Happy Turkey Day everyone!!

Thanks for checking in 25!!

I have not spoken a lot about my family here.. So what better time than the present!!

I will respond to the second post later today or tomorrow.

I spent 7 hours in the car yesterday with D16 driving up to the mountains to spend the Holliday with my family. It was a good bonding experience for D16 and I. S14 chose to stay home with his mom, and we will miss him, but it was a great opportunity for D16 and I to bond in the car. And since she drives now, we were able to split the load.

17 family member will be crowding into our vacation home for the Holiday this year. I have a great family. I am the only one divorced in my family. My parents have been married 53 years and are still going strong; my maternal grandparents made it 70 years (living a long life helps!!)

Both kids will be with me for Christmas this year and we will be in the mountains again. Hopefully there will be more snow and we can vein in some skiing and boarding.

I have both my kids from my first M every other week and we have a great relationship. We typically do one outing each time I have them. Last weekend we went to see the new hunger games movie.

I do the typical parent stuff. I helped coach little league, i try and stay involved. Two years ago w and I were in charge of my kid's schools major event.

When w left, she completely cut off my entire family. My kids are a little bitter about it and we would all need to go to counseling if out relationship were to ever R. Only my sister has attempted to remain in contact with W with little success.
