Well I have to start with a little about my day. I had 3 kids today all of them fairly easy to deal with and not too many bad behaviors also along with that they are fairly independant for the most part and for being the type of room I work in we were doing good. Come on 3 little girls and 3 adults. Life was good. Then I started to work my 2nd night as a full time employee with Dakotabilites tonight. Nothing new to my routine just a few added days. I was kinda excited after school before work that I was more then likely going to be going to a movie tonight. So I thought hey I will get to work help through supper and then head to a movie and get paid for it. I got to work found out that we were not going to the movie that we were short staffed and I would be running my butt off. I wouuld be bathrooming one lady to just do that, leave to feed/shower/cook for another lady in one hour, then head to the 1st lady to cook/shower her to be back at 6:30 to make a phone call for the other one. Ran out of time at the 2nd lady's house so Drive throu for food for myself and 1st lady. Then to my base for about 3o mins. I just get into the car on my way to my base to hear Tornado Watch and then have it change to Toranado Warning. I just get to my base and am parking the car to hear Sirens going off, SHIT! Run inside the house to make sure that my co-worker and I are getting the other 5 people into the saftey locations in the house. I also call my manager to find out if I am suppose to go to the other 2 ladies that I had just left. I get a call back and YEP back out I go. Check on one lady and make sure that she is alright and in a safe spot. She has also instructed me to take the other lady and bring her to a safe spot in her ghetto apt and throw her to the ground (200 lb) lady sure no prob. I did that just got to the last place as the HAIL hits. All I did was DRIVE back and forth all night I was nothing like a relaxing night.
Also only in SD will there be Blizzard warnings in one part of the state and Tornado warnings in the other. And everything in between, right in the middle of the state!
