For G&G Mom's

WHY I LOVE 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, cou nted 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 up still doing homework.

In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing
for the next day, straightened up the shoe ra ck. 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! I just did.

THEN, GO TO BED!

That's sounds just about right.A woman's work has no end and then you get up and it startes all over again. THank YOU AH !!!

You know this is one of the reasons I'm going back to work !!! Some how I'm doing everthing there is to do around here LOL !
Yall ought to see me on Saturday afternoons between visits here, I'm doing 5 loads of laundry and cleaning house LOL.
Honestly I do like to Vacuume the carpet because it looks good when I'm done.
Plus Herbert might slip up and leave a turd some where and my wife would say like she did when I came home with 6 chickens...She said You either get rid of them chicken or I'm leaveing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No chickens anymore.
One of the chickens chit in the carport and she stepped in it and when she got to work she noticed some GUE on the side of her shoe.
She didn't care for that at all. And they would roost on top of her car. LOL !!!
I'm surprised she lets me clean the house too ! I got this idear to put Armor all on the kitchen floor one time and man it looked good and shinny !
She came home from work and took her shoes off at the door and took off walking across the kitchen floor and slipped and I mean she busted here azz and slid into the refridgerator door and caved the door in !!!
I had left to run up to the store for a minute and intended on being there to warn her but you know how it goes.
It took her about a month to get over it and that happened over 15 years ago so I'm sure she's healed up by now.
All Jokes a side which all this is true I have a wife that i would never trade for another...A.H

we always wanted kids but could never have any, so we went into foster
parenting, and that has led to us adoting 5 kids. and we are fostering 1 kid.

their ages are ricky-15 but he is developmentaly delayed, non-verbal,
adhd, post traumatic stress syndrome,and he goes to spec. ed.

rachel-9

steven-8

alona- 7

elizabeth- 5

and the last one that we are fostering is 10 months old

you have to be carefull what you ask the lord for, because he has a
good sense of humor.
