Mum 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 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!!!!)
