CC: Meet Our Mothers

I forget about Mother’s day, because we’re here in Indonesia used to celebrate it at December 22th. Mother is someone that I love so much. Until now, I always miss her. I can’t see her anymore, and it’s really hard for me; but life must go on…

Not only my mother, but also my mother in-law has passed away. I’ve never met my hubby’s mother, neither does he. Oh… actually my hubby has ever met my mother in his dream. It happened when we’re still dating. He said that my mother introduced her self and gave her blessing to our relationship. My hubby can describe well her favorite dress, her face and hair; though he has never seen her last photo. It’s strange enough, isn’t it?

I know that writing this can make me cry, but I want to introduce our late mothers:

My mother’s name was Tuti Sugiarti. She passed away at September 30th, 1999; when she’s 59 years old. She released her last breath right after I was whispering to say that it’s all right if she wanted to go (I’m crying now…).

My mother was a talkative, caring and active woman. She’s a stay at home mother. We’re so close because I’ve no sister. We also like to spend times together. I hope she’s happy at her place now…

Fatimah is my mother’s in-law’s name. She died when my hubby is still 14 years old, precisely at October 4th, 1986. She’s 50 years old at that time. I heard that she was so kind, a good cook, and also a good business woman. She was famous with her jewelry store in my hubby’s home town.

It’s just a brief story of our late moms. If you still have your mother, don’t forget to show and say your affection, before it’s too late…
To all mothers, Happy Mother’s Day!

House Work – a Wife Joke

One afternoon a man came home from work to find total chaos in his house. His three children were outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house.

Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or that something serious had happened. He found her lounging in the bedroom, still curled in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel.

She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?" She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come home from work and ask me what in the world I did today?"

"Yes" was his incredulous reply.
She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

Hahaha…have you ever experienced this, too lazy to do all house works and let it untouched that day?
