It's your turn to provide refreshments for the PTA meeting, and you swear-no, really, you swear-that this time you'll pick up something from the supermarket on the way home from work. After 12 years of fresh-grilled tuna on homemade bread and made-from-scratch brownies, this time they can darn well eat Oreos. Of course, there's always those cute little flowerpot snacks with the crushed Oreos for dirt and real gummy worms-there's no actual cooking involved. Why not, you can whip those together while you're checking your email. The way I look at it, if the kids are still alive when my husband comes home from work, then I've done my job. -Roseanne
