ya go
[23:00] Asshat: Ok
