Life has been going on as usual around these parts. You know, laundry, get distracted, hang tissue paper pom poms in the girls room. Laundry, get distracted, hang a giant map in Keegan’s room. The usual.

I found this on Marjorie’s blog and I thought it fit perfectly with my life right now. I’m sure none of you can relate.

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.

Her three year old will spill the coffee.

She’ll wipe it up.

Wiping it up 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.

The cookbook is setting 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’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 goes with it.

I really think the only thing missing from this is the mom checking Facebook.

Have a great spring break everyone!!

    Is the photo of the paper pom poms you hung?? Where did you get them? They are too cute! As if you have the time, but do you want to come over and decorate.
