I want to be a good mom. I really do. I wake up every morning and think about what I can do to be a good mom. I want my kids to have the best of everything. I would go into debt up to my eyeballs and sell my kidneys to make sure my kids have every experience and opportunity they deserve. But, at this time year I start wonder if I should draw a line somewhere.
How many boxes of Girl Scout cookies should I buy to prove I am good mom? I LOVE the cookies. I will eat almost every flavor and eat a lot of them. I think the Girl Scouts are a worthy cause for my daughters. But I am very wary of allowing my girls to sell cookies door to door, even when I am with them. It's uncomfortable. I usually hit up a few of my co-workers, but I hate doing that. My daughter wants to sell 165 boxes of cookies and I can't buy that many boxes. At four bucks a box, that's $660. I guess I could take it out of my tax return. But I don't really need 165 boxes of cookies.
So what's the answer? I don't know, but I know I'll be buying and eating more cookies than I need. Maybe a lack of sleep from being out of town for so long has warped my ability to think reasonably. I have a week to figure out how to get people to buy 155 boxes of cookies. I'll buy 10, but the rest is up to the actual Girl Scout!
