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, 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 list 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, 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!!!!)

A man's idea of multi tasking is doing a chore and complaining about it at the same time.

That hurts.  Deep down... hurts.  I mean, lifting a 800lb woman onto a gurney and getting a world record size hernia, hurts...
