Jon's family reunion to celebrate his grandmother's 90th birthday was this weekend. 78 people gathered at his parents' house- are you sensing the chaos? 29 of the people were under 10 yrs. old. Fortunately, several of the family units within the large family are childcare saints getting sippy cups, cleaning hands and faces, giving out snacks, taking kids potty, etc. Caroline couldn't bear to part with her 2nd cousins that she only sees once a year if that, and is spending the night at her MorMor's house for the 2nd time tonight.
I finished my sewing project for the most part this afternoon. I ran out of elastic, Margaret went to the store to buy more, and the store was out of elastic! So i need to locate 3/4" elastic somewhere in Atlanta tomorrow and put it in 24 pair of shorts. Why is one shorts called a pair of shorts? But the hems and waists are in, so that will be a quick task.
In other news, my sister bought a house- I went to go see it last night. Very great first house. I'm quite proud of Lou- she turns 24 this month. So in all my spare time I'm going to throw her a big house warming/birthday party.
I left my "in constant use for the last six years" diaper bag at the Capitol on Friday! Man, was I annoyed. Technically it was Jonathan's responsibility, and he took it off somewhere by the bathrooms (it's a black Lands End diaper bag backpack with our name monogramed to the front). I didn't realize the thing was gone until I was sitting on 75 at 4:30 that afternoon and asked for the backpack. By then it was too late to cross 8 lanes of standstill traffic and head back to the Capitol. I made a lot of phone calls as soon as I got home but to no avail. I'm hoping for better providence tomorrow! Plus, I had all this important information for a bill that I'm going to be working on so that's even more annoying. Sigh.
Off to bed....
