For the last month, I've been hip-deep in Girl Scout cookies.  My family would appreciate it if the world understood what that meant to our family!

While the cookies are here, I'm responsible for about $3500 in cash and merchandise.  There are inventories, bank deposits deliveries and drop-offs.  Almost every day, something is happening--cookie booth, deposit, pickup, etc. In addition, every move must be entered on the council book-keeping page.

But, of course, I'm a wife and the mother/teacher of a homeschooling high schooler.  We also have a son in his senior year in college, who is starting on the job search (fine time for that!)  Most years (during cookies) we are not able to keep up our school schedule...or household maintanence, for that matter!

In the middle of all of this, my oven died.  That made meal prep much more difficult...especially the bread baking.  Where is a brick oven when you need one?

I finally called an end to cookies today.  My family needs me back.  We have 74 boxes that we need to try to transfer to other troops or sell. I should get all the book work done this week.  We start back to school on Wednesday...I hope.  I hope to work on my weekly plan tomorrow. However, I have my first colonoscopy scheduled for Monday, and I hear the prep the day before is the most fun part; so the schedule is "subject to change"...like most anything in my life.

So that's where I've been for the past month.  I'm really excited about getting back to life!

Feeling blessed!  How about you?
