10 Bags of Cookies
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s safe to assume that most parents hate school fundraisers, right?! Usually, it’s pretty easy to avoid these fundraisers. Don’t want to sell? Then don’t.
However, today, I drove home with 10 bags of chocolate chip cookies from an okay cookie shop, to sell. It was nearly impossible to avoid this fundraiser, as we were required to sign-up ahead of time with how many cookies we planned to sell.
For two good weeks, I avoided the sign-up sheet, only to come in one day with Adri’s name highlighted in bright yellow. That scared me into marking down the smallest option, 10. One of my friends though, was unwavering, and unfazed by the neon blemish on her name. That is, until Cookie Mom cornered her about selling. ::insert eyeroll and middle finger emojis::
Now I’ve got nine bags of cookies sitting in the car (I ate a bag on the way home). Even if I did want to sell them, anyone I would sell to either already has to sell them themselves, or is on a low/no carb diet. Oh, and let’s not forget the no soliciting rule on post.
Soo.. Here is my plan for the 10 bags of cookies that I will not be selling:
- Eat a bag on the way home in a fit of rage.
- Throw a bag at the MPs at the gate. It’s ok. I know them.
- Give them as a birthday gift to my friend tomorrow.
- Send one home with V’s teacher tomorrow. I hear crunching helps relieve stress.
- Hand a bag to the next homeless person I see on the side of the road.
- Send to blog friends
- Serve them at Veronica’s birthday party. Whenever I figure out what they heck we’re doing.
- Save one for our next FRG meeting potluck.
- Give one to our newest neighbors! The anti-social couple moved out a few days ago, and the house is almost ready to be turned over.
- Put them in a Hawaii themed care package to a mainland friend
Anyone want a bag of cookies? Seriously! Send me your address!
