What Do Women Do All Day?
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, then 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 baseball game I go,
When will there be time to sew?
Meet the teacher, stop the fight,
See the dentist, fly the kite;
Help with homework, do the wash,
Iron the clothes, put on the squash.
Shop for groceries, cash a check,
Fight the crowds, now I'm a wreck!
Dinner time it soon will be,
"What's for dinner?" Wait and see!
Dirty dishes fill the sink,
Make some popcorn
and a drink,
Will they never go to bed,
Will I never get ahead?
Bring me water, get the light,
Turn off the TV, lock up the bike.
Where's my pillow? Here my prayers.
Did you lock the door downstairs?
At last in bed, my spouse and I,
Too tired to move, too weak to cry,
But e'er I doze, I hear him say,"WHAT DO WOMEN DO ALL DAY?"

Just reading that made me tired!
Poor Jet... Is this why your MSN IM is always set to Busy or Away? :-(
I was almost too busy at work eating bon-bons and watching soap operas to read that whole thing. *tee hee*
Men just dont have a clue, do they!!
Wouldn't it be nice if we got to do things that mattered?? Things that didn't have to be done again, and again, and again??
My day starts out with emptying out the dishwasher, refilling it, starting a load of laundry and folding a load, making a bed, filling the bird feeders and watering the container garden. Day after day after day. We need a little variety, ya know?
Buffy, the things we do do matter... maybe they are 'routine'... and repetitive, but they matter. I grew up in a home where there was no mom at home, no, she had to go out and work full time, so, I know what the difference is - and I do know that those things may go unnoticed by many but they do matter.
