Although my husband is quite helpful I had to post this. I thought it was cute! It reminds me more of when I was growing up than anything else.
WHY I LOVE MOM
Mom and Dad were watching TV when
Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's
getting late. I think I'll go to bed."
She went to the kitchen to make
sandwiches for the next day's lunches.
Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took
meat out of the freezer for supper
the following evening,
checked the cereal box levels,
filled the sugar container, put spoons
and bowls on the table and started
the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes in
the dryer, put a load of clothes into
the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button.
She picked up the game pieces left
on the table, put the phone back on
the charger and put the telephone
book into the drawer.
She watered the plants, emptied a
wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.
She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom.
She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher,
counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a text book out
from hiding under the chair.
She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the
envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store.
She put both near her purse.
Mom then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night
solution &age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and
filed her nails. Dad called out, "I thought you were
going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said.
She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then
made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.
She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps
and TV's, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper,
and had a brief conversation wit! h the one up still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next
day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6
most important things to do list. She said her prayers, andvisualized
the accomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the
TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed."
And he did...without another thought.
Anything extraordinary here?>
Wonder why women live longer...?
'CAUSE WE ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL......
(and we can't die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)
