Yes, it's been a long time since I blogged.
I actually have a voice blog saved in Snapvine that I did one day while I was driving to work, so *here* it is.

That's the latest update, really, but I decided that I wanted to blog the end part of a conversation that I had with Dan today. I wish I had the whole thing, but a lot of it was redundant. The gist of it is that Chloe needs some extensive dental work and this is the first time that there's been dental insurance for like three years. So, I took all of the girls. Insurance will cover most of the costs, and the remainder really isn't that big of a deal, but I told Dan that he was responsible for 1/2 of it. He refused at first, giving a sob story about how he was barely affording to live, and how I had all this money to get a new van and a new laptop and blah, blah, blah...
The conversation started on my phone, on the way home from the dentist, when we stopped at the grocery store to grab a few things. After we got home, I decided that the conversation should be archived, because he was flinging accusations at me. I did display a bit of passive-aggressive behavior myself, I'll admit that, but, since I told him that I was blogging this conversation, I figured that I had better do it.
The conversation started with Dan doubting that I had insurance for the girls in the first place, and complaining about the timing of her next scheduled appointment.
Kara Peregrine: I can give you exactly what the dentist gave me.
Dan: I will need the insurance info as well, you have yet to give me any of that
Kara Peregrine: As far as the work being scheduled when it was, it's because the 1000.00/calender year dental benefit resets Jan. 1st, and well, she needs almost 1000.00 worth of work, so if it's done after the first, she has no dental benefit left for next year.
Kara Peregrine: Why would I need to give you insurance information?
Dan: well for one you told me you would, for two, I need to know the type of coverage and the breakdown of the benefits to know what my share actually is
Dan: you told me you would get me the insurance info so in case something happend to them while with me they had the info
Kara Peregrine: Chloe has 6 cavities. She needs a tooth pulled. She needs a spacer placed where that tooth is pulled so the other teeth don't crowd it when they grow in.
Kara Peregrine: As far as something happening to them, if you have to take them to the ER, insurance would be submitted later. I have one card and it has personal information of MINE on it, so I'm not giving you that, or a copy of that.
Dan: well without insurance info of any kind, how do I really know you are telling the truth?
Kara Peregrine: The quote from the dentist has the full payment amount on it, and the amount that is expected to be covered by insurance.
Dan: and as far as them having coverage with me, how can I trust that you will actually make sure it is submitted?
Kara Peregrine: Have I even asked you to increase the support since I'm paying for insurance? No, but I could, but I haven't, because it hasn't been an issue for me, and the coverage is actually cheap, compared to what I was paying for insurance, without dental...
Kara Peregrine: As far as making sure that it is submitted, then I guess that would be something you would have to deal with, as I've been sued countless times for medical bills that were both of our responsibility.
Dan: yeah, well, I have serious trust issues when it comes to you. I mean damn, you all need to grow up a bit. I just want this marriage over, and I cannot even get ahead enough to file the paperwork my damnself. I am tired of all the petty games you two play with all this. I am really tired.
Kara Peregrine: Petty games? WTF are you talking about games? You're the one who refuses to take responsibility for your children.
Kara Peregrine: Did it ever make you wonder why you always fail, no matter what you try to do?
Dan: ummm, taking responsibility is not what I am talking about here. I said I would do my best to try to come up with the money. but, you need to work on communication, and your bf needs to learn to just stay out of it. that hooker comment sunday was just idiotic
Kara Peregrine: What hooker comment was made Sunday?
Dan: as I shut the door to the apartment he shouted, have fun with your hooker
Kara Peregrine: Kinda funny. That's the second time you've "heard" something that he supposedly said that wasn't said.
Kara Peregrine: You really should get that checked out.
Dan: like I said, petty games, deny deny, but I know what I heard
Kara Peregrine: Seeing as how it was a comment to me and it wasn't "hooker" that wasn't said.
Kara Peregrine: Nor was it anything about having fun
Kara Peregrine: *was said
Dan: whatever, keep to your story thats fine, it does not matter, I just think it is stupid in the first place and for you guys being soooo much smarter than I....it is immature
Kara Peregrine: Everything to you is immature, but you obviously haven't looked at your behavior over the past 8 years.
Dan: ok, this is a good stopping point for real, we really do not need to rehash all that because it is irrelavent at this point
Dan: your done, I am done, it is over, lets move on
Kara Peregrine: If you really want the inside joke on the comment that WAS made, I can fill you in, but I believe you'd tell me it was TMI.
Kara Peregrine: And no, nothing was said that the kids would pick up on, before you go down that route.
Dan: whatever you told me I would not believe anyway, like I said, I really do not trust you
Kara Peregrine: When you quit playing the "immature" card, I'll quit reminding you that you invented the word.
Dan: am I childish sometimes, yes. however, in times when seriousness is needed, I grow up. but I like who I am, you don't this is why we are no longer together
Kara Peregrine: Trust? Seriously, what the fuck have I ever done to make you disbelieve everything I've said? Most of the stuff that you *think* was said was your delusional thinking anyway, and you hearing what you wanted to hear, and believing what you wanted to believe.
Kara Peregrine: When seriousness is needed you bail. Stop lying to yourself.
Dan: whatever, convo over. it is getting to the attacking stage now and I am done, do not message me again tonight unless it has to do with something immediatly effecting the kids
Kara Peregrine: Lmmfao... perfect example right there.
Kara Peregrine: I'm blogging this.
