Cookie Hell
I got to the cookie depot a little early. I knew there was going to be problems when I saw the big 18 wheeler at the fire house with three guys unloading the truck. The truck arrived at 8am and these guys were moving s l o w or, as one of the volunteers said "like molasses moving uphill in January". The volunteers are not permitted to unload the truck. Finally, at one point, all the volunteers must have said screw this and all these women with hand trucks just swarmed the truck. They had that damn thing unloaded within the hour. So, our 1215pm cookie pick-up was delayed back until 120pm. Can you say "unhappy"? I knew you could. Let me tell you there were some very pissed off cookie moms. We managed to get all of our troop's cookies stuffed into our cookie mom's big van within 20 minutes. Youngestand I didn't get home until 2pm. We were hungry, cold and tired.
So, Eldest is home from school and working on homework. Dinner tonight is going to be open faced sandwiches with gravy, salad and tater tots. Mmmm - I love tater tots.
I've got to get moving but all I want to do is lay on the couch and take a nap!

Glad you got it all done but sorry how long it took. Gah. I'd be tired too.

Which is why, when I was a Daisy Leader I made sure I had someone else be the "Cookie Mom". I wasn't that insane! LOL. She didn't know what hit her. ;)
