In our family, we have a history of celebrating birthday MONTHS. It started with my step-mom whose birthday is the 31st of December. She didn't do dishes in Dec, cause it was her birthday month. LOL.
So, we have a great time celebrating. For me this year, it was for more than a week and I am petrified to get on the scale cause I am telling you I ate my way to and thru 43. It was awesome.
My sister and my niece flew in from Colorado and there was no shortage of opening presents, eating lobster and just having a great time.
Joshy and his cuzin Amanda thoroughly enjoyed each other and I had the BEST birthday in a LONG time.
Now to put all of my goodies away and hope to lose a few lbs.
Enjoying a peacefully quiet moment while my boyz are at Home Depot so trying to catch up on some "stuff'.
Enjoy your SUnday all.

Father's Day
A Happy Father's Day to my hubby....he is a fantastic father and deserves to have a gr-8 day.
Father's Day is typically not the easiest day of the year for me.....but for some reason this year, I am feeling a bit more upbeat. Today I will do my best to stay that way and remember an amazing man who taught me so very much.
Happy Father's Day to my daddy-o, Dennis Stephen Tinsky: Feb 19, 1940-January 27, 2004
I am quite certain that he is smokin' a stogie up there, raising HELL in heaven and eating well thanks to Uncle Bill.
You taught me so many lessons in my 37 years and I hope that although you are not here to see it all, that you realize I learned it all from ya(both the good and the bad) and that I continue to make you proud.
Happy Father's Day to all the daddy's out there. You deserve to be celebrated this fine sunny Sunday afternoon.

wrappin it up
With the walks all complete and the deadline for turning in funds raised for the walks......the complete wrap up has begun.I am thrilled and delighted to share with you some very impt information:My personal goal this year was to raise $5000 and with the help of numerous people, I exceeded that goal.
Goal:$5,000.00Achieved:$5,867.80I
NCREDIBLE.
Not only that, but I am number 3 fundraiser in the Mid-Florida Chapter(23 counties). Hooooray.I could never have achieved and surpassed this goal without you all so a HUGE thanx to each and every one who contributed anything to the cause.
Over 4,600 walkers and more than 400 volunteers registered for the 2010 Walk MS events and raised over $490,000. Funds raised through Walk MS are used to support research helping to find a cure for multiple sclerosis as well as support programs and services that enhance the lives of over 70,000 people affected by multiple sclerosis in Central Florida. It is because of caring, dedicated members of our community, like you, that we are able to continue to fight for a world free of MS. I am so very proud to be a part of all of this.
Being diagnosed over 5 years ago and going for my yearly MRI tomorrow-I have NO symptoms and I feel very enthusiastic that the meds I take are during their job to slow the progression of my form of the disease. However, it is for the thousands of others not so fortunate that I find the energy and passion to continue to do what I do.I am still deciding on the ms crop 4 hope this year. After some of the fall out of last year's event, i am not certain that I have the energy necessary to do it myself, but my tush and then be stabbed in the gut with some of the backlash.When I look at these kinds of totals though and realize how very impt my fundraising efforts are to the Mid-Florida Chapter, how can I really stop doing it? I can't . But, I do need to re-evaluate the process and where and what Iam going to do, cause if you know me. #3 is NOT good enough. Team Durning/Captain Jax will be number one someday soon so that others can benefit.
Scrappy Hugs,
Captain Jax

summer colds
well it isn't quite summer just yet, although the thermometer could def. prove otherwise.....it is HOT, humid and the air is damp and oh so heavy. the temps are like those that remind you to be VERY thankful for working air conditioning and thankfully, that is now what we have.
of course, being me, i can NOT just get a cold...oh no. I have been down and out for nearly a week now with two ear infections, sore throat, and a stuffed nose like I am glad to only have a couple of times per year. I took my last antibiotic today so hoping that my ears will start to pop SOON. I can finally swallow and breath although I do resemble a reindeer whose name begins with the letter "R".
This morning was my baby's VPK graduation. The Music Room at Panda Hugs was PACKED. I am pretty darn certain that there was not a seat to be had in there. We were front and center, video cameras, dslr's in hand and tissues in the other. I have NOT cried like that well, since Daddy died and let me tell you, I CRIED.
They say when you have those lil babes to enjoy them while they are young cause it goes by so quickly. Well, it does!!
He will begin summer camp on Monday and Kindergarten in August........my baby will ALWAYS be MY baby, but he never fails to remind me that HIS spray(to make him grow) definitely outworked my spray(to help him to remain little).
I am so very proud of his accomplishments and how much he learned in pre-k this year. Thank you to Ms. Vicky, Ms. Ericka and Ms. Maria for embracing my baby and making him into a little man.
I could have done without all the tears, but I think that I will miss hearing those sweet little voices calling, "Ms. Jackie, Ms. Jackie" as much as he will miss his lil buddies at Panda Hugs!!
