Great story.<br/><br/>Many of my friends send their kids to Mother's Day Out? And I told all of them that I didn't need it because my stepdaughters give me a Mother's Afternoon Out every day (which is true, because Baby wants to hang out with them for an hour or two when they get home every afternoon)? But the real reason that I don't use Mother's Day Out is...<br/><br/>I could never afford it. *sigh* <br/><br/>Which is why I should be selling Arbonne or something, right? ;) Ha ha! Great story.

It's for the Mommies like me, you know the one's who don't want to lose their minds? Oh, and I guess the socialization with other pre-schoolers is good too...<br/><br/>Mom's around here become deeply defensive when I say stuff like this, but really, who are we kidding? But I guess it's easier to rationalize that great big 'ol monthly check that goes out...you know, if it's for their babies education...no cost is too great!;) I’m new to reading your blog, and am loving your stories.

This is very funny to me, because my daughter has recently taken to showing me how well she counts in Spanish by counting up to 14 ALL THE TIME. Why 14? I dunno. But listening to her count up to 14 for the umpteenth hundred time today? It made my head feel like that pinata. Ole!

What a crock!<br/><br/>Now let me get this straight. This is a place where kids get to learn about where candy comes from (Jesus's friend Spongebob Squarepants) while moms go to all day happy hour? Did I get that right?<br/><br/>You're right -- either you need to move by me or I need to move by you! We can throw all of our kids into this heaven on earth place called MDO and get our margarita on! I need to do a search for some MDOs around here, but I don’t think they have them. What a crock!
