MY Birth day!

-
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.!!
We ar going to swim at the FF pool, we are going to visit our Nanas pool take day trips to cool adventure places and enjoy each others company.
Today was a great day- My birthday, the last day of school and the school trip to Knoebles grove.
Jack loved it, he was a great boy and we LOVED watching him interact with his friends.
They like him, they want to be with him and for that,
my BIRTHDAY WISHES have come true.
To know others see the greatness in our boy is beyond words.
attached is a pic of Jack and his two best friends Michael and Louis.
I love these two boys, and LOVE how they all care for one another.
Thank you for the birthday wishes.
I am the luckiest girl on the west side tonight.

  It has been 75 days. When I went to bed at night I would cry, every night.  My Mom would begin the process of "bedtime" at least 30 minutes before I actually had to go to my room.  She would give me the countdown. "Next commercial break"  "Ten more minutes"  "Go get your last drink of water" Some nights she would begin to doze and I would squeeze another 10 minutes until the dreaded bed time. Then began the process.  We would go to my room, which was only 12 feet from the living room in all actuality, but it was miles in my little girl heart.  Mom would pull down the covers, tuck me in, give me all of my comfort things and then I would cry.  The more she tried to make me comfortable with the thought of sleeping, alone, the harder I would cry.  If she would just say go to bed, it would have been easier. We would say my prayers together, Our Father, Hail Mary and then all of the God Bless's. The God Blesses were my definite way to get her to ...

 When I was in High School my best friend was Amy.  I don't remember how we met or where, but somehow we just clicked.  I believe it was probably on the patio where in the 1980's you could go outside and smoke cigarettes with your friends on free mods or breaks.  Yep those were the days.   We were in 10th grade which made us 15.  I smoked Parliament light 100's  with the recessed filters (IYKYK) and she smoked Benson and Hedges.  She was a cheerleader that was so far from the "cheerleader" type it would crack us up.  We wrote notes in those days, scraps of paper that we would purge our daily trials onto, fold in some triangular football shape and pass to one another in the hall.  We could fill a note throughout the day and then I would throw it into a box for the ages to find someday.  We were able to talk endlessly about music, people, boyfriends, animals, school, college, parents, divorce, siblings, hours of chat.  We al...

 Lets talk about graduation parties!  Should I order the chicken scampi or marsala for the chicken dish?  Cakes and cupcakes or cookies?  DJ or photo booth or both? So we decorate the cake with Wyoming Seminary as a graduate or Penn State as his college destination? No, we wont talk about that.  You know, the "drophimoffandleavehimtherepart" or the "Ihaveabsolutelynopurposewithouthiminmydailygrind" lets not forget "Whenyoufoughttoliveforthisboyandnowheisgoingwhylive?" OK OK I'm not going to end my life because Jack is leaving for college, but for christs sake what the fuck is my purpose now?  I am struggling, struggling with so many things right now. I know my struggle on paper is nothing compared to so many other people.  My weight, my hair, my boy, my heart, my future.  I want to just get to the point where I can just take him and drop him off.  Rush through this summer and get it over with, pull off the bandaid quick and start the new chap...
