MOM

[Guest BengalLady]

"WHY I LOVE MY 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 stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out

some cash for the field trip, and pulled a textbook 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 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.

my mother worked tirelessly until her body gave out. no like the one above, but she did what was needed to keep the family together, and I will always hold her in the highest regard for it.

There is nothing like your mother....

I hope I'm as good as mine is.
