All in a days work

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 into the dryer, put a load of
clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt, and secured a loose
button. She picked upthe newspapers strewn on the floor, picked
up the game pieces left on the table, and put the phone 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 schoolbook out from
hiding under a chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend,
addressed and stamped the envelope, and wrote a quick list for
the grocery store. She put both near her purse. She then, washed
her face, put on moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth.

Hubby called, "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. She turned off a
bedside lamp, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks in the
hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one child who was
still awake 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 list of things to do for tomorrow.

About that time, hubby turned off the TV and announced, to no
one in particular, "I'm going to bed," and...he did.
