M<\/span>om and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, \u201cI\u2019m tired, and it\u2019s getting late. I think I\u2019ll go to bed.\u201d<\/p>\nShe went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day\u2019s lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the co ffee pot for brewing the next morning.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Dad called out, \u201cI thought you were going to bed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m on my way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She put some water into the dog\u2019s dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.<\/p>\n
She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TV\u2019s, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. \u201cI\u2019m going to bed.\u201d<\/p>\n
And he did \u2026 without another thought.<\/p>\n
