How to spend 2 hours in your car and never leave Flower Mound

I had today off from the TV station. With the wife at work and the kids at school, I spent the day taking care of stuff around Flower Mound. My car has a timekeeper in it, to measure how much time I spend on each trip. That timer resets to 0:00 if my car is parked for more than two hours, but it keeps growing up and up if I drive it regularly throughout the day. When I was driving home at 6pm tonight, I looked at my dash and saw I had driven 2 hours and 9 minutes in my car today, and I'd never left Flower Mound.

Here are the stops I made:

Started at home.
Old Settlers Elementary (drop off kids for school)
Main Street Vet (drop off dog for procedure)
Home
Chick-Fil-A (to pick up lunch for kid #1)
Old Settlers Elementary (lunch with kid #1)
Lifetime Fitness
Sonic (next door)
Culvers (2499/3040) (to pick up lunch for kid #2)
Old Settlers Elementary (lunch with kid #2)
Back in Time barber shop (2499/Churchill)
Old Settlers Elementary (pick up kids after school)
Home
Dr. Hudelson's allergy clinic (next door to library)
Kroger (1171/2499)
Kohl's
Main Street Vet (pick up dog)
Home

All that took over 2 hours in the car. How many miles? Take a guess. 25 miles in just over 2 hours. That's a lot of school zones and red lights (and a couple of drive-thrus where I didn't cut off the engine).
