Now if I could divide myself in two
Work would still abound for both me's to do
But with two sets of legs, two pairs of hands
I could tackle two chores - now there's a plan!
With the same effort, I'd do twice as much
And still have time for sleep, eating and such
Stress level should surely plummet way down
I might wear a smile instead of this frown!
And best of all, if I handled things right
I'd finish today before it's tonight!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Suthern, I understand how hard it can be to have to handle tasks and chores and duties in a day, dearest friend, my mom works too hard every single day and many times I always tell my mom "Don't worry, I'll clean it up for you!" as I feel my mo deserves a break so much! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is wonderfully said, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Suthern, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh yeah, It would be nice, Ruth, wouldn't it? Isn't it odd how a woman's work is never all done? There's always something to do!!

No matter what the differences
No matter what the cost
When words become our weapons ...
All that's beautiful is lost.

Suthern beloved one what a delight to read this, you see how observant I am, you mention that you’ve been posting and I come hotfoot.

Ah busy, busy, busy, beloved one, take some time just for you, for you deserve it most certainly. And when this (sarcasm alert) this calm and peaceful time is over for me, this run up to the wedding from hell, as it has been dubbed by anyone who isn’t Emma, I shall find time to take a breath too.

Beautiful writing darling one as always you excel, I wonder you know if those who profess to know you really do? Ah well, those who love you, as you know I do, understand just how frantic these past few weeks have been. Take care of you for you are incredible you know darling heart you really are.


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

now a world with two aunties wouldn't be a bad place -- but can you imagine two hawkes?  two toes?  yikes then women would have two slugs laying around on the couch watching football while both of themselves did everything around the house...

glad you're becoming prolific Ruth...

Living this one, and loving how you said it, Suthern!  Do you know how many times I wish I had my own personal clone machine?

Far too many to count!

Great write!

kaoru: I've been working at my Dad's for the past few weekends... my chores piled up! *S* Thank you!

M'Toe: You are a dear... and I know your mom is full of love and pride. *S* Thank you!

Ratleader: Just make sure that both of you writes poetry... I'll manage to double my reading time somehow! LOL Thank you, my friend. *S*

garysgirl: Woman's work, man's work... around here, it's all suthern's work! LOL Thank you! *S*

JM: Ahem! You can't really expect me to listen to still another nag, can you? LOL And my sister's on farm duty... finally! LOL So I can just mosey straight on down to the bottom of that checklist... right? LOL Thank you!

PS: And then you have to hurry! LOL

Marsha: It's so good to see you here... glad Emma's left you SOME breath! LOL Thank you so much!

Martie: I'll be glad to let a few friends in on the find. *G* And then I'm going to sell the patent... so the only busy I'll know is planning my retirement and counting my riches! LOL

Rebellious one: Since hawkes aren't totally without charm... (you thought I'd forgotten, right? LOL)... two would be just fine. LOL But two Toes would mean I'd have to swing baseball bats with BOTH hands. *G* And I'm not prolific... I'm coerced. LOL But I do thank you! *S*

Patricia: I keep thinking that there's enough of me to cut in half... but there's not even enough brain for one! LOL Thank you so much! *S*

SmartChick: It's the end of our fiscal year... so we have busy... and then we'll have layoffs... I could do without that kind of not busy! *G* Thank you for reading!

Why didn't I think of that! All I need is to divide myself in two! That way, I wouldn't have to give up my sleeping time! LOL

Love your wit and charm--and brilliance with this one!
