I do a job share, in my teaching position, so I can be home with my kids on Fridays.  My kids’ school district has an early release schedule every Friday.  It’s the perfect opportunity to bake up an end of the week treat.  Most of the friends, neighbors, and family members in the ‘hood know about Cookie Friday, so I’ve started having to make a double batch each week.  (5 or more teenagers and a dozen Girl Scouts can eat a lot of cookies!)
