Both girls were up early this morning and M had a croupy cough so it was off to the weekend walk-in clinic for the 3 of us before we passed go, before we collected $200.

We got to the Dr's office promptly at 8 AM only to find that they didn't open until 9 AM so we headed off to find donuts. Now I know I passed at least 10 strip shopping centers before I turned around and no donut shop appeared. C suggested I go to the grocery store, which I should have done, but I had my heart set on Dunkin' Donuts after she mentioned that was her favorite kind (besides Krispy Kremes, but knew they wouldn't have those out in the burbs).

It was getting close to 9 so we headed back toward the Dr's office and I decided to stop in the Whole Foods across the street thinking they'd surely have donuts (probably whole wheat ones with no trans fat, but still...).

Nope, wrong again. I tried to talk the girls into a muffin but they both eyed the huge chocolate chip cookies and wanted those instead. Losing all desire to negotiate, I gave in.

We sat in the Dr's waiting room (the sick child side) and both girls ate their cookies for breakfast.

I didn't make eye contact with any of the other parents, but I'm sure they were all thinking "no wonder they are sick...look what she feeds them for breakfast!"

Oh, the humility!
