Yesterday I attended a scheduled meeting for Uma's team. Problem? Uma didn't show. Six people waited in her apartment for an hour for her. Seems she had been there just 5 minutes before I arrived but was upset about one of their friends, talked to the manager about it and he told her to take a walk to cool off. She did. Didn't come back until 10 minutes after the meeting disassembled. We rescheduled for two weeks out. These meetings are State mandated and a royal.....
Jerry & I went out to dinner (I was too mad at her to cook).
When we got home his daughter called and said "Why is Jhary in Sacred Heart ER?" Dang if I know. She was brought in by the police. She wasn't talking. I talked to her on the phone and figured out it had something to do with dinner plans. I called her residence. Mind you, she had been at Sacred Heart for at least 30 minutes probably more and I, as the legal guardian, had not been called by her care providers. The only reason I had found out is because Carrie, working her one day at the hospital, recognised her and called me. I tried to be calm and rational and found out that indeed Jhary had flipped out when she was told there was not enough staff to take her out for Chinese. Their solution to the problem was to call the police and ship her off to the hospital without any staff/explanation. Oh, staff was going to call me in a little while. I asked her to please call the hospital and fill the nurse in on what went on.
Jerry & I took off for the hospital. Half an hour later the nurse comes in and says she had just received a call from Jhary's staff person. (The time lags here are numbingly long). The nurse told the care giver that they really need a different solution to clients outbursts than sending them to the ER. AMEN! We took Jhary from the hospital to get a bite to eat (not Chinese) and them home. She apologized to staff (one accepted graciously, the other acted like a petulant 8 year old and kept complaining about how she was treated by Jhary in this whole event. If she doesn't want to deal with developmentally delayed people and their occasional melt downs she should get out of the business.)
To top off this child centered afternoon/evening, Bob Jr. called. He is back in town. Bought a house on 32nd and Ray. Wants to know how the kids are doing. Wants to be all lovey and "family". Gag me with a spoon. I really do not have any interest in firing up a relationship with him. I'm happy with the people I have in my life and don't really need his problems. I'll tell the kids he is here and let them go from there.
Got my "Complaint Free America" bracelets in the mail. Will hand them out to my women's group this month. Does the above post qualify as a complaint? Guess I had better change arms.

Careful, you're starting to sound like me. Wouldn't want to make anyone feel icky.
See Bro, that's your problem...you just can't let it go.
Now boys. Enough already. What I blog, be it sunshine or dark clouds, is only about me. Not about you people so let me have my space on the web without you two getting your backs up. OK?
