It was a busy day of staying on track so that I could be at the theatre by 5:30 pm for the pick-up rehearsal.  I ran some errands after morning school drop-off.  Then I went home and did the dishes and some other things.  I took a shower and got ready for the show.  Then I went to the school and picked up My Kid and stood on the playground while she played, before I walked her over to Girl Scouts with her friends.  I picked her up after school instead of calling on another mother to do it.  Even though it’s a waste of time because there is only half an hour between school and Girl Scouts and we routinely take each others kids–I wanted to see My Kid.  The performance tonight is at 10 pm so once again I will not be there to tuck her in.  Last week was hard with tech week rehearsals and then the performances and then this week I spent three evenings at Jef Johnson’s Clownlab.  My Kid has been feeling my absence.
