On Friday I took my bags of costumes with me to drop-off at My Kid’s school because from there I went straight to rehearsal. After rehearsal and went right back to My Kid’s school. Dismissal was over and the woman with whom I’d made previous arrangements to pick up my kid after school along with her own was already on the way to the park. I caught up with them there and sat on a bench and talked to the other mother while the girls practiced their cartwheels and walked around the ball field pretending they were unsupervised.
On Saturday I dropped my bags of costumes off at the apartment and went directly to the soccer fields by Prospect Park to stand in the rain and watch my daughter and her soaked to the skin teammates run around on a field of fake grass and ground up bits of rubber. The fall season is already half over and this was the first game I’ve seen.
It is now Sunday morning. I am preparing to awaken my daughter and take her to church because today is the first day of the new school year of religious education. I will drop her off on my way to rehearsal and The Husband will pick her up.
