Dodgeball?

OK, so I decided (although already kind of knew) that boys (and some girls) are absolutely obsessed with dodgeball. Yesterday I had the pleasure of supervising two boys Physical Education classes, both of which were playing dodgeball. Now, I don't know how many of you have seen grade 10 boys (who are now almost in grade 11) actually play this game, but it's scary and I actually had some fear for my life!! I was in Eastglen's tiny little gym with nowhere to hide, and I was scared I would be caught unaware in the line of fire. Thankfully, nobody hit me, so I must not have been that bad of a substitute teacher. Everytime I sub for boys PE it's always "can we play dodgeball??" Blah. Today, I had to supervise it again, but luckily it was only grade 7's, and they can't throw the ball that hard, nor do they try and hit each other as hard as they can in the head. What is this obsession with dodgeball? I thought it ended after elementary school.

So, yesterday I did a really girly thing. Some of you may be surprised by this, but I met a friend from work downtown and we got pedicures done. We went to Vo's, which didn't do the absolute best job ever, but it was still nice to get a bit of pampering done.

Off for dinner with friends tonight! Looking forward to it, guys!!!!!
