This is Why Women Live Longer
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 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.
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.
Mum 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 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....
(and we can't die sooner, we still have things to
do!!)
