The other day I was trained in using the wheelchair lift for the train that drives through the Villas to pick up children and their families to take them where they would like to go! Mari-jane and I will be doing that again tonight :-)
Today was rough. Well, this morning was rough... so I still have tonight. Working in the Gingerbread house is not much fun when the people do not appreciate what you are doing and order you around. Not the families, the work staff. Today was just horrible because the first greeting I got was this lady making a confused gaping face at me as if I were doing that to her... Very frustrating. She was not nice, I doubt Mary Poppins would like her ;)
Other than that this week has been very nice. Very rewarding to work with these children. The other night (Wednesday night) I worked with Sam, the make a wish child. He was not all that nice... he called my brother a nerd and a loser, and I was called a stupid idiot... and after I told him that I did not use those words he seemed to shape up :) I asked him if he saw Mary Poppins and he said yes, and I said she was awesome. He did not agree... and then Mari-jane asked, "then who is?"
...he pointed at me :-)
As Brandon Spencer put it, I just beat out Mary Poppins!
That was a good high. I will have to take a lesson from Mary and put my best foot forward :)
God is good. I am looking for Him here, I see Him in the children and the appreciative families. This is a good thing Give Kids the World has going on.
On a side note, I will never ride the Tower of Terror again! MJ, Hayley, and I went to Hollywood Studios yesterday on our day off, and I was terrified... but it was all in good fun :)
Well loves,
I am afraid this is all for now. I am coming home tomorrow--flight leaves at 7:40 pm.
Miss you all! Save me some sunshine!
