Received this from a friend and decided to share it with you. This is an average evening for most Moms.
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 in the wash
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 waste basket 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!!!!)
THEN, GO TO BED!
