Family is Great

Ah, what a difference a day makes! My house is all clean now, laughed about all kinds of stupid things with Marly while watching the Intervention update on Allison (the duster chick), and then got some awesome sleep. Life is good again. And after today, I no longer feel like there is any drama worth mentioning. It's amazing what work can make you appreciate...

There have been several calls out to one house today, the mother and daughter both have serious mental issues. (Some history, in my first call ever dealing with the mother, she said that there was evil in her intestines and she was going to cut it out of herself and everyone else. She decided one officer was an angel and the other a devil. During another call, she had to be told to stop screaming into a garden hose while standing on top of her car.) Anyway, today the mother and daughter have been fighting. The last call was from the brother who said that the daughter had a large knife and was going to kill the mother or at least kill herself. She then dropped the knife, grabbed a wallet and cell phone and proceeded to chase the mother around the yard and down the block again. The daughter was taken to the psych ward for evaluation and voluntarily admitted herself.
The only thing that made that call better: Ofc Angry coming in to tell the story after he took the daughter to the hospital (she refused to go with EMS). The mother brought out a large, hot pink teddy bear and put it in the squad car for her daughter!!! Oh, did I mention the daughter is 20 some yo? : )
