I was late. And the door was closed ... I didn't want to knock. So I simply turned off the sound machine and waited. Within seconds the door opened.
Funny.
"let's talk about the kids" I say
"no let's talk about ... " basically - what she wanted to talk about
"let's talk about the kids" I say
It went no where. She gave me some theory's .. I gave her my own. I wasn't going to let it go. Not sure why .. but I couldn't. She told me she could back hers up with 30 other therapists.
Think I care?
"why are you being so combative Alana?" she says
"why can't you just agree with me so we can move on?" I say
She agrees to disagree... and somewhere after this statement she jokingly tells Sean he should beat me. He is now liking her.
"why can't we talk about the kids?" I ask
It's not going where I'd like. I get up to find some candy in a bowl on the desk. Got me a cherry tootsie pop.
I pick up my phone to see if Hayley had texted ... it's 4:30 .. boys should be walking in ... just making sure there are no emergencies ...
"put your phone down Alana .. that's so rude when Sean is trying to talk" she says
I get up and walk over to the rocker glider. Sit and start to rock. It starts to squeak. I am delighted.
"why did you move over there Alana? Can you stop rocking so hard because it's making a lot of noise" she says
"because I wanted a different view ... I wanted to sit here and imagine what I look like sitting on the couch" I say
"well" she says "I think it's symbolizes something. We are talking about something you don't want ... so you are removing yourself from the situation. Sound familiar with everything else you do in your life?"
"uh. no" I say
She thinks she knows everything. It's so annoying.
"well .. it looks like I don't have another appointment that's available until a month from now" she says
"are you sure?" I say .. "perhaps you could cancel someone else and put us in that spot .. a month sure is a long time to go without seeing me"
"I'm good" she says ...
