we're back(vent and a pic ho! all at once!)
from utah. we had a really good time(seriously, thats not even sarcastic)!!!!!
(warning, vent ahead)
SO and stepdaughter did not go........all because stepdaughter and ds were playing tag and stepdaughter fell down. apparently my 30 pound kid pushed 80 pound stepdaughter down- even though she later said he didn't push her, she fell. SO said all ds does is lie and bully her....please. anyhow, we all know how this story goes since its the same shit i vent about all the time.
for another vent- my mom called me while i was in utah. she wanted one of my older brothers to drive back to phoenix with me, because we all know girls can't drive for 7 hours alone. this wouldn't have been a problem, but it was my brother who molested me for 9 months when i was 12. i don't really talk to him, i don't want to. i know he was only 15 when it happened and i've forgiven his actions, but i'm not over it. the last thing i want is to be in a car alone with him and my kids for 7 hours. so i called my mom and told her i would be driving back without him. her response? "get over it amanda, its not a big deal. he's your brother. just get over it already". it was all i could do to hang up on her without giving her a big "fuck you".
anyhow- ho time:

Stella looks like the giant that visited snowman world!
Your kids look like they had a blast!
I'm so glad your kids enjoyed the snow. These pictures make me smile.
Sorry about SO and your Mom though. Glad you didn't let them ruin your time.
love the snowy fun!

It never ceasers to amaze me when people, especially people close to you, in particular parents, tell you to "GET OVER" trauma. WTF?!?!?!
*grrrr*
I'd really like to know what the psychological issue is that keep people from having a heart.
I'm sorry to hear this happned mama, but I'm glad you had fun with your beautiful kids and that you stuck up for yourself without lashing out!

and I like your eyebrows!
your son reminds me of mine, they would have a blast together 
OMG you're the cutest girl ever! I love the pic of your little boy crossing his eyes. My son does that kinda face all the time.
He is so cute! Thx for posting!

I hate it when other people tell you when you should get over something. Fuck that. You did exactly right by hanging up (I support not saying "fuck you", altho' it would have prolly felt good).
Your pics make me want to roadtrip with just my kids. Looks very sweet.

snowy fun is the best at that age, heck at any age really.
Second I just can't beleive she fricking said that! With a similar situation I sympathize ALOT! If you are civil to your brother and don't scream at him every time you see him i think you have gotten over it. My way of getting over it was not talking to mine for 10 years. That's pretty heartless, no dam way would I drive for 7 hours with him! what the hell for? what would you talk about? omg.
as for SO that sounds pretty shitty too.
But glad you had fun anyways, and thanks for sharing the fun pics.
You are all gorgeous.
*bliss*
beautiful family mama, sorry about the shitty other stuff, both mom situation and SO seems utterly ridiculous to me. I'm glad you had fun anyway though!
Now your mom? She must be in serious denial and saying shit like that is how she protects her own part in it! (actually, that's a presumptuous comment I really don't know her place in the whole matter, but my first impulse)
Let's see, drive seven hours with bro who sexually abused you or alone with kids? THAT's a tough one! Good choice mama!
.
great pics mama. sorry about the other bs. you don't need to get over anything mama I wouldn't have let him ride with me either.
