Why I Love Mom

Why I Love Mom…
Mom Dad and I 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 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 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. I 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.

She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside
lamps, 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.
(We can’t die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)
