I have become, that which I swore, I would never become......

I don't EVER remember being “vocal” with my Mother, about the decisions she made. Decisions, mind you that were obviously made to keep me from having ANY fun in my life. AT ALL !!! At least that's how I viewed it at the age of 14. It would appear that I have turned into my Mother, on some level. Just ask my 14 year old !!!!Here is the argument via phone and text that my son and I had today regarding him NOT wearing his Air Cast for the last 7 days of his 2 month total. Please keep in mind that he broke his foot (3rd toe). I don't mean just broke it easy. I mean broke the knuckle portion of the toe clean OFF the foot bone it is supposed to be attached to !! LSS, we were told it was a sprain. Even though the x-rays showed different. He was at Camp and at some small town hospital. Not that there is anything wrong with small town hospitals. Well, I have a biased opinion. Disputed the Insurance paying the bill and am having said hospital refund the Insurance Company the money they paid. So by the time the x-rays got to his Orthopedic Dr., it had been almost a month. When the Dr. informed us that he could clearly see in the x-ray ** the origianl one** that it was broken !!! So he went a month with a broken toe and no blood flow to the end of the toe. He needed surgery. 4 days before the wedding !! But that's another story/post all together

Via Phone :

H ~ Mom, Dad said that if I put my Reggie's on and can run from J's (our neighbor) driveway to ours and it didn't hurt, that I didn't have to wear my Air Cast at Youth Group tonight.
Me ~ No, it hasn't been 7 days. Doc said you were to wear it 7 – 10 days/transitioning out of boot at home only. If you were to be at school or with friends the boot was ON....PERIOD.
H ~ via phone ~ Mom...puuuuuhlllleeeeeezzzzz, my foot doesn't hurt.
Me ~ No, it hasn't been 7 days. End of discussion.
H ~ **interrupting** Mom......Mom........Mom, PLEASE !!!! Dad said.....Mom.....Mom,,, PLEASE !!
Me ~ I don't really care WHAT your Dad said. You and I, as well as your Dad, know that I OVERRULE ANYTHING your Dad may have said. NO !!!!
H ~ ****through gritted teeth**** FINE....click.
Thank God that's over with. Sheesh, when did he become such a WHINER ?!?!?!?
chime/ring/bells....text alert
H ~ OMG my foot if if doesn't even hurt *** I can only guess the “ if “ “ if “ were to be “ it”***
Me ~ He said you could after 7 days and the 7th day is tomorrow
H ~ OMG it doesn't hurt AT ALL
M ~ You know what ? I'm done with this discussion and your defiant attitude DO NOT PUSH ME 7 days means 7 days and that is what it will be PERIOD END OF DISCUSSION
H ~ I didn't mean that rude I'm just emphasizing **big word** that it doesn't hurt
Me ~ I understand that I get what you are saying but if you don't do what the doc says you WILL end up having to go back in for surgery because you caused permanent damage to your foot for NOT following his request
H ~ okay sorry
M ~ AND IF YOU ASK ME ONE MORE TIME YOU WILL BE STAYING HOME IN YOUR ROOM WITH NO XBOX NO TV NO COMPUTER NO WRESTLING ARE WE CLEAR
H ~ Yes
Then it hit me. I think I liked him a bit better when he was little and couldn't talk back !!! Oh yeah, and lets not forget to mention, that I have indeed turned into my Mother !!!!! ***gasp/sputter/ppphhhttttt***

I need a drink !!!! I don't think I can make it through the next 4 years.
