It feels like I haven’t done anything but deal with cookies for months now, but I know it’s been less than two. Eight days to go! We are doing well reaching our goal but this is always the point in the sale when I pray we don’t have too many cookies and don’t get stuck [...]

Cookies, cookies and (hey, guess what!) more cookies
Another day filled with cookie sales, mostly at church. My best guess is we sold 45 cases or so since yesterday. Which is totally fabulous, btw. And it means it was a good call to get more cookies yesterday because I got 43 cases, which means we would have been completely out until the next [...]

Fishy Kisses at the end of a long day
Some moms do butterfly kisses, we do fishies around here. There are certain rules for fishies. You have to be in bed with teeth brushed before bedtime. I just can’t do them after that, lips won’t pucker properly. I try and try, but amazingly, it just does not work. You can’t be pouting or it [...]

Cookie Monsters
We so rock! The girls have sold so many cookies in the first 48 hours of the sale that I have to be up at the crack of dawn to get the proper paperwork (that would be north) and go to the warehouse for more cookies (that would be south) and be back in time [...]

What happened to the week?
Geez, blink and it’s been another week!
Girl Scout cookies are here. I helped out at the firehouse unloading them but Patti kicked me out when things slowed down enough that she noticed I’d started limping. Details, details! I was still willing to help, that’s why they make Advil. So, now my garage is [...]

A day at the zoo
I’ve been to a number of big, famous zoos, but I’d say our little Palm Beach zoo can hold it’s own with any of them! It was closed for months after massive hurricane damage and this was the first time I’d been there since it reopened. WOW!! They did huge renovations and expansion in addition [...]

Christmas Pictures
Well, we got no skiing pictures, we got mostly lousy Christmas pictures, but we did get some ok snowmobiling pictures.
Aunt Kim’s favorite gift, chosen by her nieces with no help from me- a Poo-ler Bear. Yes, you press on its back and it poops brown jelly beans. Classy, huh? Kim loved it. She called to [...]

Another nothing day! I got 8 hrs sleep two nights in a row- really rare!- and still dozed off while reading and took a two hour nap yesterday. Thought about cleaning up but mostly worked on the computer and read.
The red on Lipservice has been bugging me so I’m changing it to raspberry. And I [...]

Another early appointment, this time the pediatrician for check ups. Are you seeing a trend here? Get it all out of the way the week there’s no school! Both girls are healthy, average weight and height. No surprises there but I can say I’ve been a good mom and took them, and we have the [...]

Another zombie day. The suitcases are still sitting inside the front door where we left them the night we got home. The kids played, I tried to catch up on some work. Victoria called and was in the area so she and Ari came over. The kids acted like they hadn’t seen each other in [...]
