Everybody's Working for the Weekend
Had a pretty good weekend, though it rained a lot. We need the rain though and it'll help soften the ground, making it easier to pull up this ivy-like stuff I want to get rid of in the yard.
We were supposed to wash windows on Saturday, but with the rain it's difficult to manage Thing 1 and Thing 2 inside someone else's home while you're trying to wash the windows. Mrs C. would be the one stuck with the managing part, though. I get to do the outsides and the ladder work. I don't mind working in the rain, as long as it isn't too cold. Also, Mrs C needed to leave for a bit with Thing 2 right in the middle of the job, so it was best that we rescheduled.
So we stayed home and cleaned the house instead. Or rather, I should say we started cleaning the house. Mrs C and I are both slobs of a sort. I'm much more so than she. Anyway, we have a guest room that inevitably ends up as a storage room where every flat surface ends up getting covered with piles of stuff. I started work there. We're out of checks and I know there's a box of them in that room somewhere. Still haven't found them. But, we can see half the floor now.
I also started moving my shirts into that closet (the shirts that hang up). It's much easier for me to grab a shirt in the morning than it is to try and remember to pick one out before I go to sleep. Since I get up long before everyone else, sneaking back into the bedroom to find a shirt I can't see isn't always a good idea. This doesn't help with anything that lives in my dresser, but it's a start.
Sunday I went to my normal side job... running the sound for a church. Nothing exciting to report there, but next week is Easter with a 5 AM call. Still, it won't be a chore. I'll have more inputs to manage but that makes it more fun. I'm not looking forward to having trumpets, though. We're not in a large venue and they could easily overpower all the other music. I'm not sure what we're going to do about that, yet. It's just like the tambourine we had this week. I didn't have a mic for it at all and it still cut though and sounded as if it was mic'ed.
Later we had Ultimate practice. This was the first practice of the year with rain so we arranged a sitter for Thing 1 and Thing 2. Good thing, too... it rained lots and was nice and windy. Last year, we brought the boys with us all the time. They don't mind the rain much as long as they are warm. But it certainly is easier on everybody if a sitter is available. When the weather is nice though, they always come along.
Luckily Mrs C has been earning a little extra watching other's kids and we've just put that into a "sitter pot" and now we have this disposable income we can use just for this purpose. It's been great! We've been able to go on dates and now practice with no kids and not have to worry about spending too much.
Enough for now... gotta get working (been here for 30 minutes now and all I have to show for it is this ;)
