to correspond with ie's teacher (the dryer isn't done tumbling yet) I had

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, 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!!!!)
