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. She rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the
freezer for dinner 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.
Mom 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 a three-in-one cleanser, put on
her Night Solution and 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. 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 still up doing homework. In her own
room, she set the alarm, laid out clothing for the next day, and
straightened up the shoe rack. She added three more things to
her "Six 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?
It's because they're made for the long haul! And, they CAN'T die
sooner. They still have things to do!!
