I think I&#8217;ll go to bed.&#8221; She went to the kitchen to make <\/p>\n<p> sandwiches for the next day&#8217;s lunches, rinsed out the popcorn bowls,<br \/>\n took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked <\/p>\n<p> the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and<br \/>\n bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next<br \/>\n morning. She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of<br \/>\n clothes into the wash, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She<br \/>\n picked up the game pieces left on the table and put the telephone book <\/p>\n<p> back into the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket<br \/>\n and hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for<br \/>\n the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher,<br \/>\n counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a textbook out<br \/>\n from hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend,<br \/>\n addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the<br \/>\n grocery store. She put both near her purse. Mom then washed her face<br \/>\n with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night Solution &#038; age fighting<br \/>\n moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails. <\/p>\n<p> Dad called out, &#8220;I thought you were going to bed.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m on my way,&#8221;she <\/p>\n<p> said. <\/p>\n<p> She put some water into the dog&#8217;s dish and put the cat outside, then<br \/>\n made sure the doors were locked. She looked in on each of the kids and <\/p>\n<p> turned out their bedside lamp, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks <\/p>\n<p> in the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still<br \/>\n doing homework. <\/p>\n<p> In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next<br \/>\n day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6<br \/>\n most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized <\/p>\n<p> the accomplishment of her goals. <\/p>\n<p> About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in<br \/>\n particular. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to bed.&#8221; And he did&#8230;without another thought. <\/p>\n<p> Anything extraordinary here?
