why ‘mother’ is a verb….
why we love our mothers (thank you Denise den-Bakker)…
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, and put the phone back on the charger. 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, 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 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 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.
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….(we can’t die to soon anyway, we still have things to do!)
To all the mothers reading, I salute you!

I’ve been reading a few posts and genuinely and enjoy your writing. I’m just setting up my own blog and only hope that I can write as well and provide the reader so significantly insight.
Not too certain how I ran across your blog but glad I did find it. Think I was searching for something else on google. Not certain I agree 100% with what you say, but have bookmaked and will pop back to examine to see if you add any a lot more posts. Carry on the great work.
