Just got this via email. Made me smile..

Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum 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
telephonebook into the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a
wastebasket and hung
up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for thebedroom.
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. Mum
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 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...?
CAUSE WE ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL....
(and we can't die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)
Send this to five phenomenal women today... they'll love you for it!
Then:
GO TO BED!
