Fabulous fire family dinner!

Ass o'clock to 1 p.m. - work at diner
1:45 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. - homework and cleaning
5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. - shower and get dressed for dinner, do hair in pigtail braids, decide it looks lopsided, just use headband instead
6:05 p.m. - go to fire family home
6:30 p.m. - know it's going to be a good night when offered italian pastries before dinner even starts, eat rainbow cookie
6:32 p.m. - scoop jaw up off the ground when two huge black garbage bags of clothes are hauled in front of Danielle
6:34 p.m. - regain composure, say thank you, drop to knees with sisters and start digging through bag closest to me
6:35 p.m. - listen to Alex shriek over Ed Hardy clothing with tags in her size
6:37 p.m. - find beautiful Ralph Lauren dress that may fit me
6:48 p.m. - get yelled at to come sit down and eat already
6:52 p.m. - listen to Topher stories while checking on bags of clothes to make sure they don't grow legs and walk away from us
7:24 p.m. - eat one more meatball because they're so good even though I'm full
7:31 p.m. - listen as Alex whispers in my ear wondering if she's too old to get away with asking if we can take some leftovers home. sadly say yes, it is the end of an era
7:53 p.m. - groan as huge plate of pasticiotto, bocconotti, and cannoli is brought out
8:26 p.m. - decide we need to get home as I look at Danielle laying in recliner with a cat on her lap
8:30 p.m. - help bring dishes into the kitchen and start washing as Alex brings more and more from dining room
8:38 p.m. - hear front door open and close a couple of times, wonder what's going on but can't see from kitchen sink, wash faster
8:39 p.m. - accidentally bang plate against edge of sink in haste to rush through dishes, make sure it's not chipped, decide to slow down
8:44 p.m. - finished with dishes, wander into living room to find garbage bags and Danielle gone, wonder if she's run off with our clothes
8:46 p.m. - get told we are being driven home since there is too much to carry on trains!
8:49 p.m. - after hugs, kisses and thank yous, we are given leftovers complete with dessert (!), and packed into a car to go home
9:21 p.m. - resist huge urge to go through new clothes and instead drag Alex out of living room and tell her to go to bed

After school/work tomorrow we are all three definitely going through the bags of clothes. I am so excited - these all look really new and they're folded nicely and don't smell at all! Best Sunday night dinner in ages. Think I died and went to meatball heaven. I am so happy there are more to eat tomorrow.
