The following represents the priorities and daily recycled preoccupations of the middle-aged man... share and laugh at your own peril as it may happen to you (or cheers brother if you're already there with me (-:

Morning
1. Take shower, comb hair, and put food in your stomach (preferably in that order).
2. Compliment wife on her appearance (reference hair, clothes, or some other superficial quality).
3. Count number of kids at breakfast table (and make sure they are actually YOUR kids).
4. Call work if you're running late (if you've been fired or don't have a job, skip this step).
5. Make small chat with co-workers, including the same comments and topics you've shared on 577 separate occasions.

Afternoon
6. Over lunch, call to argue and complain about medical, insurance, communications, mortgage or other inscrutable bills you barely understand.
7. Stop at Jimmy John's for that turkey sandwich with sprouts and hot peppers you've had 177 different times, but which still tastes kinda good.
8. Stay awake at work after lunch (if absolutely necessary). 
9. Stop on way home for milk, eggs, bread, or bottle of wine for wife.
10. Enjoy hugs and love from young children when getting home (best part of being a parent).

Evening
11. Give the wife 5 quality minutes of ear time, without trying to solve her problems or give advice, and conclude listening by saying, "Well, I'm sure things will be better pretty soon"
11. After dinner check household priorities: make sure the lawnmower has gas, that there is fabric softener for the dryer (static electricity hurts man), none of the toilets have overflowed, and that the neighbor's dog hasn't relieved himself in your back yard.
12. Make sure the kids finish their homework (or just finish it yourself if it's getting late).
13. Finish dishes, vacuum, fold laundry or any short task that will give you wife points.
14. Put on your fav youtube channel & enjoy for 18 minutes before you fall asleep on the couch.

... now stumble to bed, set the alarm, and get ready for it all over again ...
