Definition: One who tries to snowboard way past her prime, with no clear recollection of how to carve, having not set foot on a ski slope since before her children were born. She also may be sporting snow gear from the 90's.
Can you use that in a sentence please? "Whoa! That snowboard mom should probably quit while she's ahead, with no broken limbs." Or, "That snowboard mom should probably head back to the lodge, grab her Kindle, set up camp in the infant daycare room, and pump for her babies."
Pretty accurate.
I did last a few hours before I had to pump. But, I have to admit, I was kind of glad for an excuse to take a break. Mother Nature has toned down my fearlessness since the last time I went snowboarding, over 5 years ago. In that time, I seem to have slipped from blue back to green in my ability level. That's okay, though. There's something about returning from Tahoe with a broken bone and attempting to care for the kids that's slightly unappealing.
So, when this snowboard mom tries again tomorrow, I'll stick to green for as long as I can, and then head back in when my Kindle and borrowed breast pump call my name.
Oh, did I mention we don't have any kids with us in Tahoe for three days? No matter what happens on the slopes, that's Heavenly!

too funny! Enjoy! Where are the little folks?
My mom's watching the girls, with help from my Aunt Loretta and Sara! They're in good hands :)
GOOD FOR YOU!!!! Enjoy the break!
I'm glad it was you that broke in my snowboard... I think I would have been an even bigger wuss, and would have hightailed it to the lodge with my Kindle even faster!
Im so glad you and Matt got away and had some much needed alone time. With this little one arriving in the next few weeks it will be a LONG while before Kyle and I can escape and pretend its just the two of us. :)
