Chocolate Chip Cookies for a Late Night

--by tressyanne, posted Jan 25, 2009

I had quite a long night last night waiting around to get Direct TV high definition installed. The man didn't show up until 8 pm last night and when he got to our house he looked ragged and worn out. I asked him if it had been a long day and he said yes and that it was going to be a long night.

He was running about 4 hours late when he got to our house and just looked so tired. We have had satelite for 15 years , but just bought a new TV over the weekend, so of course that meant we now had to have high def.

While the man was working we had my son's ball team over for practice since 6 at our house and three boys stayed over while their parents talked to my husband. I made everyone a batch of spaghetti and fed the boys. While the Direct TV man was still working I decided to make some homemade chocolate chip cookies for him.

After he was all done I bagged up the cookies and a couple of water bottles and sent him home with them. You could tell that had made his day. He didn't leave our house until 10:30 pm or so and he said he had the worst day in a long time.

I know that he smiled when he got into his truck. That made the late night all worth while.
