Today the kids scored free lunch, thanks to their slacker mom. Want to do the same for your kids? Here's how.
1. Plan to go visiting teaching precariously close to lunch.
2. Arrive at appointment and have kids complain multiple times of hunger pains.
3. Quiet children with promise of lunch as soon as visit is over.
4. Have children wander into kitchen and beg for apple sitting on the counter.
5. Have good hearted mother of other child offer apples-a-plenty.
6. Leave appointment with apple filled children and think to self "My kids just ate apples, they should be good for one more quick errand."
7. Go to oil change place and wait.
8. Wait more while apples fully digest and childrens' hunger re-emerges.
9. Listen to children complain of hunger pains again.
10. Promise children snacks from vending machine.
11. Find vending machine broken.
12. Decline offer of donuts from stranger.
13. Take kids outside to distract them with rain puddles.
14. Go back inside due to rain.
15. Accept offer of free donuts from professional donut maker who has more than 12 dozen kinds in her car.
16. Watch as kids each eat 3 plus over sized donuts and stranger welcomes quiet that follows.
17. Drive home and put now sleeping kids to bed without additional sustenance.

Score! Really apples & donuts are a much better lunch that what I've brought to work.
Who cares about lunch....I hope it helped you to put a quick end to the visiting teaching visit!
(You know how everybody just want those things to be over?!)
My stomach is growling right now. The thought of a lovely, sugary donut sounds so freaking good...
well done, amy. i didn't see anything 'slacker' about it. perhaps you didn't realize it at the time, but it turned out to be a very strategic move to get your kids into bed without a lot of fuss. i love when they go from car to bed. eliminates a lot of work.
What are the chances some random donut guy is hanging out at the tire place? That is so awesome!
p.s. We got your Valentine's letter. I loved the stamp with the girls' pic and your family picture is perfect! Happy Valentine's Day!
