Today I am back at work. I was nice to have a week off and it is kind of hard to get back into the swing of things. Oh well, I do get 4 weeks off a year so I can take more time in a couple of months for my daughter’s spring break.
Walking in to the office today, I was faced with voice mail and the regular type of mail you get after being gone for a week. I am never faced with loads of email that need my attention, because I check my email all the time from home. It is so much easier to check everyday and not have to come back to work with hundreds of email messages demanding my attention.
Also demanding my attention was to get the people in my building to buy Girl Scout Cookies from my daughter K. This year I have chosen to not walk the neighborhood taking pre-orders. We live in a part of town that has horse property so it is a lot of walking for not too many orders. Once we have our cookies in hand I am going to take a couple of the girls with a wagon door to door.

Getting Work Done
I am on vacation. Ten days without going to work, five days of youngest daughter being in school and two weekends to get work done around my house.
I am very involved with Girl Scouts and have (call me crazy) three troops. I have a co-leader who is doing the planning for one of the troops, but it is still mine. I had two events that I ran in November and December and my house looked like Girl Scout stuff was caught in a hurricane. Yesterday, I spent several hours cleaning the kitchen and vacuuming and mopping the entire white tile in the main area of the house. I hate white tile!
Six Thirty came around and my house looked pretty good. Eight girls out of 11 Cadette/Seniors showed up for the meeting. We discussed what they want to do with their cookie profits depending on how our sales go this year. They don't seem too interested in tent camping. My co leader brought her small video camera and we had the girls make cookie commercials. One group really did a commercial and the other was very silly - theirs looked more like a cookie mugging.
