[This message contained attachments that have been removed.] Thanks rajababu. This is worth reading and storing. Who is the author? If you know, please tell me, so that I can quote it in future along with the author's name. Here is what I read somewhere: *** *Why I love 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 and put the telephone book back 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 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. 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!!!!) ======================================= On 5/11/08, Nivraaj Consultants wrote: > > Courtesy Mrs. Apte > > When You Thought I wasn't Looking, > I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, > and I wanted to paint another one. > > When You Thought I wasn't Looking, > I saw you feed a stray cat, > and I thought it was good to be kind to animals. > > When You Thought I wasn't Looking, > I saw you make my favorite cake just for me, > and I knew that little things are special things. > > When You Thought I wasn't Looking, > I heard you say a prayer, > and I believed that there was God I could always talk > to. > > When You Thought I wasn't Looking, > I felt you kiss me good night, > and I felt loved. > > When You Thought I wasn't Looking, > I saw tears come from your eyes, > and I learned that some things hurt, > but its alright to cry, > > When You Thought I wasn't Looking, > I saw that you cared > and I wanted to be everything that I could be. > > When You Thought I wasn't Looking, > I Looked...... ... > > > Happy Mother's Day! > > > Regards, > Rajababu, Nivraaj Consultants > rajababu_75@yahoo.com > > > > >____________________________________________________________________________________ > Be a better friend, newshound, and > know-it-all with Yahoo!
