The more it snows (tiddley pom)
The more it snows (tiddley pom)
The more it goes (tiddley pom)
On snowing.

And nobody knows (tiddley pom)
How cold my toes(tiddley pom)
How cold my toes (tiddley pom)
Are growing.



thanks Miss Marple

What Do Women Do All Day?

Every minute, to and fro,
That's the way my hours go;
Bring me this, and take me that,
Feed the dog, take out the cat.

Standing up, I eat my toast,
Drink my coffee, thaw the roast.
Empty the garbage, make the bed,
Rush to church, then wash my head.

Sweep the kitchen, wax the floor,
Scrub the woodwork, clean the doors;
Scour the bathtub, then myself;
Vacuum carpets, straighten shelves.

Eat my 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?" they ask,
Wait and see.

Dirty dishes crowd the sink,
Next there's popcorn, then a drink.
Will they never go to bed?
Will I ever get ahead?

"Bring me water." "Get the light."
Turn off the TV, lock the bike.
"Where's my pillow?" "Hear 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?"

By Marshall H. Hart

Great poem!

There was a thread a couple days ago—Men who help with housework get more/ something like that. I could have used this poem then! We had a fun time with it!

A couple of the men started whining about being house husbands—they didn’t get much sympathy!

My dad often mused that it was possible he and mom weren’t legally married.

“I don’t think your father had a license for that shotgun,” he said.

A To-Do List

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Galatians 5:16-26

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. —Galatians 5:22

What’s on your to-do list today? Cleaning out an overstuffed closet? Calculating a financial report at work? Paying your monthly bills?

We all have things we need to get done today, whether we’ve written them down or not. They’re important for us to accomplish.

While a to-do list is helpful, another type of list is even more valuable: a “to be” list. Albert Einstein said, “Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.”

The apostle Paul encouraged the Galatian believers, and now tells us, to be concerned with our character. He said that if we’re controlled by the Holy Spirit, God will produce in us the characteristics of “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (5:22-23).

As you look at those character traits, which are you needing most in your life? More patience with a co-worker or a child? A little more gentleness and kindness toward a neighbor? As you draw near to God, He will enable you to be the person He wants you to be.

Perhaps at the top of your to-do list today you could put: Spend time praying and reading God’s Word. That would be a good start in helping with your “to be” list.

The hidden person of the heart
Must take priority
Because our inner character
Determines who we’ll be.  —Sper

It’s not what you do but who you are that’s most important.

Bible in One Year: Luke 7–12; Proverbs 23:29-35

I love this graphic, Dita.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

I’m going to try to catch up on pings before I leave for the day. Hubby wants to take a drive to see trees in bloom and then go out to dinner.

Thanks for coming by.

Have a Super Saturday.

“It’s not what you do but who you are that’s most important.”

I saw that thread but didn’t get to it.

I have so many poems saved that sometimes I think I must have poems for every occasion.

Hope you are enjoying a Happy International Women’s Day!
