Cupid's Flourishing

Valentine’s Day comin for sure ... More incident reports. One of our male client’s smacked the bottom of one of our female clients ... TWICE! Once after being told to cease and desist! Nearly broke our poor little bunny heart.  Just wouldn’t do in the outside world. He’s got an adult male body.

There’s been a setback in the Sr. Tess situation. I met her as she came back from the Doc’s office. She didn’t look good and I asked her how it went. She seemed to lilt.  The doctor says she wants two week’s REAL bed rest. "Oh dear, it's like she’s been busted!"

We've been doing Sister’s "lunch group." We’ve added a new term ... no loitering! They are gathering over by the recycling garbage can while chatting and finishing the last sips of pop. Yeeks, that turns out to be a hotbed of trouble. *Giggle* refer to afore mentioned "bottom smacking!" Now, we just have to learn how to explain "aimless idleness" to the masses.

We wrote a letter home to parents too. It was meant to draw official attention to a client who was rushed through lunch although consuming 20 extra minutes past the first 30. She is about 4'8", but brought in and ate 3 hamburgers, chips, two varieties of cookies, a generous piece of cake, a banana, and pop. Unfortunately, this is more a situation of parental neglect. It’s obvious the client has been put in charge of her own "diet."

Tough when Sr’s out ... sometimes it means you’ve got to be the bad guy. Had a run in with the other Q. too. Seems as if she’s figured she could monitor my calls, paperwork and interactions with one of the new therapists. Man, did that not sound like a good plan.  ACK and PTOOEY!

Hmm, sounds like someone’s a little cranky.

We went last night to a Dr. M. Appointment. There were a variety of parts all trying to demand time. Then KC came out and said, "No, no, no" to all our yammerin. Yes, Bill ... the buck stops here. Ever been "shhhh’d" by a nine year old? Kate was the last one out. We’re going to try having him give us a 10 minute warning when younger parts out, so we can maintain some kind of time awareness of the hour and responsibility.  We’re trying ...

Ohhh... smacking bottoms is highly inappropriate. Grrrr... lol

Sounds like you have your hands full, dear Ayn. Try to take deep breaths. I'm sorry to hear about Sr. Tess. But I'm sure that all things will work out in the end and your responsibilities will lighten. Don't be cranky, sweetie. Your AOL-J pals lurve you. :)
