Yes. Can't you tell by how less informed I am?

Plus, it comes in handy for the other morning ritual. It's pretty crappy when the Internet on smartphone hasn't uploaded before I've downloaded...often by the time it's logged in, I've logged out. With the paper, I am usually done with Bernie by the time I've Bernied.

Funny, I usually can't take a crap in the morning.
Here is usually my evening ritual:
I get home from work about 4 or 4:30, get trucked by 3 girls, "Daddy's Home!!!!!" ( the best ritual of my life!) gauge weather Mrs. Wart is in one of her moods, and how I need to talk to her. Pick up baby Rose and hold her for at least 10 min. Put her down, go up to the bathroom, take a dump, change in to shorts and a t-shirt. Go back downstairs and figure out what I am cooking. Cook Dinner, chase the kids around while Mrs Wart "gets her break from her hard day" get dinner on the table, round up the kids and force them to eat. Clean up after dinner while Mrs. Wart berates me for her having to do anything with the kids when she should be able to now relax. Make sure Stinky has completed her homework. Run the kids upstairs for baths, bath them, clothe them, dry their hair, then spend the next 45 min to an hour getting them to sleep. It is now about 8 pm, and I can go down stairs, watch some T.V. with Mrs. Wart, but make sure I am the one dealing with all of the baby's needs, because it has been a really hard day for Mrs. Wart. Get Mrs. Wart a snack, some hot tea, change the baby's diaper and get her ready for bed. Make formula for the night. Send Mrs. Wart off to bed, but not before being berated for not cleaning the kitchen the "proper way" earlier. Baby Rose is still awake while I finish up cleaning the kitchen. I get baby Rose to sleep about 10:30 or 11. Make sure the plants are watered, clean the cat box out,sweep and mop the downstairs if it needs it, take out the trash, make sure everything is locked down, and then upstairs I go. Take Smelly to the bathroom, then take Poopy to the bathroom. I then can get ready for bed, and off to bed about midnight. Baby Rose usually wakes us up about 3 or 4 am, about 60% of the time I get up and do the feeding, the other 40% I still am awakened by her, sometimes I run downstairs to get the bottle while Mrs. Wart changes her diaper. Then back to bed about 4:15. The alarm goes off at 5 am, and I am up to get ready for work.
