Pool Closing

Last weekend was the most dreaded weekend at our house, it was time to close the pool. I love having the pool in the summer but I always dread having to close it. My mother and my sister dread it also. My dad is in charge of getting everything toghether and all we are supposed to do is help put the cover on it but somehow that one task is always very complicated. My dad is a really nice person but sometimes he gets so stressed out about everything. Sometimes he just needs to chill and not think about things so much. Before we went outside we asked my dad if he was ready for us and he said he was. So my mom, sister, and I went outside to hurry up and get it over with. However when we went out there he was still trying to get the cover unfolded. So we helped him unfold it and he kept saying that we were unfolding it wrong when there really wasn't a wrong way to do it. At this point even my mom was becoming aggravated but he was already freaking out and we were just trying to unfold the cover. So finally he gets in the pool and we have the cover halfway on the pool and he realizes is that it isn't the way that we had put it on last year. In unison my mom, sister, and I all say it doesn't matter it's too late. You just have to know my dad to understand our frustration. He is a very play it by the book kind of guy. He is the guy that will wait until his cell phone battery is almost dead to charge it so that the battery won't be ruined. So our family always gets frustrated when we have to work with him. As we were finishing putting on the pool cover water started to get on the cover and he was freaking out because the cover was going to become heavy. However through it all we got the cover on and don't have to worry about it till next year. I love coffee :)
