So I have been teaching Sunday school for 3 weeks now, and I love it. I only have about 3 young girls in my class at a time, I teach the 8 year olds, and there are only 4 girls who are 8 in my entire congregation. Small class but they are super smart and super fun. I got lucky. I have been in the nursery, preschool age class, and the kindergarten age class, and I love all the children, but it is refreshing to have older kids who have attention spans longer than a gold fish! ---

I substituted mustard greens and turnip greens, which she apparently did not notice. šŸ™‚ I made my standard tomato sauce but instead off adding herbs de Provence to make it Italian I added a couple splashes red wine vinegar and some fresh sweet tomatoes and more sauted onion than I would normally use for sweetness. It was delicious. Grape leaves would be nice but I would never have thought turnip greensā€¦hmmm ---

my aunt (msrip) won several Miami Herald cooking contests with her recipes - stuffed cabbage was one, rice pudding (baked so that it had a crust) was another. ---

I used to teach 8 year old girls in Sunday School, too. It was fun back in the early days of the church before the pastors died/left and the place went downhill when the noob came in. Looks like I wonā€™t have to go anywhere tomorrow other than to walk the dogs. Good thing as the high is going to be 14F. :eek: While Iā€™m here, though, I get to work on my student teaching applications, continue to work on my fake cupcakes, and make real cookies to be delivered on Tuesday. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > Home from deheathenization and have had **N.O.L.** OYKW has headed to his place to take care of some laundry. I shall head over there in a bit just cause. I may or may not spend the night. He has to irk tomorrow but I donā€™t even though probably will irk from the cave a little while. > > Thatā€™s the big excitement from south Jawja. I wound up having to do laundry today so a top I want to wear tomorrow was ready to go (it had gotten wrinkly, and aside from the ā€œI hate ironingā€ part, not sure that would work on a rib-knit piece very well). Deheathenization was enjoyable, even though DH and I both had a lot of trouble sleeping last night. Got mostly caught up on the Scripture study program (Iā€™d fallen behind my plans due to various distresses). New Walmart opening in my area in the next few months, theyā€™re already looking for employees, I need work, must apply tomorrow. Iā€™m not nuts about working in retail (I really think Iā€™m best in a clerical/admin role or in a customer service call center), but I donā€™t feel like I can really be super-choosy at this point. I have ruled out convenience stores, food delivery, or driving a cab on personal safety grounds, unless we get a lot more desperate than we are now. ---

Iā€™ve taught from nursery through five-year-olds. I completely understand your point. The tinies are adorable, but that attention span issue can get frustrating. I could handle eight-year-olds. Itā€™s adolescents I wouldnā€™t be able to cope with. Are there no boys in that age range, or are they in a separate class? ---

Girls just seem to want to participate more in class in my past experiences, unless they are kindergarten age, then they are all trying to out do each other in the noise whether they are boys or girls. LOL I taught the teenage girls one year (combined boy/girl fro and hour then they do separate them for class for an hour) and they were like pulling teeth. I had two girls who would wander the hallways and disappear during class time, a couple who would whisper to each other during class, one that wouldnā€™t say anything, and one who dominated the whole time. Pure torture, šŸ˜› ---
