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
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 f
or 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
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!)
