7.27.12

This has been a crazy week, probably one of the most frustrating and stressful yet.  I have a traveler that has never really traveled and honestly I don't know how his family deals with him being in public at any point in time. Especially with people he is unfamiliar with.  He runs off, he yells, he bullies the other travelers and he refuses to listen and follow the rules.  Pair this up with another one of my travelers who is very much like Eeyore.  Something is always wrong, he is always picking fights with the first traveler and he refuses to walk at a normal pace or move at all when he is upset, which is a lot of the time, or he does not feel like doing what we are doing.  It has been a struggle to be stopped and convince him to move while trying to keep the others by me in crowds of people.  Just one more day, just one more day!  The schedule this week has been all weird so my days are thrown off too.  It has seemed like a very long week.  But the guys for the most part are so much fun.  They sing and dance to everything and we have had a lot of musical activities.  But, to top it off our boss will be coming down on Sun morning, as the travelers are leaving, with some campers to spend the night.  So cleaning has to be perfect and very quick.  But on a good note...we have no travelers staying over and we have nobody coming early so we all get Sun evening off together!  This has not happened and probably won't again so we plan on doing it right...lol.  We will start with lunch at Rainforest Cafe with the boss, then we are leaving him to go stay the night at Harrah's.  We will spend a few hours laying out at their Oasis pool, then go to a coctail cruise for a couple hours.  Then we will let them shuttle us to the boardwalk for a night out.  It should be a lot of fun and much needed for all of us.  I will miss the final night out at the end of summer since I am heading home before the other girls so I am super excited!  I will post more pics up to FB at some point.  I am going to get all the pics from the summer on my flash drive so I can have the ones that were not taken with my camera.  You can tell that we are all more relaxed and just having fun with everyone by this point in the summer.  Next week should be easier.  It will be week 1 of 2 for high functioning and we will only have 9 travelers rather than the 11 we usually have.  Most of them manage their own money and meds for the most part.  Still plan on doing a flash mob with them.  I will post about our night out when I get a chance :)
