Lesson's From the Kitchen...

Lesson #39 ~ Kids LOVE BBQ Pork. Seriously love it.

Lesson #40 ~ When you work in any type of job, the way to make your job a little easier, is to realize that it's not about YOU!! When you take yourself out of the equation and focus on serving and showing Christ's love to other's it makes your day a whole lot easier AND you have less stress to deal with. ( This is more of a life lesson. I'm just sayin)

Lesson #41 ~ Have I mentioned that kids LOVE Big Texas Cinnamon Rolls. (Note Lesson #36.)

Lesson #42 ~ Clean floors make or break a kitchen. If the floor isn't clean, the kitchen isn't clean. And trust me....people notice. I have had a couple people randomly walk into the kitchen to tell me that they have noticed how clean the floors are. Which leads me to Lesson # 43....

Lesson #43 ~ Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
I am a person who likes to hear kind things. I do. It's just how God made me. It makes me feel like I am doing a good job when someone compliments me for something.



Also...Mrs. D. taught her class a little cheer to sing to me when they see me. They even made a special trip to the kitchen one afternoon just to "cheer" me up.

I LOVED IT!!!!

Lesson #44 ~ Teachers LOVE their coffee. Especially French Vanilla. I had to get a new coffee pot b/c we wore the other one out.

Lesson #45 ~ Laying down the law doesn't mean that I am mean. No further comment on that 1.

Lesson #46 ~ Wear comfortable shoes. My feet and back are really taking a beating from being on my feet all day. In the afternoon, you will often find me with my slippers on.

Lesson #47 ~ PLAN AHEAD!!! There are many meals that I actually make the day before. It makes the next day go SOOO much smoother. My chili is almost done for tomorrow. Now all I have to do is make the corn bread.

Lesson #48 ~ This 1 is kinda important. And let's just say that it's a hypothetical lesson. Do not under ANY circumstances forget to order the kids milk from the milk company. They MIGHT get a little cranky when ( I mean if ) they don't get their milk.

Lesson #49 ~ Be careful when opening a can of spaghetti sauce. I bet you didn't know that sauce COULD jump right out of the can and hop right INTO your eyeball.

Lesson #50 ~ Metal tongs can and will cut the palm of your hand. I bet you didn't know that.

Also I bet you didn't know that when you have a cut on your hand....you have to put a band aid on the cut UNTIL it's healed and then you have to cover the band aid with a glove.

While I think this is a GREAT rule. (Who wants to take a bite of someone's nasty, used band?) This rule is actually very hard to put into practice. I wash my hands at LEAST 100 times during my work day. That mean I am constantly changing my gloves and washing my hands. That's a lot of gloves.

Lesson #51 ~ Hot pans will burn you. This is more common sense. I just wanted to put it out there for you slower people. ;)


Lesson #52 ~ I thoroughly enjoy it when kids come to visit me during the day. Enjoy the kids. Make them feel special. Because they are. (Don't worry....the kids were at play practice and were not skipping out on class. :) )


Lesson #53 ~ Kids love Mexican Lasagna. It surprised me how many kids ate and enjoyed it. That will definitely be on the menu again.

Lesson #54 ~ Make a tip jar. I have already earned $20 in tips. I bought a new knife with my tips. :)


Lesson #55 ~ Holy Cow. Kids DEVOUR dirt dessert. I'm just sayin.
