Girl Scout Day

Hi y'all.....Thanks for the well wishes on my foot. Today was the prearranged day for my Girl Scout Troop's booth sale for cookies. I have eight girls (Cadettes) that are 12-14 -- all in 7th grade. I had arranged with my Kroger to have a booth sale there. We had $400 worth of cookies to sell. I knew I couldn't take my pain medicine and drive and sit up there so I just took the anti-inflammatory drug. As I dressed, I kept repeating the mantra, "I know I can do this; I know I can do this." It worked. As I got in the car, it was SLEETING. LOL......We started at 10am and finished up at 2pm. I made it the entire four hours. My foot is really really hurting now but not as bad as yesterday. I am shaking like a leaf but I did make it. I wouldn't have given anything for the experience. The girls learned four lessons today: (1) smiling helps to sell; (2) asking helps; (3) saw people come up and just DONATE money (learned the art of giving -- no matter how small; and (4) witnessed the next troop coming in and saw RUDE parents virtually shoving our girls out of the way (learned how NOT to behave). Oh, and they sold all but one box of cookies. Go Girl Scouts Go!
