Saturday I went to work and after being there for only an hour I felt awful and had to go home. I felt bad for leaving but the other part of me was thinking I am miserable here I need to go home now. I went home took a long and much needed nap and felt much better. I figured I didnt want to waste the entire day that I took off so I went grocery shopping and went back to Downtown Disney that night with my roommate. Probably not the best idea but I stayed far away from World of Disney. We went to pin trade and made our way up and down all of the shops. We got the BEST pins ever. I decided to solely stick with collecting Minnie Mouses. At first I was collecting anything I liked but my collection was turning into a big mess. It was a lot of fun and it was good to play a little hooky. 

Someone needs to buy me this!

my entire pin collection

Yesterday I had work but again I asked for an Early Release to leave an hour early to go volunteer. Luckily they said that was fine, so I raced off work changed and made it just in time to get in the van to go back to Give Kids the World. This time the event was Worlds Largest CandyLand Game. They have a play ground that literally is the Worlds Largest Candy Land Game. There are colored squares on the ground and signs along the way that is exactly like the game. In addition there was riddles to solve for prizes, gingerbread house making, cotton candy, and snow cones. I was the lucky one at the Cotton Candy machine. It was a different experience than the last time I went because this time you didnt have as much one on one interaction with the kids. You basically just made sure they were having a good time with their families. Although I didnt see the little boy I was paired up with last time, Oliver, I did see my favorite little girl Abby. She was so surprised when I remembered her and her sister and asked how her lunch with Cinderella went. Her face literally lit up that I remembered her. She told me it was her birthday tomorrow (which is today) and that she gets to do whatever she wants. When I asked her what it is she leaned over and whispered its a surprise for my sister but we are going to Magic Kingdom. I thought it was amazing that even though it is her birthday she wanted to surprise her older sister with something. So far my favorite part of the program is to go volunteer here. I have next Wednesday off so I am going again and even invited some friends from work. 

Later that night I went to AppleBees (its across the street) with my friends from work. One of the girls has already self terminated because she really hates the program. It was a lot of fun to hang out with them outside of work and realize we all have the same frustrations at work and its not just me.

Now its time to head off to work. I work 3:30 to midnight tonight. I want to wish my new friend Abby the best 6th Birthday ever! and I hope there are many many more birthdays to come.
