Who knew cooking rice would cause an evacuation?

You know, the first week of school has always stayed in my mind as memorable, crazy, and a little bit unpredicted.

No memory could have prepared me for this past week.

I started my job AND school on the same day. Now usually this would cause a lot of stress on people. Let's just say it put a 80 pound weight on my shoulders. I wasn't nervous for school at all (which was a HUGE blessing). I was terrified for work. How on EARTH was I supposed to cook for all of these children? Sure, I know how to cook...But the stove doesn't work properly, the oven doesn't heat up all the way, and the ventilation system in the kitchen has a mind of its own. Evidenced by the fact that the entire day care had to evacuate when the steam from my rice set off the alarm.

With all of this in mind...I had a lot of help. I was able to keep a cool head and get the job done. It's amazing what prayer can do for you! I'm so grateful for my Heavenly Father. He's helped me out a lot. That's for sure.
