Hang Loose for a Moment

A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper.
>>"Hello ? Is your daddy home?" he asked.
>>"Yes," whispered the small voice.
>>"May I talk to him?"
>>The child whispered, "No."
>>Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?"
>>"Yes."
>>"May I talk to her?" Again the small voice whispered, "No."
>>Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, "Is anybody else there?"
>>"Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman."
>>Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak to the policeman?"
>>"No, he's busy , " whispered the child.
>>"Busy doing what?"
>>"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman," came the whispered answer.
>>Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, "What is that noise?"
>>"A helicopter." answered the whispering voice.
>>"What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
>>Again, whispering, the child answered, " The search team just landed a helicopter."
>>Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, "What are they searching for?"
>>Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle..."ME."

Satisfying Motherhood

When I hear someone comment that being a mother and homemaker is boring, I have a simple response: You’re right!

The truth is, almost any occupation – telephone operator, pathologist, lawyer or dentist – requires long hours of tedious activity. Few of us enjoy heart-thumping excitement every moment of our professional lives.

I once stayed in a hotel room next to the room of a famous cellist who was performing in a classical concert that evening.

I could hear him through the walls as he practiced for hours. He didn’t play beautiful symphonic renditions – he repeated scales and exercise, over and over. He began early in the morning and continued until it was time to go on stage.

As he stepped onto the stage that night, I’m sure many in the audience thought to themselves:” What a glamorous life he must lead!”

Some glamour! I happen to know how he had spent the entire day in his lonely hotel room with his cello.

I doubt that being a mother and homemaker is more boring than most other jobs. As for the importance of the assignment, I believe that no job can compete with the satisfaction of moulding & guiding a child.

Kermit: Do you like what you're doing (E.g. working, attending CCAs, studying etc etc)? Yes/No/Not Really? If no/not really.... Do you then know why you're still doing what you're doing? WITH THE END IN MIND, things could sometimes be much clearer & makes more sense!
Studying - Teaching us to use our brains & equipping us with knowledge
Working - To earn a living & provide for our families & a kick start in our career life
CCAs - To train us in useful skills beyond mugging geeks!!
