On Sunday, the guy that does the scheduling for the scorers for the local softball leagues called Dave to find out if he would score six games on Saturday. He asked me what plans we have for this weekend and I said that the only thing I and the kids were planning on doing was going to the Greater Cleveland Irish Festival on Saturday. Dave does not go to the festival. EVER. So he said that he could work the games on Saturday.
After the call, he asked what else we were doing this weekend.
On Friday evening, his principal is having an adult only picnic that we are attending. To be honest, I would prefer to rip out my fingernails than go to this event but . . . .
Saturday is the Festival . . .
Sunday I was planning on washing windows. We lots of windows (21 windows and two sliding doors) and it will take all day. All day.
Anyway, when I got home from work yesterday, the windows were all washed. Dave had gotten up around 6:00 a.m., it was still cool out and he figured that he would wash at least the front windows. And he just kept on trucking and did them all.
Besides a two hour break (he had to go to the doctor and WalMart for school supplies), he worked on the windows all day until he had to leave to score some more softball games (around 5:30). [Note to all: at least at our local WalMart, the annual school supply sale starts this week. Spiral notebooks are $.05/each and boxes of crayons are $.22. He buys the crayons, pencils, paper and scissors for his students. The spiral notebooks are for the girls and for our use at home.]
Anyway, back to the windows. To have them cleaned and sparkly is wonderful. And, the fact that I didn't have to do them is really truly wonderful.
