Country Music in the Morning...

Jessie bangs on Joshes door.

Jessie: "Josh!! Wake up! You should be up by now!

Jessie opens Joshes door.

Josh: "I'm up."

Jessie stops. Joshes music is playing.

Taylor Swift: "I was ridin' shot gun with my hair undone..."

Jessie bursts out laughing.

Josh: "IT'S ON SHUFFLE!!"

Jessie closes the door.

My Favourite Kid at Work...

7. Bobs at other children.

8. Nudges balls on the edge of the pool deck so they drop on to the heads of kids in the preschool classes.

I think his trickiness is contagious.

There was a man watching his kids swim last nite. He was sitting near the door to the Aquatic Office. He started leaning back against the window and fell asleep. I had to go in the office. I walked quietly over, giggled to myself, went in the office and slammed the office door shut. He woke up.

Admiration

I was never a kid who really had any major role models that I wanted to be like. Well, that's not true. I had Hailey, my babysitter. She introduced me to Muchmusic and Days of Our Lives. She was so cool. She'd tell me all about the boys she was dating. Oh, and I really liked Harriet the Spy. I would write funny things down in a notebook...until my childhood friend found out that I wrote mean things about her in it.

As I've gotten older, I have a couple people I really admire.

1. Deb Wong
Deb is amazing. She is an excellent listener, she always has great advice and has never been preachy or judgemental-while pointing me to what God would desire in my life. Her trust in God's faithfulness during the recent months blows my mind. I don't even understand it, but I thank God for it.

2. Mrs. Symmonds-White
She pretty much has what I want in life. A job in a nice high school. Teaching Biology. She's pretty and fun and her students like her. A husband. A kid. Yup.

3. the man at the pool
He is my hero. He had a stroke awhile back and is limp on one side of his body. He comes in to the pool a couple mornings a week. By himself. Wheels out on a motorized scooter. Pulls himself down the stairs really slowly. He won't accept help from anyone down the stairs. I tried. Then he swims side stroke, good side up, for around an hour. He is incredible.
