Ah so post season blues... 4 weeks an counting away from the snow ... Killing me ! So bizzar not to be strapping led planks to my legs and sliding with gravity ... So some of you probably wonder what a ski instructor might do when they are home ... In my experience that is ;
1) washing . Mums are the best !
Washing is certainly something that regularly gets put off for activities such as 241's at the pub or 'epic pow skiing' or food shopping or infact any thing which didn't involve washing machines !
2) eat. Mums are the best x2 . Nothing beats a home cooked meal packed with veg, carbs an protein! Everything you have been avoiding for the past 5 months of your life and replacing with ready made fatty packed foods!
3) sleep. Jet lag.
In my experience I've found sleeping to be one of my most useful talents in life. It is something which I have certainly grown over the years and now have a depth of knowledge when it comes to beating the old jet lag but nothing works better than a cuppa and your own bed !
4) catchup . Friends from home. Real socialising !!
It's always odd coming back into the 21st century (ie using a phone again, wearing jeans rather than ski pants, not just discussing the side cut of the new skis on the market ...) coming home definitely challenges your social skills again !
5) pack . The next trip is never far away!
So I'm all ready to chill for he next 3weeks and then hit the alps, fit and fighting!
A very well rested, Aileen xx

Ronald Dr. Adelbert WilberGood luck with that one! There is so much required of Special Education thcaeers these days that I don't know if its possible to find a school that does case management exceptionally well . We all feel like Stretch-Armstrong dolls being stretched to our limits and drowning in a sea of bureaucracy. Our school, Frankfort High School, in Frankfort, Indiana, has been singled out as doing a pretty decent job in the past, but then they (the state) changed some of the rules and requirements for IEPs and now everybody is playing catch-up again. I know this doesn't help, but at least you get a description of the big picture from someone who is down in the trenches.
