do you have any saturday programs?

yes - why yes we do - we have ONE program from 9 to 9:45AM. great.

okay, just a small rant. why is it that most of the fun activities for us aren't available on the weekends? no mommy and me yoga, daddy and daughter music time, etc. i don't think it's done on purpose, just unthoughtful. there must be things that are open on the weekends that are just as much fun as the things I did while on maternity leave in the middle of the day. oh, the glorious days of maternity leave. i was a lady that lunched (while nursing of course), but damn it, i lunched. i digress. many will say - there are plenty of things to do...we'll see. No, i don't think it's a conspiracy against out of the house working mommies. i just want a couple of extracurricular things on the weekends. is that too much to ask?
