It ain't over till it's over

Stopped from the snow by the snow. How ironic. British Airways cancel the Philadelphia flight and can't tell us when we'll be able to leave. In the light of this uncertainty, Back-Up cancel the trip. Next chance to go skiing in Colorado? 2010. And that's assuming I can get away from my full time PGCE. I'm so upset. It's taken a lot of organisation to be able to go: saving the cash (selling books and DVDs on Amazon), sorting the childcare, getting fit (well, slightly), finding the gear. I'm home now and the kids are thrilled. I'm warmed by their love and touched by Annika's sadness for my missed adventure. Griffin suggests using the money saved to go on a Easter family trip to France. Brilliant idea. I'll start planning tomorrow. But at this moment, now that I've re-organised childcare for the next couple of days, I'm just going to allow myself to feel sad.
