A Test of Your Priorities

There are five things going on simultaneously which need to be taken care of:

1. The telephone is ringing.

2. The baby is crying.

3. Someone knocks at the front door or rings the doorbell.

4. There is laundry hanging on the line outside and it begins to rain.

5. The water faucet in the kitchen is running.

In what order do you take care of the problems? Jot down your order, and after a while, we’ll let you know what the sequence you selected indicates about your priorities for life.

1. Check the baby....of course.

2. Turn off the water.

3. Answer the door....could be Publisher's Clearinghouse!!

4. Have a glass of wine, especially if it really was PC!

5. The heck with the laundry...that's what the dryer is for.

6. Let the machine get it..... :p

1. Check the baby
2. Turn off the water
3. See who's at the door
4. Bring in the laundry
5. Answer the phone (which will have rolled over to the machine by now)

In keeping with the best Mexican tradition..."Manana", which, as we all know, doesn't necessarily mean "tomorrow", just not today.

It's raining so
3 answer the door
4 grab the laundry
2 check the baby...probably just woke up and is safe in the crib
5 turn off the faucet...the plug wasn't in anyways
1 check message or caller id.
