A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife
stayed home.
He wanted her to see what he went through so he Prayed:
"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my
wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through,
so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen.
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set
out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their
lunches,
drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning,
took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to make a
deposit,
went grocery shopping, then drove home to put away the
groceries, paid the bills and balanced the checkbook.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do
the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument
with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the
kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board
and
watched TV while he did the ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for
salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded
laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed.
At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't
finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love,
which he managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and
said: Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to
envy my wife's being able to stay home all day.
Please, oh please, let us trade back."
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied: "My son, I feel you
have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things
back to the way they were.
You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant
last night."

Thank you Christi! My husband seems to be of a similar mind--thinks I lie on the couch all day, eating bon-bons, and watching soap operas! Apparently the clean clothes, food on the table, made beds, full pantry, and clean house are due to MIRACLES occurring on a daily basis at our house.
