This is so True!

This is a long read, but well worth it! (think Dr. Seuss)


LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME NOW!
YOU COULD DO WHAT I DO IF YOU ONLY KNEW HOW.
I STUDY THE SCRIPTURES ONE HOUR EACH DAY;
I BAKE, I UPHOLSTER, I SCRUB AND I PRAY
I ALWAYS KEEP ALL THE COMMANDMENTS COMPLETELY;
I SPEAK TO MY LITTLE ONES GENTLY AND SWEETLY.
I HELP IN THEIR CLASSROOMS! I SEW ALL THEY WEAR!
I DRIVE THEM TO PRACTIVE! I CUT ALL THEIR HAIR!
I MEMORIZE NAMES OF THE GENERAL AUTHORITIES;
I FOCUS ON THINGS TO BE DONE BY PRIORITIES
I PLAY THE PIANO! I BLESS WITH MY TALENTS!
MY TOILETS ALL SPARKLE! MY CHECKBOOKS ALL BALANCE!
EACH WEEK EVERY CHILD GETS A ONE-ON-ONE DATE;
I ATTEND ALL MY MEETINGS (ON TIME! NEVER LATE!)
I'M TAKING A CLASS ON THE TEACHINGS OF PAUL,
BUT THAT IS NOT ALL! OH, NO, THAT IS NOT ALL.
I TRACK MY BAD HABITS 'TIL EACH IS ABOLISHED;
OUR T-SHIRTS ARE IRONED! MY TOENAILS ARE POLISHED!
OUR FAMILY HOME EVENINGS ARE ALWAYS DELIGHTFUL;
THE LESSONS I GIVE ARE BOTH FUN AND INSIGHTFUL.
I DO GENEALOGY FAITHFULLY, TOO. IT'S EASY TO DO ALL THE THINGS THAT I DO!
I RISE EACH DAY EARLY, REFRESHED AND AWAKE;
I KNOW ALL THE NAMES OF EACH YOUTH IN MY STAKE!
I READ TO MY CHILDREN! I HELP ALL MY NEIGHBORS!
I BLESS THE COMMUNITY, TOO, WITH MY LABORS.
I EXERCISE AND I COOK MENUS GOURMET;
MY VISITING TEACHING IS DONE THE FIRST DAY!
(I ALSO GO DO IT FOR SOMEONE WHO MISSED HERS.
IT'S THE LEAST I CAN DO FOR MY CHERISHED WARD SISTERS.)
I CHART RESOLUTIONS AND CHECK OFF EACH GOAL;
I SEEK EACH 'LOST LAMB' ON MY PRIMARY ROLL.
I CAN HOME-GROWN PRODUCE EACH SUMMER AND FALL
BUT THAT IS NOT ALL! OH, NO. THAT IS NOT ALL.
I WRITE IN MY JOURNAL! I SING IN THE CHOIR!
EACH DAY, I WRITE 'THANK YOU'S TO THOSE I ADMIRE.
MY SONS WERE ALL EAGLES WHEN THEY WERE FOURTEEN!
MY KIDS GET STRAIGHT A'S! AND THEIR BEDROOMS ARE CLEAN!
I HAVE A HOME BUSINESS TO HELP MAKE SOME MONEY;
I ALWAYS LOOK BEAUTIFULLY GROOMED FOR MY HONEY.
I GO TO THE TEMPLE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK;
I CHANGE THE CAR'S TIRES! I FIX THE SINK'S LEAK!
I GRIND MY OWN WHEAT AND I BAKE ALL OUR BREAD;
I HAVE ALL OUR MEALS PLANNED OUT SIX MONTHS AHEAD.
I MAKE SURE I ROTATE OUR TWO-YEAR' SUPPLY;
MY SHOPPING FOR CHRISTMAS IS DONE BY JULY!
THESE THINGS ARE NOT HARD; 'TIS GOOD IF YOU DO THEM
YOU CAN IF YOU TRY! JUST SET GOALS AND PERSUE THEM!
IT'S EASY TO DO ALL THE THINGS THAT I DO!
IF YOU PLAN AND WORK SMART, YOU CAN DO THEM ALL, TOO!*


*IT'S EASY! SHE SAID AND THEN SHE DROPPED DEAD!



I've been feeling a little frustrated that I can't seem to do it all! This poem helped to put things into perspective!
