Well, "blessed are the poor," you know. Be downright unChristian to keep them from being as blessed as possible. Except for that whole, "What you did to the least of these, you did to Me," thing. But that's just a Commie insertion into otherwise infallable text.

I'm looking for tips from Buffista dads or those who know Buffista dads. My wife is trying to get me to get more sleep. Okay, perfectly reasonable and only out of concern. But where to get the time?

I get up at 6:30am so I can exercise. The rest of the family gets up at 8:00am or so and by the time I get the kids breakfest and everything it is at least 8:30 or 9:00 if I need to do something extra like go the grocery store or take care of little household tasks.

The moment I get in the door after work, I'm taking care of the kids, getting dinner, doing the bedtime stuff. By the time that's all done, it's at least 8:30pm. Most nights there is a bit of cleaning to take care of so that's another half hour. To get into bed ready for sleep at 10:30pm I need about a half hour of lead time. Bedtime routine, often a little pre-bed task like taking out garbage, putting clothes in the dryer, that sort of thing. So that's one hour of time for anything else, only there are some nights I need to go get groceries in which case zero time is left. We like to watch the Daily Show together, so on those nights, I've got a half hour for couple time or doing something I want to do.

Now we're talking about trying to put together a home business which doesn't frankly seem possible with this sort of schedule.

How do other Dads do it? Are there some time management tips they have? It's hard for me to see where the time is going to come from if not sleep.

I wonder what eliminating the minimum wage has to do with Jesus.

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto Caesar's slaves... well, nothing. They're slaves. Duh.

Silly. The entire thing is exactly literally true except for the inconvenient parts. Those don't exist at all.

It helps if you just donate sperm to your sister's lesbian lover....

Well, yeah, but I don't have a sister.

And, really, that horse has already left the barn, hasn't it?

{{Gud}} I don't have any advice since I'm, you know, single and don't have kids. All I can give are my sympathies.

Gud, can you get your parents to adopt a lesbian post haste? I know it's a little late in the game, but points for trying, right?

That sounds like a pretty packed schedule. It does sound like the lesbian sister is your best bet, sorry.

As a person who is not a Dad, but a Buffista who works 2 jobs, my time would come from the a) exercising and b) cleaning, cooking, and household chores, rather than sleep, but I am aware that that may not work best for people who want to be a) healthy and b) clean.

Damn, why didn't I think of that before. I should have known the secret to time management is to be related to a lesbian. I mean, it's so obvious now.
