NHL player's Halloween party?

October 21, 2010

Worked in the red room and played with the veterinary kit with the kids until I had to go to the yellow room for an hour and then the green room for a little bit. Tristan was not happy at all (think he's teething) and so going back to the red room was a relief. Literally, three minutes before my break started, Tasha decided she was going to go get paper towels and came back three minutes after my break started, which is a pattern that is really starting to piss me off. 

Went and checked to see if Darrick's letter has showed up yet and got invited to a famous NHL hockey player's Halloween party in London next weekend, but I kept reiterating that I was waiting for a letter from my BOY FRIEND and that I had a girl's night planned already. Seriously. The creepy guy needs to get a clue. Then went to internet and had some pretty funny e-mails from Darrick who was totally sleep-deprived from working overtime. ha ha

Went to the yellow room for the afternoon and, though no one told me, I could only go outside for twenty minutes instead of the full hour because Tasha was taking her kids down to SAP to watch a program that ended up lasting two minutes. As a result, I took the kids down to the mini-gym for a half hour and Jacob was climbing up the slide and I asked him to slide down on his bottom, but, before I could get across the room, he had fallen face first onto the slide. Also, was asked about the potluck tomorrow by a co-worker and I was like, "What potluck." Yep, Erin and I were the only two people in the CDC who were not told about it. Grrr.

Went down and talked to Darrick for a while and didn't want to leave knowing that it will be next Wednesday before we can talk again, but I just keep reminding myself that home is less than two months away and I need to enjoy my time with the amazing friends I've made here.

Went home and watched some How I Met Your Mother while we ate Mac and Cheese with hot dogs and then watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy before bed.

Things I learned today:

1. Being forgotten is probably the best way to show someone how unappreciated they are! Thanks, CDC. Thanks.
