Kaboom!

After an 8-year hiatus, I hit the slopes today. The last time I did this, I felt timid and out of control. Today, weirdly, I felt perfectly fine. I took a group lesson, and the instructor actually called me “aggressive.” In a good way. I told Maggie this and she was like: “What? You?”

I don’t get it either. Something’s changed in my internal skiing program.

The kids have been, in turn: cranky, hyper,, gleeful, angry, mopey, and deliciously fun to be with. Each child has had a crying jag, complained mightily, and had a total blast at Sugarbush. It’s been totally up and down. Such is life.

We just got back from a really neat fireworks display. Now, ice cream. Then, bed.

Love to all. Even you, the snowboarder who ran over my friend’s kid.

Thanks, Stephanie.

I'll swing by your blog when I'm back home and off dial-up. Otherwise, I'll throw my computer through a wall.
