lovelylittlelifeofmine

I am at work for the next sixteen hours. I work doubles on the weekend. I work Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays taking care of an elderly lady and her down syndrome son who is 42 years old. Once a week I clean one of her other sons house and on Thursdays I clean my boyfriends house. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I go to school in the evenings. I rarely have time to breath and take time for myself. In the end when I am finished with school my son can come home and start college. I can be the mom I am supposed to be. I really want for him to be home while he attends college. I would like to have a place by then that has an upstairs for an apartment. I have such grand ideas for not being finished with school. Just one thing at a time.

However, I have to keep my future goal in my head. Focusing on now will help me get there.

I do have to tell a story about my job taking care of Mrs. A and her son. As I said before her son is 42 years old with down syndrome. Well last week while we were at Meijer he bent over and kissed the ass of a lady. No he did not know her and to hers and my dismay, he laid a big one right on her butt. I think I was more horrified then she was. I grabbed his hand, said a quick sorry to the lady and said to him "M you can't do that" I told him that we had to tell his mother. He said "no don't tell my mother," which says that when he has been scolded he knows that he was wrong. How long he retains it is another thing. She was not surprised as he apparently has done this before. Accept he only pinched the ladies butt that time. I have to say that I do love working for Mrs. A and her son. I love helping people. They are pleasant down to earth people. That is refreshing.

When I was a police officer I had such a tainted view of people. That is slowly dissipating. Many officers have a hollier then now, its us versus them attitude. Very unhealthy.
