Flaming June's Love

My date of birth, 47 years ago today I came into this world, to my Mom and Dad.  After three boys in 6years.... This bundle of pink was a pleasant surprise. Today was an excellent day.  It was Jacks last day of FIRST GRADE.  After the trials and tribulations, WE MADE IT THROUGH. I would say it was an80% -20% year.  The majority-unremarkable and quit tolerable..  But that 20!!! He certainly had his tough days.   Which in turn were my tough days. BUT here we are report card of all Bs and Bplus's... We are happy, satisfied and ready to wind down for the summer. No camp for Jack this year, we are doing the Mommy Jack and friends summer plan.!!

How is it that I am the one with 8 years post bypass heart surgery, poor cardiac output, high risk for repeat fatal MI, and I am the fattest one here>?
