If You Give a Mom a Muffin

I'm editing the Hand Picked Pumpkin Spring Newsletter this morning and am thinking about adding this "inspiration" which I find amusing as I've gotten off track about 20 times already today just trying to get my second cup of coffee.

If You Give a Mom a Muffin

If you give a mom a muffin
She'll want a strong cup of coffee to go with it,
She'll make herself some.
Her three-year-old will spill the coffee She'll wipe
it up.
While 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 box of Goodwill items.
Bumping into the Goodwill items will remind her that
she has to get these
boxes out of her basement and into the car.
When she puts the boxes in the car, she'll find a bag
of groceries and this
will remind her she has to cook dinner.
She will get out the chicken defrosting in the fridge.
She'll look for her cookbook, "101 Things To Do With
Chicken"
The cookbook will be sitting under a pile of mail.
She will see the Netflix movie she's meant to send
back and the phone bill,
which is due tomorrow.
The checkbook will be in her purse that is being
dumped out by her
one-year-old.
As she bends down to rescue her purse, she'll smell
something funny.
She'll change the baby's diaper.
While she is throwing away the diaper and searching
for the hand sanitizer,
the phone will ring.
Her three-year-old will answer and hang up.
She'll remember she wants to call a friend - not for
coffee, but for a very
strong drink.
Thinking of drinking will remind her that she was
going to have a cup of
coffee in order to stay awake for the rest of the day.
And chances are....

If she finds her cup of coffee (which she has to
reheat by now), Her
children will have eaten the muffin that goes with it.
