We had a full house and they laughed.
Afterwards I talked for a few minutes with some of my friends, from Jef Johnson’s Clownlab, who came together to see the show.
One of the guys was quite impressed with all the female energy. He said he fell in love with all of the women and we’re all so different. It’s not something one sees on stage very often. (I Wish I’d seen “The Women” on Broadway.)
I didn’t start to feel nervous about the show until I was on the subway platform alone waiting for the train to take me into Manhattan.
Before that it was a regular mommy day. There was a publishing party in My Kid’s class. The Husband and I grabbed breakfast together at a diner after the classroom event and before The Husband went to his office. We had a chance to talk.
Then I came home and got some writing done. By the time I was finished it was almost time to go pick up My Kid from school. I got her Girl Scout vest, and then set it down again in my search for something else. I took My Kid and two friends to Girl Scouts and learned that the mother who had planned to be there as another adult had an emergency so I stayed. I had to leave before it was over to get something to eat because I hadn’t had lunch and I had planed to eat and go over my notes for the show while My Kid was at Girl Scouts.
After that was over, My Kid and I came home. I wouldn’t stop at the toy store or anywhere else because I needed to get home to get ready. We talked to a neighbor mommy and kid we hadn’t seen in a while just as we got to the house. I ended up taking a shower to wake up. Then I put on my makeup before I left because the dressing room at La MaMa is so cramped.
The Husband got home after seven and I left at 8:00pm for the 10 o’clock show.
When I returned home at 1:00 am, My Kid was asleep on the couch, still fully dressed. She had fallen asleep trying to wait up for me.
