I received this from one of my very dear friends the other day. I don’t normally pass on these things but I couldn’t resist this one. I only wish I was as organised as the mum below. Read on for a bit of a laugh or cry at what mums really do everyday!

WHY I LOVE MUM…………… 

            Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum 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 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. 

            She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of 
            clothes into the washing machine, ironed a shirt and sewed 
            on 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 rubbish bin 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 excursion, 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 
            supermarket. She put both near her purse. 

            Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her 
            Night solution & age fighting moisturiser, 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 front 
            light was off. 

            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. 

            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!!!!)
