Another Busy Day

This is going to be short and sweet and to the point. Had a very busy day.

I work in a group home and it was just busy from the start. It was a split day for me so the morning consisted of getting everyone out of bed, showered, dressed, fed and on their respective vans for their day program all in two hours. Some of the consumers you just cannot rush or you run the risk of having a behavior on your hands, so you have to be ingenious in getting them up and going in the morning. I will sing to them, dance, one girl I will make up a song to sing to her feet (you should see the look on her face before she busts up laughing). If we get everyone started in the right mood, the morning goes by easy, then you have your busy mornings where nothing seems to go right.

Now the evenings can be just as busy, especially if you have outings planned. If anyone comes home in a bad mood and you are not working with regular full time staff, sometimes outings just do not get completed. If you are working with someone who is not fully trained and cannot be left alone with the consumers, and one of them does not want to go on an outing, then no one goes. Then the other consumers ostracize the one who did not want to go on the outing which leads to hurt feelings that you have to deal with.

But, all in all, it is a fun place to work. With any job you have your good days and bad. Even though today was very, very busy, it was a good day. Now, off to bed because I am tired!!!
