You may have seen this as it is making the email rounds, but just in case you haven't:

IF YOU GIVE A MOM A MUFFIN

If you give a Mom a muffin,
She'll want a cup of coffee to go with it.
She'll pour herself some.
The coffee will get spilled by her three year old.
She'll wipe it up.
Wiping the floor, she will find some dirty socks.
She'll remember she has to do some laundry.
When she puts the laundry in the washer,
She'll trip over some snow boots and bump into the freezer.
Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan dinner for
tonight.
She will get out a pound of hamburger.
She will look for her cookbook (101 Things to Make 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 checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two
year old.
She'll smell something funny.
She'll change the two year old.
While she is changing the two year old the phone will ring.
Her four year old will answer it and hang up.
She remembers that she wants to phone a friend to come for coffee on
Friday.
Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup.
She will pour herself some.
And chances are......
If she has a cup of coffee......
Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.

This is very funny, Theresa, probably because it hits so close to home! I think it's my favorite "If You Give..." ever. And I hadn't seen it yet, so thanks for sharing.

Hahahahahahahaha!

My kids loved it, too. (I hope they'll like it better when they REALLY get it!)

I've been looking for this! I kept telling Bill about it and botched it, so he had me save it to our favorites so he can see what it really says.

Thanks for sharing Theresa!

That is me to a tee! Maybe this is why I never feel like I've accomplished anything

My favorite line is the title of the cookbook. For some reason that really cracks me up!

My thoughts exactly. Does someone have a camera in my home?
