If You Give A Mom A Muffin…

Poems have inspired me for years to do what I love doing and today it’s poetry that reminded what motherhood is.

It’s a poem that reminded me of the cup of tea I left in the microwave this morning… and it is a poem that reminded me that I need to do laundry by tomorrow afternoon.

I love sharing poems on my blog that has made an impact on my life, hoping it would do the same for you.

I recently came across this poem on Facebook that touched my heart and made me cry. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did because honestly I think Beth has summed it up beautifully and I couldn’t say it any better.

If You Give A Mom A Muffin

by Beth Brubaker

If you give a mom a muffin,
she’ll want a cup of coffee to go with it.
She’ll pour herself some.

If You Give A Mom A Muffin
Her three-year-old will come and spill the coffee.
Mom will wipe it up.
Wiping the floor, she will find dirty socks.
She’ll remember she has to do laundry.
When she puts the laundry into the washer,
she’ll trip over shoes 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
(How to Make 101 Things 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 chequebook.
The chequebook is in her purse,
which is being dumped out by her two-year-old.
Then 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 she was supposed to phone a friend
to come over for coffee.
Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup.
She will pour herself some more.

When Motherhood feels heavy

And chances are,
if she has a cup a coffee,
her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.

Dear Beth,

Thank you! This poem made my week! Wishing you loads of success.

Can you relate to this poem?

My husband says in science this is called “The cause and effect” phenomenon.

  23. Copper scrap customer service Copper is a highly conductive and durable material, which makes it an excellent choice for electrical connectors. Here are some reasons why copper is preferred over other metals for electrical connectors. 1. Excellent Conductivity: Copper is one of the most conductive materials available. This means that it can quickly and efficiently transfer electricity from one point to another. Copper has a low resistance to electrical current flow, making it the best choice for high-current applications. 2. Durability: Copper is a tough and durable material that can withstand high heat and pressure without degrading or breaking apart. This makes it ideal for use in electrical connectors that need to perform in harsh environments, such as high-temperature applications like automotive and aerospace. 3. Corrosion Resistance: Copper has a high resistance to corrosion, meaning that it does not easily corrode or rust over time. This makes it an ideal choice for connectors that will be exposed to moisture, salt sprays, and other harsh environmental conditions. 4. Cost-Effective: Copper is a relatively inexpensive material, which makes it a cost-effective option for electrical connectors. Compared to precious metals like gold or silver, copper is much more economical, making it an ideal choice for high-volume manufacturing. 5. Availability: Copper is readily available worldwide, making it easy to source and manufacture into electrical connectors. In addition, copper is easy to recycle, which helps reduce waste and lower costs. In conclusion, due to its excellent electrical conductivity, durability, corrosion resistance, cost-effectiveness, and availability, copper is the best choice for electrical connectors Metal scrap reclamation and utilization Copper scrap identification Copper scrap public awareness Copper chromate recycling Copper scrap accreditation Scrap metal processing center

  24. Industrial copper recycling The primary reason why copper wire is not used as a fuse wire is that it has a low resistance to electrical current flow. Fuses are designed to interrupt the flow of current when the amperage exceeds the rated limit so as to protect the circuit from damage. When a circuit is overloaded, the resistance of the fuse wire increases, which causes it to heat up and melt, thereby cutting off the flow of current. Copper wire is a good conductor of electricity, which means that it allows electricity to flow freely. This is not desirable in the case of fuses, as an overload can generate enough heat to cause the wire to melt or vaporize. A fuse with a low resistance to current flow would do nothing to protect the circuit, as it would allow the current to continue to flow even when the circuit is overloaded. In contrast, fuse wire is typically made from materials that have a higher resistance than copper, such as aluminum or alloys like Nichrome. These materials have higher melting points than copper, which means that they can withstand higher currents before melting and interrupting the flow of current. This resistance allows a fuse wire to heat up when an overload occurs, which causes it to melt and break the circuit, thereby protecting the electrical components from damage. In summary, the reason why copper wire is not used as fuse wire is that it has a low resistance to electrical current flow, which can cause it to fail to protect the circuit in the event of an overload. Instead, fuse wire is made from materials with higher resistances that can withstand higher currents before melting and breaking the circuit Scrap metal reclamation and recycling facility Copper recycling company Copper scrap annealing Scrap copper recycling center Industrial copper decommissioning Scrap metal pricing
