When you spend more time in the car than at home...

When your nap is cut short by a phone call from Stink's school about a class that he wasn't signed up for, but then he really was signed up for, but then he didn't really like so much and spent his time at the homework club "where it was quiet"...

When you've broken your pledge to not be on the computer while the kids are home, and they're still up, and you have dishes to wash and bills to pay...

When you think your RSS feeder is now working, but you still don't know the difference between the one you have, FeedBurner, Google Reader and the reason Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld made so much money on those dumb computer commercials but you acknowledge that at least Bill Gates knows his way around a feed reader...

When your life has become such that rather than drink a beer with your husband your kids saddle up to him at the end of the day watching Modern Marvels, The History of Brewing, while you compute in geek heaven next door...

It's time to put the kids to bed and crack open a cold one.

And now, yes, I'm going to age myself, but sing along with me, friends, hopefully from the comfort of your happy RSS feed:

For All You Do, This Buds For You.

I think we are living mirrored lives. Only I prefer rum.

I personally prefer cheap wine. That strawberry Chardonnay Arbor Mist crap.

And, yes, I'm a lazy ass, too. There's times when the only reason I do dishes is because we're out of plates.

You look like Susan Sarandon in your profile picture. You aren't Susan Sarandon disguised as a blogger are you?Yet, how would that explain Rex. Perhaps Rex is simply an actor, playing your husband? Where is Tim Robbins?

Or does Bill Gates know how to work RSS feed? He's got his minions for that, doesn't he? I mean, I suspect there is a point at which even Bill Gates gets lost and confused.

Ok, now back to the subject of alcoholic pacification. I'm with ya. Pop a cold one for me, too!

Betsy appears to think like I do. Scary. ;)

When I was in high school, they opened up the purdy new Budweiser plant very near my home. Got to see the horsies and everything.

And then, there's Coors in Golden, so CO and Fat Tire Ale in Ft. Collins, so really, I'm surprised I prefer a glass of cheap wine.

But when i come over to your house, I'll drink a cool one. You know...to be polite and all.

To honor my redneck roots sometimes I eat a Twinkie with my cheap wine. To quote "Grease",
"It says right here that it is a desert wine."

Because nothing screams class louder than a Twinkie in one hand and a glass of Arbor Mist in the other watching What Not To Wear.
