When it Rains it Pours

Crazy times around here, as usual.

In the last 4 or 5 days the following has happened:

I tore a ligament in my shoulder
Rodney's dad went into the hospital
Rodney's dad had surgery on his heart
Rodney nearly broke his toe

Oh. And I switched classrooms with another teacher and had to completely move and redo everything.

I totally missed Rylee's last swim class of this session today. I feel really badly about it too. I was at the school for close to 5 hours today - by the time I left I was so tired, Rylee hadn't had a nap and I had about 15 minutes to get home, get her changed and get her back to the swim school. Including the 10 minutes it would take to get home. I just couldn't do it. My shoulder was killing me at that point and all I wanted to do was lay on the couch. So, that's what I did.

The medication they gave me for my shoulder knocks me completely out too. I can really only take it when Rodney is home.

What else...

We've been totally nerding out on the show Las Vegas right now. We started with Season 1 and we're on the last disc (of Season 1) so far. I don't know why I like this show. It's not the most spectacular show in the world but ever since we came back from Vegas, I've been totally obsessed with it. I want to live there. Or, I at least want to go back very soon.

We leave for Colorado in 11 days. Yay! Hopefully my shoulder will be healed by then. I keep imagining myself landing on it how badly that will feel. Really, even if I fell and my head was knocked back a little --- well, it would hurt.

We're going to the FS show at HOB, which should be fun-ish. I'm pretty excited about hanging with the girls. It will definitely be entertaining!

Got a referral for a PT for Rylee. Just waiting to hear back from them on what to do next. (sigh)

Lost is back next week...The Office is back today! Yes!

PS - still working on my next class, details soon!

Guess someone's going to Colorado this year...

Well, we decided that Rylee will go to Winter Park with us this year. We ended up in Sun and Ski Sports last weekend (before we had decided if she was going or not) and left with a new ski suit and cute pink goggles. The 50% off sign made the decision for us.

She can't board until she's 6 but she'll learn to ski for now!

We're here in Winter Park. It's beautiful. Here are some pictures so far...

Our flight was delayed an hour





THIS is our room. We opted for a mountain view room this year and all I can say is... WORTH IT. These were taken from our porch.





To the right of our porch are the ski shops and the Zephyr Express (one of the main lifts at the resort) and to the left are the two hot tubs for this building! This is our third time here and this room is definitely the best.

First run of the day





It snowed 4 inches last night and I'm pretty sure another 4 today. The powder was amazing. We all had good runs. I even tackled the infamous Village Way. I haven't tried that one since the first trip up here. I did really well though and we did that run twice this afternoon. I think we're going to attempt a few more blues tomorrow. We did one today and some of the harder greens, to get back in the "groove."

Rodney's snow face (he's not shaving until we come home)




And snow angel outside our room




I love Winter Park and after watching all of the tiny babies in their lessons today, I cannot wait to bring Rylee next year. She'll love it.
