[quote=Anonymous]It's hard, OP.  My DH and I map all the days off onto our calendar before the school year starts (they usually confirm/release the calendar sometime in August).

We figure out what will work.  We both do get Columbus Day off, but neither of us gets Veterans Day.  So one of us plans to take that.  The two days in October & the two days in March are sometimes an issue.  Usually one of us can swing taking off the day before Thanksgiving.

We did use Lola's Lab once last year (for a day).  It was fine; DD would have preferred to be at home, but she lived with it.  (She was in K then)

I've seen other options for days that schools are closed - someone in Arlington does a little cooking school for kids, there are some theater/art/sports stuff you can find.  But, of course, it's $$$$$.

I"m hoping, as DD gets older, we can sometimes schedule a playdate for all or part of the day.  I've made friends with a few of the other moms at her school and some of them are SAH (and sympathetic to those of us who WOH).  Or I also think maybe we could do something reciprocal w/another family with two working parents.

Hope this helps.[/quote]
