We managed the sink crisis and the various child crises and got a decent dinner on the table pretty much all at once! Then E wanted to sleepnurse for a while so by the time I got there the food was cold and everyone else was done, except for U, who was having bottom troubles and wanted to sit in my lap.

One of the neighbors-- m's friend's grandfather-- was home by himself, as it turned out. We gave him a big plate of food and then he came over for pie too. I feel pretty good about that-- the best part, really-- to me that is what Thanksgiving is about and I don't get a chance to actually help people who really could use it on the day itself.
