It's Mother's Day, so I was looking around on the internet to see if I could find any cool mother's day articles to post on my blogger. When I found this one, I was like "Wow, this is SO my mom!" So here it is, and to all of those overworked mothers out there... have a GREAT Mother's Day - you deserve it.


Goodnight, 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 prepared the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes into the dryer, put a load of clothes into the wash, ironed a shirt, and secured a loose button. She picked up the newspapers strewn on the floor, 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 creamed her face, put on moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth, and trimmed her nails. Hubby called, "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 a bedside lamp, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks in 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, and straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her list of things to do for tomorrow. About that time, the hubby turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular, "I'm going to bed." And he did.

Was watching Lord of the Rings the other day (BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!) and I came across this quote/scene that makes my heart melt every time I hear it...



Sam: I think I understand now... those people in the stories - they could have turned back any time. But they didn't. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What have we got to hold on to, Sam?

Sam: That there's still some good in this world, Mr.Frodo.... and it's worth fighting for.




Jeez... that's so beautiful! *sniff*
