The Girl in a
Whirl by ~Dr. SuessT
(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' 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 yous
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.
