The Husband took My Kid to school in Brooklyn Heights on his way to his office at Rockefeller Center.  After the cleaning lady arrived at the apartment my old clown college roomate  and I went out for coffee.  She’s New York for a production meeting.  We had time for breakfast at Junior’s before she got [...]

I don’t know what kind of clown thing I did in the studio yesterday both of my calves have hurt all day.
A neighbor had a class so I took her kid along with mine to the Scholastic Store in Soho and then the Apple Mac store in Soho and then Kidrobot in Soho.  Then we [...]

This morning after an appointment in Brooklyn Heights, My Kid and I ran into some neighbors who had just been to the dentist.  They were on their way to Greenwich Village to see Click Clack Moo at the Lucille Lortel theater on Christopher Street.  Since it was free with tickets distributed an hour before curtain, we went [...]

Our home is not large.  Rain is pouring outside.   My daughter has a friend over and she has decided she would like to play in the front living-dining-media-play-room part of the apartment.  So I am relegated to the back bedroom half of the apartment which is fine with me.  I’m listening NPR and writing [...]

By Saturday I was so exhausted I was afraid I would forget to show up for my own performance in “Clownical Trials” at Theatrelab. It has been a very long week.

My Kid had a field trip to the American Museum of Natural History. Robotics Team checking out the Global Warming special exhibit. Kid back to school with her team, I walk down Central Park West. Grandstands being erected for Thanksgiving Day Parade. Cold grey rainy birthday again–no wonder I went crazy producing [...]

I didn’t leave the apartment yesterday until 2:30 when I went to pick up My Kid from school. My day is over before everyone at the office has even returned from lunch.
As is my wont, I told myself I was going to go to the gym, but first I would do a few things [...]

I am exhausted and completely frustrated and my head hurts from clenching my jaw because My Kid did not go to school today. The lines were drawn and I lost the battle. She stayed up too late after we got home from the barbecue in New Jersey and I don’t know what happened [...]

Thank goodness today’s scheduled group Mommy Camp was cancelled because I am exhausted and I have to work the Macy’s Fireworks VIP audience tonight.
We decided on the way home from Coney Island yesterday afternoon that we did not need to get up early today and rush to the Painted Pot to decorate knickknacks in yet [...]
