I did not work this weekend so I don't have much to say about work. I did work Tuesday and Wednesday though. We started a new session of figure skating lessons at The Edge this week. Usually I hate lessons and dread having to spend three or four hours there, but this week was awesome. On Tuesdays I teach three Pre-Alpha classes. This week there was some sort of Amish family at the rink. They kind of look like the Duggars from Eighteen Kids and Counting, or whatever that show is called. There's this girl I work with, Rachael, and we call her Duggar because she's able to pop out pretzels and breadsticks in the concession stand at the same rate the Duggars are popping out kids. When we saw their huge family of fourteen walk into the rink, we all told Duggar her long lost family has come to retrieve her. Anyways, this family is adorable. I have three of the younger boys in one of my Pre-Alpha classes. One of their names is Wesley and he is my new favorite. He is the cutest six-year-old I've ever seen. All the brothers are incredibly smart and funny too. Every time one of their classmates is lagging behind when we're doing swizzles or falls down, one of them will go and help them get up. It's adorable. After their class they stayed out on the ice and talked with me and I ended up sitting down with their whole family and talking to them for about thirty minutes. The rest of the staff was cleaning windows and sweeping, so I felt a little bad, but I'm being paid to teach figure skating lessons (at $2.00 more pay than usual) not to clean. There are staff there on lesson nights that are paid minimum wage to clean and I'm not one of them. So, this family. I met all their brothers and sisters and their parents and they are all as sweet as can be. I'm so excited for this week to see them again. Although I think they might not be there because I vaguely recall them saying they were about to leave for a "trip out West."
