FAMILIAR?
Mom and Dad were
watching TV when Mom said “I’m tired, and it’s getting
late, I’m going 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, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game
pieces left on the table and put the telephone book backinto the drawer.
She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung a towel up 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 in 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 their bedside lamp, hung up a shirt,
threw some dirty socks in the hamper, and had a brief conversation with
the one still up 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’RE
MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL !
