For the moms who take care of the kids on the slopes, here's to you! For making sure everyone has the hats, goggles, ski pants, boots, etc. etc. they need. Dressing and undressing the kids. Assembling the lunches. Hauling the equipment. Harboring a secret stash of tissues/sun block/chap stick/energy bars for that unavoidable emergency. Accomodating multiple bathroom breaks and all the dressing and undressing that go with 'em. Providing encouraging words after a fall. Driving to and from the ski slopes. Attending ski races. Wiping noses. Wiping tears. Administering first aid. Putting on and removing boots/jackets/gloves/helmets. Making sure nothing gets left behind. Arranging ski lessons. Making sure the kids wear helmets.
And for the moms who ski, here's to you, too! For ripping it up on the slopes. For showing the men you've got what it takes. For providing a positive role model for your daughters And for living life to the fullest, instead of sitting on the sidelines out of concern for helmet hair/injury/cold temperatures/chapped lips/etc.
For all the moms, one and all -- and for my mom, who never skied and never will:
Happy Mothers Day! You're the best!
