Daily Diary

Yesterday afternoon I dropped the six kids off at Margaret's where large quantities of the Jones prodigy were still hanging out. Curtis took care of Vivian, Margaret watched Gabriel, and the other four were given over to "general population" where they are observed in a general way but capable of taking care of themselves for the most part. I made a quick zip over to the Capitol where joy of joys, the security guard at the handicapped entrance remembered me, had found my backpack and had it safely stowed in the Security guard office. I was immensely relieved and grateful. Even my water bottle was still in the side pocked. The guard said he had noticed it soon after we left. Unfortunately, we couldn't discover this via phone though Bobby and I both made a number of phone calls about it. I'm glad that I decided to go down there and check things out for myself.
We had dinner at Jon's parents house last night. i'm not sure how many people had dinner- I think close to 40, if not more. I can tell you it was incredible chaos due to all the little people. Vivian went to bed right before dinner and stayed asleep until we left. Gabriel had the occasional melt down if a family member told him what to do- but other than that, our crew was self-sufficient. We didn't get home until late.
Tonight we are celebrating Passover. I'm making a "quick" trip to Harry's to get a few things including the ingredients for Gefilte fish. My recipe for it is wonderful- nothing like the nasty jarred stuff Publix sells. Yak! Maybe I should post the recipe.
