just what you need. My mom used to send me little notes in my lunch box. Now she sends them to my inbox.
She sent me this story today.

A man came home from work
and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and 20 wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife’s car was open, and so was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was blaring loudly a cartoon channel and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, ‘What happened here today?’ She again smiled and answered, ‘You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?’ Yes,’ was his incredulous reply. She answered, ‘Well, today I didn’t do it.’ |
HA! Is that not hilarious?! I’ve read it a million times and it still makes me laugh!
For every mother, working or staying home or doing a little of both, here’s a little message from me to you.
YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!
Or a super hero, but I’m thinking you’re both!
Have a fabulous day!

P.S. If you’re not a mom – call your mom and tell her she rocks; or call a friend that’s a mom and tell her or do both. You get me right?!
Oh yeah, and thanks mom for sending me this note – even if it wasn’t in a Strawberry Shortcake lunch box. 😉 It was still pretty sweet!
That is amazingly and perfectly accurate. I dream of doing that. Hiding my face for an entire day and ignoring all of it. But then I remember, I'm the one who would have to clean up TWO days worth the next day. Boooooo.
