WHY I LOVE MY MOM Mood
Monday, March 3, 2008 | A Happy story

    WHY I LOVE MY 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 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 ARE MADE FOR THE LONG
HAUL...... (and we can't die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)
   
   
    Send this to five phenomenal women today..they'll love you for
it!
    Then: GO TO BED!
