If You Give A Mom A Muffin

One of our favorite books in our home is "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" and this is a fun spin on it:

If you give a Mom a muffin, She'll want a strong cup of Diet Coke to go with it. She'll pour herself one.
Her three year old will spill the Coke. 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 box of D.I. items. Bumping into the D.I. items will remind her she has to get these boxes in the car and out of her basement.

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 mail and the preschool bill, which is due tomorrow. She will look for her checkbook. The checkbook will be in her purse that is being dumped out by her one year old.

She'll smell something funny. She'll change the baby's diaper. As she finishes up, she'll realize she brought the hand sanitizer down to the kitchen. 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 phone a friend for lunch. Thinking of lunch will remind her that she was going to have a Diet Coke in order to stay awake for the rest of the day.

And chances are...If she finds her Coke glass (which she has to pour again), Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.

Happy Mother's Day to all you busy moms - especially those who never get to eat that muffin (muffins have too many calories anyway!).
