Why I love Mom!

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm

> > > >> >> > > She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and

Actually, I am usually the one to do about 25 things after saying "I am going to bed".

What a graet story! I'm going to show this to my husband. He always tells me you said you were going to ..whatever, and you still haven't done it.
Just goes to show us Moms are constantly re prioritizing and goal setting. (Sounds good, huh?)
