Last Entry: A Week in the Life of an Urban Abbess

(Last) Friday

• I do not get up to walk at 6am due to staying up ‘til midnight catching up w/hubby after ThPM guest have left. (Oh yeah, you. I remember you!)

• Drop children off at school. Go to yoga!!!!! Substitute instructor elongates the last letter of each word (feel your breatthhhhhhh…) V. annoying. But, she understands what level of workout people need on TGIF. Really mean it when saying “Namaste” and bowing to instructor after class.

• Pick up younger child at school. Meet Jen (ThPMer) for afternoon of girl time while her three-year-old is at preschool. Try to catch up on “deep stuff” while younger child eats either 1)macaroni and cheese w/food coloring and hydrogenated oil or 2) a cupcake from coffee shop w/sugar grams roughly equal to said child’s body weight.

• Meet elder child and busmate at bus. Talk with busmate (Alyssa) about her first-ever overnight campout with the school. Do normal afterschool stuff.

• Make boboli pizza for dinner. (Children are happy.) Put kiddos to bed. Cancel Art House Friday due to exhaustion. Watch Joan of Arcadia (what if God was one of us?) and previously taped season premier of West Wing. (Bartlett for President!) Sleep.
