ARgh...sick today. We went to my cousins farm on Monday for Memorial day and all but 3 in the family were sick (that's only three out of 10...not ok) So yeah...I seem to have caught it today. Feeling much better than I was this morning though so I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll be golden.
Camp has started!! Whoo! I'm lovin' it...seriously. I mean it has it's moments but w/ the ppl I get to work w/ and my boss (yeah, Kris...Don's the BEST!)  I just couldn't ask for more. Yeah, Saturday was a good example of a bad day that was made better just by the ppl I work w/. I was guarding on Saturday and we had this lady there camping and she was a CRANK! She sends her little girl up the slide w/ floaties on, which is a no-no. They have to be able to swim on their own. So I call the little girl down and tell her that she can only use the slide if she's able to swim on her own. She runs crying to her mom. Her mom comes and takes her to the top of the slide (minus swimmies) and tells her to go down. The little girl is still crying and saying "no mommy, no" But the mom continues to coax her. Then the mom comes to the bottom of the slide and sticks her head up it and calls her down. I walk over and I'm like "Ma'am, you need to step away from the slide." She turns, "I was JUST coaxing her down." "Ma'am, if she needs coaxing maybe she shouldn't be going down the slide" She rolls her eyes and glares at me. Finally the little girl goes down the slide but she's still crying and like in this wierd doggy paddle gets herself to the side. So, the mom goes and sits down and the little girl proceeds to go up to go down the slide again. She makes me nervous so I decide that I want to have her do a swimming test first. I call the girl over to me and ask her to do a swim test. The girl once again goes crying to her mom. The mom comes over and she's like "Did you tell my daughter that she can't go down the slide?" And I said, "yes, just until she takes a swim test for me" Again, the mom rooooolls her eyes at me and she's like "We've been taking swimming lessons..blah blah blah." Argh...but we relunctantly get the swim test done. THEN, later, some other girls at the pool took food to the far side of pool and I went over and asked them to keep all food at the picnic tables. "The woman" was sitting right by them and heard me and as I was walking away I noticed a box of crackers by her chair. I then just watched her as she would look at me and slowly pull the box of crackers up and take a few and sneakly eat them, thinking that I wasn't noticing. (or if I did notice, what would I do about it) ARGH!! I felt like letting it go, seriously, because I really wasn't in for more eyeball rolling but I knew I couldn't let her get away w/ it. So I walked over and asked her to take the food to the tables. Yes, I got the eyeball roll, and that was it. No acknowledgement besides that. I'll tell ya... But then I could go work the counter in the store and be w/ my really awesome friends who would totally encourage me and then talked w/ Mr. B who also affirmed me. I have the best summer job ever!
Sunday I worked at RMC too but definitly a less eventful day. We had two groups in. One, a Catholic High School group and the other a college age group from Philly. They were all really good. The Catholic group was a little interesting because I had one man from the group try to kinda "evangalize" Elisha and I. :) He would come over and be like "You know, when God asked Mary to be the mother of Jesus she could have said no.......free will." And then he would just walk away...rather strange. *grin* Oh, and we were also having issues w/ the cash register. (455.00!!...it's all Becca's fault!) The groups were really fun, especially the older group, they would joke w/ us stuff. The one guy kept calling me "Ma'am" which I thought was really funny...or "lifeguard lady". ha! :) It was a good day.
