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.
