It’s National Donut Day and I had been telling my 6-year-old all morning that we would celebrate by getting a big fluffy circle of sweetness.  So, after she and I completed our “to do” list this morning, it was off to our favorite bakery where we strolled in ready to sink our teeth into something oh so yummy.

Guess I should have put “get donuts” on the top of my list today.  “We just sold the last one!” said the nice lady behind the counter. WHAT?! NO MORE DONUTS????  I thought I was going to lose it.  This was going to be a huge treat for me.  When was the last time I had gobbled down a donut?  And today I had the perfect excuse to consume all of those calories. IT’S NATIONAL DONUT DAY!

As I stood there in shock, Emily calmly walked over to the counter and said “Okay. Can I have that smiley face cookie?”  So, off we went, a smiley face cookie for Emily and a big calorie save for me. I guarantee next year will be different.  I just may have to have two donuts.
