Monday March 12: We had a dramatic evening when a mom lost her temper and began threatening first staff and then said it would be staff’s fault when she beat her children later that night. The conversation never really calmed down until the mom moved out. Why it is likely that the tantrum had escalated to the point that we would have had her leave she left on her own so we did not need to ask her to leave. Another single about the same time also threw a humdinger of a tantrum. She was asked to leave. Both ladies are now on our accountability list.
Tuesday March 13: One of our moms and her kids were all verified to have head lice. Her room mate was moved to another room while the mom takes care of the cleaning up of the issue. This mom does not have a good history of follow through so we will need to stay on her to make sure that she gets it cleaned up.
Wednesday March 14 One guest reported having her open bag of tobacco stolen. There were two good suspects. But neither one seems to have the tobacco. Both suspects have men at the mission so it is possible that they simply passed it on to their men.
Thursday March 15: One of our guests was offering to sell some of her prescription medications to other guests. She moved out when we addressed the issue with her. She was in the process of denying that she did such a thing but then moved out instead.
Friday March 16: A donor stopped by and dropped off some little boys underwear and socks (new) and a coat (used) for a little boy. Within 5 minutes of the donor leaving a guest stopped by to see if we could arrange for her little boy to get underwear, socks and a coat. The sizes were exactly right for this little boy. Amazing.
Weekend: Lots of drama around one of our guests who has been on an emotional rollercoaster during her entire stay here. She was doing really well on Friday but over the weekend became erratic, got physically sick and then started an assortment of arguments with her room mates. By Monday she was verbally threatening everyone in her room and was asked to leave.
General comments: We had two more ladies get full time jobs this week and several that have upcoming housing verified. Staff are very excited.
