I'm not that bad...
So today was the 2nd time in less than a week that my patients are yelling profanities as me! No kidding. Those old people aren't all Betty Crockers. One yesterday- the good ole grandpa type- had a personality change overnight. Today he was combative and ugly, twice he called me f--cker. I couldn't help but laugh since another girl was in the room.. well, made matters worse. He goes on with "you know where hannah comes from?..its a name in the bible..and you're f-'n out of your mind lady..don't you look at me.." over and over again. Needless to say, he now has a psych consult. His sweet wife was mortified.
My other profanity patient this week is just 4 years old. Four. I sensed he's a behavior problem, but never in speech-tx before. When I took away his sucker and made him sit at the table- Wow, out with his new favorite word! ..son of a b--tch.. at least 10 times in my face. There was more than that, but his speech articulation is so bad, that's all I could understand of him. Scratching, kicking, hitting- all the sudden child of the devil! I tried my best SuperNanny to control the situation.. much help arrived when other therapists heard the outburst & chairs being thrown. So sad! Little guy needs a pysch consult too.. and lots of speech therapy.
So I'm entertained as well as swamped at work right now.
Evil word of the day: paperwork!
Where I'd rather to be today:

Wow. You need your own body guard as a speech therapist. I admire that in you. It sounds like you would be safer as a criminal attorney!
LOL- I am sorry to laugh. Forgive me. I just can't even imagine what my reaction would be if someone came into my office with such language and issues.
Of course I do work around people who require psych consults regularly....oh wait.... do other staff members count?
Can I reach attorney Matthew Thomas May at 901-GOT-HITT? I think I saw it on commercial..
Sounds like a "Southern Fairy Tale" story!

Hannah, you are not alone today..while teaching Carlos phonics and the H sound, I asked him what words start with the H sound he proudly answered "HORE" How sweet is this 5 year old. I have also learned since being in Kindergarten this year... weed is what your Daddy gets in the back of the liquor store and guess what rhymes with DUCK? GO NORTH LITTLE ROCK!! The products of the Clinton Education System!!! ANYWAY, I know how you feel after a day like this!
I am making Jacob's Birthday invites...He of course wants a Narnia Party and Disney is not keeping up with the demands at the Delashaw house so therefore I am creating my own. I guess that makes me a REAL parent!
Love Ya,
Julie
If you're feeling harassed, perhaps you can call the attorneys who advertise on the G-train to Brooklyn. They claim to be "the best lawyers for hispanic accident victims," and (I'm not making this up)their phone number is 212-Margarita.
don't tease with such pictures!!!
Bless your heart!!!! Hang in there, Han!
I hope that you had a better day today!

Julie...I can't wait to read your blog on REAL parenting! Even when you were "practicing" on me, Rach, and Ad - you had it down. I'm sure its going to be the coolest birthday party ever...Take pics!! Love ya~
