If You Give a Mom a Muffin...

I don't know who wrote this--it wasn't I--but it sure is accurate! Sums up my day today.

If you give a mom a muffin,
She'll want a cup of coffee to go with it.
She'll pour herself some.
Her three-year-old will spill the coffee.
She'll wipe it up.
Wiping the floor, she'll find dirty socks.
She'll remember she has to do laundry.
When she puts the laundry in the washer,
She'll trip over boots and bump into the freezer.
Bumping into the freezer will remind her
she has to plan for supper.
She will get out a pound of hamburger.
She'll look for her cookbook, "101 Things To Do
With a Pound of
Hamburger"
The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail.
She will see the phone bill, which is due
tomorrow.
She will look for her checkbook.
The check book is in her purse
which is being dumped out by her two-year-old.
She smells something funny.
She'll change the two-year-old's diaper.
While she is changing the diaper, the phone will
ring.
Her five-year-old will answer and hang up.
She'll remember she wants to phone a friend for
coffee.
Thinking of coffee will remind her
that she was going to have a cup.
And chances are... If she has a cup of coffee,
Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went
with it.
