DDR at work??



So, not many people can say that they play DDR at work. It's pretty awesome!! It was (GASP!) almost worth skipping a weekend of hanging out with friends. We took the Skytrain to Science World on Friday to see their chocolate exhibit (which didn't have enough free samples for my liking). I played basketball for a while yesterday with the kids, and today, well, we watched a movie and played some badminton (one of the girls schooled me), and looked at silly music videos on YouTube. I don't have any idea what they have planned for tomorrow, but I know everyone went skating last Monday (and I missed out!)

Teenagers are super funny when it comes to food. We have lots of stuff they can make - pancakes, soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, mac and cheese, toast, pizza pops, lots of different kinds of fruit - but they will open up the frigde and say "There's nothing to eat!" But when stuff is made (I made waffles and bacon for breakfast Friday morning) it is completely devoured!!

Favourite quote of my day at work: "I just want to be married and have kids and it's not happening!!"
The story behind my favourite quote of the day:
One of our teens was frustrated and yelling at one of our staff about all the things she didn't like about the day (we ran out of peanut butter, then while the girl was on time out, another teen ate her lunch!! - I would get angry too if I couldn't eat what I wanted!) So, the staff member gave her a little piece of what was wrong with her own life! "I just want to be married and have kids and it's not happening!!" I laughed until I almost cried, mostly because I understood the sentiment. We all have stuff in life that we don't like, but even a day without peanut butter isn't that bad!
