This week of campers left quite a bit to be desired. If constant biting, pushing, hitting, and screaming isn't enough, it was topped off by the lack of a common language. English is not a first language for most of the campers, but now we are getting campers who don't know a single word of it! How do you stop someone from screaming and hitting when you can't tell them "no"?! ... Especially when (s)he is 3! Oh well. Tomorrow is Friday, and we'll all be ready for next week after a couple days' rest.
Tonight was pretty fun. The day camp counselors went to Disney Sea after work, so the CDC (those of us who work with kids under 5) counselors stayed after work to swim for a while, and when we got back to the hotel, I had a date! We eat a lot of our meals at a restaurant downstairs at the hotel, and I have spoken with one of the chefs a number of times in passing. Yesterday he asked if I would like to join him for coffee sometime, so tonight we went for a walk and had some coffee. Ronald (that's his name) is from Mauritius, a small island country I was embarrassed not to have known about. Since my date I have been researching the country and am absolutely fascinated! ... I hate to say that I have two web browsers open right now, one for my blog and the other for plane tickets to Mauritius. Anybody up for a vacation this fall?
I am off to bed - 11:30, and still not tired... perhaps a late night double shot of espresso wasn't the best idea?
