What Cookie Moms Do

So, in addition to everything else, I'm cookie mom for Mada's Girl Scout troop. This seems like a blow-off job, but man, there is a lot of responsibility involved! Get the girls ready to take orders, get all of the forms in on time, order the cookies everyone wants AND figure out how many extra to order. Too many and you are stuck outside of Wally World every Saturday until they are gone and too few, you spend Saturday's driving around after the mobile cookie warehouse. We set up the booth sales, collect all of the money, and at the end of the season, reward the girls with something-all the while trying to save as much money as possible to keep dues and other costs down the next year!
The fun the girls will have at our outside sleepover this summer will be worth it, but right now, UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
Love you, Mada!
