Why I Love My 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 for 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
and
put the telephone book back 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 textbook 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.
She looked in on each of the kids and turned out
their bedside lamps,
hung up a shirt,
threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and
had a brief conversation with 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, and visualized 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...?
BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL......
(and they can't die sooner, they still have lots of things to do!!!!)
