THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST EMAIL OF THE YEAR !!
A man was sick and tired of going to work every
day while his
wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he
went through so
he prayed :
"Dear Lord, I go to work every day and put in 8
hours while
my wife merely stays at home.
I want her to know what I go through, so please
allow her
body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen."
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's
wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a
woman.
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened
the kids,
set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast,
packed their
lunches, drove them to school, came home and
picked up the
dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped
at the bank
to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, then
drove home
to put away the groceries, paid the bills and
balanced the
checkbook. He cleaned the cat's litter box and
bathed the dog.
Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make
the beds, do the
laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the
kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into
an argument
with them on the way home. Set out milk and
cookies and
got the kids organized to do their homework, Then
set up the
ironing board and watched TV while he did the
ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing
vegetables
for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped
fresh beans for
supper.
After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the
dishwasher,
folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to
bed. At 9 P.M.
he was exhausted and, though his daily chores
weren't finished,
he went to bed where he was expected to make love,
which he
managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt
by the
bed and said, Lord, I don't know what I was
thinking.
I was so wrong to envy
my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please,
oh please, let
us trade back."
Amen
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My
son, I feel
you have learned your lesson and I will be happy
to change
things back to the way they were. You'll just have
to wait
nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."

Well said! But, you forgot the part where she stays up until 2:00 am =
making pots- or at least tries, falls asleep at the wheel, and awakens =
with "road rash" on her face!
Take care,
Tracy Shea - trying to figure out how to make pots with a baby in my =
lap!

AND...
since clay is her profession don't forget the 2 or 3 insomniac hours every
other night on the internet trying to find galleries & shops; pricing out
new equipment and materials, maintaining the web site; keeping up with new
info and knowledge on clayart...
let's see and there's the show applications to weed thru, slides to be
made, books to keep...
oh, and let's not forget wedging clay, mixing glazes, turning up the kiln
at 3am, cleaning the studio...
But, are we happy??? Absolutely! Can't wait 'til I can afford a
housekeeper though! And a cook, and a dog sitter, and a bookeeper...
Oh well, life is good
