Happy Mother’s Day

This was sent to me in an email.  Enjoy!

 

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 will 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 supper. She will
get out a pound of hamburger. She’ll 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
five-year-old will answer and hang up. She’ll remember that she wants to
phone a friend to come for coffee.

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.

More Mac and Cheese, please!

    BaHaHaHa!!! This is a little to close to the truth for this girl! The only thing missing was some warfare somewhere in the deep recesses of my house. Loved it! Oh, and if I’m posting comments, just promise you won’t read too hard and see all the typos! 😉

  • Nice to meet you! I found your blog today and wanted to encourage you on your road to implementing Charlotte Mason’s ideas. I, too, will be moving in that direction next year (from unit studies). I am looking forward to getting to know you!
