You'll be able to relate to this either because of your mom, or
because you are a mom - or both.
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 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 get-well 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, traightened 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. ( We can't die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)
