Every minute, to and fro, That's the way my hours go, Bring me this, take me that, Feed the dog, put out the cat. Standing up I eat my toast, Drink my coffee, thaw the roast, Empty garbage, make the bed, Rush to church, wash my head. Sweep the kitchen, wax the floor, Scrub the woodwork, clean the door, Scour the bathtub, then myself, Vacuum carpets, straighten shelves Eat a sandwich on the run, Now my afternoon's begun. To the soccer game I go, When will I find time to sew? Meet the teacher, stop a fight, See the dentist, change a light, Help with homework, do the wash, Iron the clothes, put on the squash [CENTER][CENTER][B][B][COLOR=darkred][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=4][COLOR=#95af8d]Shop for groceries, cash a check,[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [/COLOR][/B][/B][B] [B][SIZE=4][COLOR=#95af8d][COLOR=darkred][B][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Fight the crowds, now I'm a wreck![/FONT][/B][/B] [/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][COLOR=#95af8d] [B][SIZE=4][COLOR=#95af8d][B][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Dinner time it soon will be,[/FONT][/B][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=4][COLOR=#95af8d][B][B][FONT=Times New Roman]"What's for dinner?"

Hello Paulina Nice to see you here. How r u?? Thank you for peeping in this thread. Yes this is the exact life of a woman even though exhausted by the end of the day if some family member wants her she is again back on her feet to do her duty.
