The Tea Room Community Group
This is a private group by invitation only. It is a group for those who have a loved one with a brain injury. This group was not founded by me but I will serve as the founder temporarily as one of the first members.
I thought that this was pretty funny, but only you guys would get the humor in it. My son who has been taken over by that alien called TBI had had a few scraps with the law since injury. Damn those frontal lobes ! Anyways part of him punishment is to do a work release program. So yesterday was his first day. He was up and ready to go by 6:30 am and I made his lunch. I was thinking wow he actually has his sh*t together....good for him ! Well not so fast, he forgot to eat breakfast and he has migraine issues that can be brought on by hunger. So his lunch became his breakfast. His duty was to do trash pickup on the highway. I dont know about all you guys but I would have signed up for working at the pound and play with the puppies and scooping poop as my duty. But he said no dog poop for him! Ok fine........He comes home and he had a great time. He likes picking up trash because it is like a treasure hunt. One guy found money and he found a cool buck knife. They get to keep anything they find. Now I guess this qualifies under the heading of HOARDING. Since his injury he has become a hoarder of crap. If someone has something free along side the road, it is at my house. Yikees !
Funny thing he brought home a really nice dresser that someone left on the road for free. I ddi not look at it very well but at a quick glance I was amazed it was so nice. The other day I looked at it and was trying to figure out why it leaned like the tower of pisa. I guess who ever owned did not have level floors. So I asked him about it and he looked at it and said wow I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me. So we shimmed it up and it is ok.
So today he is working at the sheriffs station but at least I will n to have to drive him because it is within walking distance. He said maybe if he gets to know all the cops maybe they wont hassle him so much.

Treasure hunts are fun!!! Im always on the lookout for treasurees! My mother called me an obsessive compulsive overly organized hoarder!!! Hell, its all stuff I need to get stuff done around here!
I think it is great he is making the best of the situation....Now see if he had took the job with the puppies you would probably have a new puppy at the house!
Yesterday he worked at the sheriffs station washing , waxing cars and washing windows. It is only 2 days a week and it is good for him. At least he is out of the house and doing something rather than nothing. Only sucks for me because I am the one paying all his court cost. So basically I am being punished also it seems. LOL

One day someone was cleaning out our neighbour's garage because she was moving into a home. They offered my husband to take what ever he wanted. He brought home a dry bar that reaked like smoke (I did sell it for $50) with 3 stools, crutches, a broken wind chime, a broken squeazy grabber thingy for our son, a faded ugly picture (it would be ugly without being faded), and 2 sets of antlers. I kept everyhing long enough for him to not notice it went missing then for rid of everything but the crutches and antlers. The anters are decorating our sons play fort until I can figure out how to get rid of them because he's rather attached to them. my son doesn't mind but they kind of freak out other kids.
