Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds

[tir_synni]

So this week was supposed to be easy as compared to last week. Instead, I found my runaway sixteen-year-old client, complete with her newborn son. Everything suddenly became very complicated, complicated enough for the judge to visibly want to bash her head against something. I spent a full 8 hours in court, and that wasn't counting the transporting of the child. That was the longest I've spent alone with an infant. I'm positive I was more scared than he was. My co-worker was in court that day, too, and she repeatedly asked if I would be okay, while the baby slept merrily on.

Where I live, if you're a caseworker and you have an infant on your caseload, you need to visit that infant once a week. Until now, I only had one infant. By the end of the month, I'm going to have three. Please, kill me now.

I've been writing in my notebooks, and I even bought more notebooks as I've been slowly destroying my older ones. They get a lot of wear-and-tear, poor things. Unfortunately, by the time I get home, I tend to just want to curl up somewhere, so little has been typed. Sorry?

On a happier note, my travel mileage for February is going to be awesome...except I need time to sit down and get everything typed and ready to turn in for it. *facepalm*

...Are you a Social Worker? --shudders--

Babies can be scary to take care of for some people. I'm the eldest of six children, so I've never had that problem. --snicker--

--snaps fingers-- Darn. This is really going to cut into your free time, isn't it? All that travelling, I mean.

Oooh, notebooks. --laughs-- I have a massive bag of notebooks, each with fragments of stories, because I can never remember which book held what notes for 'insert title here' and so forth. =^________^=

Anyway~ Good luck with all the babies.

Caseworker. Needs a Master of SW to be a Social Worker, but close enough. :)

I'm the baby of four, so I rarely had to deal with babies. It doesn't help that when I think of babies, I think of the furry ones...like the one randomly pouncing my coat. Wha...?

I've been away from home a lot, but I always have my notebooks with me. Unfortunately, I haven't really had time to transfer the stuff in the notebooks to a typed format. So many notebooks...
