It's that time of year again.... GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! I went with two of my friends to pick up my troop's cookies yesterday and we loaded 227 cases of cookies into our two vans. That is 2,724 boxes of cookies. Wow! We had a booth sale outside Sam's Club today and I was so proud of my Courtney because she spent two hours out in the freezing cold without complaining. As a leader, I was suckered into two shifts and Courtney stayed with me for both instead of leaving with a friend after the first hour. The girls sang songs and drank their hot chocolates, smiling the whole time. The wind was awful, but we all survived and I even managed to amaze my parents with my ability to have something for every situation that arose. I was even called McGyver at one point. The GS motto is "Always be prepared." (At least I am a good girl scout) We managed to sell 210 boxes of cookies. We are raising a lot of money, so this next year will be full of fun field trips!
I have a horrible migraine tonight. My sinuses are on the rampage again. I have never had so many problems after 4 days of antibiotics. Ugh!!! I am sure the migraine has nothing to do with lack of sleep, cookie chaos or the upcoming school week! I managed to get B's on all of my midterms (Yipee!), but now I have papers to get busy on!
The new focus of our week is going to be preparing for Courtney's birthday party. She is making her own posters and I have taken her to Cord Camera twice to use their Ellison Die Cuts to cut out cool shapes and letters for the posters. Courtney will be having 6 of her close friends over for a night of walking tacos, PB pie (no cake this year) and lots of singing. If she doesn't become a big star on Disney someday, she will definitely have a future in the party planning industry. She is making the decorations, stuffing the goodie bags, and planning all the activities. I am not complaining.... all I have to do is cook the meat for the tacos and make the little peanut butter pies. Courtney is going to be 10. My baby is hitting double digits. I still remember her being a little girl with big blue eyes and pigtails and now she still has big blue eyes and the big attitude to match. Love her!
Well, it is Celebrity Apprentice time and I am looking forward to watching the drama unfold. There are a lot of colorful personalities and it appears that fighting and chaos will be abundant. Thank you Donald Trump for keeping me entertained!
