My job.

 As you may or may not know I have a job. I am a Children's targeted case manager. What I do is I help families get services like counseling, occupational therapy, link them to basic needs like food stamps, child care and anything you can imagine. I also help get their children involved in a peer group activity to help them with socializing.

Ok so I have to go to their home and discuss what needs they have, if it a transfer case then I just monitor the situation and get them hooked up to what ever they need.

Today I had a visit with a family it's a mom her partner and her son. When I called to set up my home visit she made a big deal about her being in a same sex relationship, she kept telling me over and over; I was like ok...so. It's not like I don't know people in same sex relationships. She was a little put out I guess that I was not more shocked. LOL

I get there and the house is all dark. It's 9 AM and I'm wondering if perhaps she forgot I was coming and had gone out for the day. Well I knock and after a moment a window next to the door opens and a woman tells me just a moment. I wait and after a bit the door opens and there she is in her pj's, ok no big deal. she then asks me in and the house in completely dark it was like walking into a cave. She can hardly keep here eyes open and the thought that she was hung totally hung over entered my mind. she fumbled in the kitchen trying to get her coffee pot on and then she asks me into the rest of the apartment. (the door I came in opened into the kitchen) So she walks ahead of me into the living room, does not turn on any light...when she gets to the other side of the room she pulls a blanket off of the window letting a little light but the fact that there is a blind behind that blanket and she does not open it keeps the room in almost complete darkness.

She goes into one of the bedrooms to get her son he comes out in his pajama pants with no top holding a mini box of Pop's cereal; he runs and jumps onto the couch next to me and proceeds to eat it. I get the paper work out of the way first off and then we begin to talk while I'm trying to find out how this little boy is doing on his case plan she is up and down multiple times getting things out of the kitchen at one point she comes back with a Boost drink and drinks it down. After a few moments she lets out a huge belch!!! I'm like... no pardon me or anything, so we continue to visit when all of a sudden she lets loose with a huge FART!!!! Oh MY Goodness!!?? She does not even pause in the conversation the look on her face does not change it was like it never happened but it did!!!! I pretended that I did not hear it and after some final discussion I left.

This woman has never met me before in her life and yet she did things I still feel uncomfortable doing in front of my own husband. When I got into the car I sat for a moment and then I could not help it; but I began to laugh I wonder what she will do once she gets to know me better? *shudder* ROFL

Well that's it until the next time, stay tuned for further adventures with ANNA the CTCM!!!
