233. MY JOB

My parents own a group home for the mentally handicapped which I help out with. We have this one resident who is suddenly acting out; i.e. getting up at 4:30 in the morning to eat anything she can get her hands on and drink everything in the fridge (we've had to lock up the fridge and kitchen cabinets and sometimes I get up at 3:00 to try and head her off), drinking out of the bathroom sink because we will not let her drink more than 2 glasses in a 30 minute timeframe, sitting on the furniture and peeing on herself (even worse through the Depends we have had to start buying her) because she won't get up to go to the bathroom, eating toothpaste and anything else she can get her hands on (thank god toothpaste, mouthwash, and liquid soap is all that is in there, and pushing me when I stand in front of her to keep her out of stuff (in the half hour it took me to write this I've been elbowed at least 5 times in the stomach trying to push me out of the way)
I love helping out and our other three residents are great (two of them have been here since Grandma was running it 15 years ago.) but that one is driving me crazy!!!!!
Ok my venting is over now!
