If you give a Mom a task to do......

Can anyone relate with me here? What I just did so reminds me of the "If you give a Mom a muffin" I have posted below, however in my case it was more like, I was going to clean out my sink and also thought about running the dishwasher. I went into my laundry room where I keep my cleaning supplies and remembered I was going to wash my husbands work clothes, so I did that and then walked out of the laundry room and was faced once again with the sink remembering I wanted to clean it but that I also wanted to run the dishwasher which I put the little cleaning tablet thingy in the dishwasher realizing that I wanted to clean out the sink, which I then did then my thoughts about all this compelled me to write this post and now I need to get up and turn on the dishwasher! Read something similar below because I know I'm not alone with this :)

I Wanna 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 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.
