FOR MORMON WOMEN EVERYWHERE!!!

The Girl in a Whirl

by ‘Dr. Sue’(a.k.a. Vickie Gunther)

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 practice! 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-years’ supply;

My shopping for Christmas is done by July!

These things are not hard; It’s good if you do them;

You can if you try! Just set goals and pursue 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.
