Mum and Dad were watching TV
when Mum said,
"I'm tired, and it's 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 tea the following evening,
checked the cereal box levels,
filled the 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 wash,
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 hidden 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 cleaned her face,
put on moisturizer,
brushed and flossed her teeth
and trimmed her nails.
Hubby called, "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 a bedside lamp,
hung up a shirt,
threw some dirty socks in
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 list of things to do for tomorrow.
About that time,
the hubby turned off the TV
and announced to no one in particular,
"I'm going to bed."
And he did.
Anything extraordinary here....?
Wonder why women live longer.....?
CAUSE WE ARE STRONGER.....
MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL....!!
