Fancy a Laugh

Made me smile - I can relate to this 100%. Anyone else?!

Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum 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 dinner the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container and put spoons and bowls on the table.
  
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 rubbish bin 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 an excursion, 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.
  
Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night solution & age fighting moisturiser, 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.
  
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 basket, 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 visualised 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...?

It always amazes me how much my hubby just doesn't notice or remember things that need doing. I know for a fact he's still not taken the mat1b form to work he needs for paternity leave and I'm due next sat. Having put his mobile on to recharge overnight he's left it in the hall (so I can contact him if i go into labour!Mmm right!) I made choc flatjacks at weekend with him, told him which tin they were in, left it next to where he makes his packed lunch and he still forgot to put one in his box! Belive it or not he's actuallly being more thoughtful and noticing things better at moment so you can imagine what it's like normally. Hee hee bless him
