Have Dinner Ready: be sure to DRAIN the hamburger meat before mixing with your macaroni and cheese. Only the tastiest butter will do. Be sure to use Fine Chinette will you call "Slop's On" to your sweetheart.

Prepare Yourself: Be sure to find a place to easily get ahold of your wine/beer/spirits while preparing yourself. Only the brightest colored sweats will suffice. Matching sweat tops are a plus. Put a ribbon on your finger to remind yourself to put the Hamburger Mac in the Microwave, because Husband is late.

Prepare the children: tell them not to make faces when you all sit down to eat. No "gawd, mom, slop again?" when everyone gathers at the feast. Ask again who this little kid is from the neighborhood, and why was he eating with us again this week..

Make him Comfortable: Tell him 'gently' to get his stinking feet off the coffee table. Remind him that after you working 8 hours today, cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids, that the ONLY thing on your mind is any way possible to make HIS life comfortable. Turn on the golf channel. then, in a soothing voice, tell him to go screw himself, and hit the hay.
