Mom - The woman

 

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, " I'm tired, and it's

getting late. I think I'll go to bed. "

 

Instead 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 WOMEN ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL..... (and women can't die

sooner, they still have things to do!!!!)
