Tic Toc Lost

So the best of things are always started with good intentions right? I was soo excited I found my blog, so eager to start posting (regularly) and *fizz* *pop* that’s it??? After only two entries!! No no no….I will not give up that easy and of course I have an excuse. (Isn’t that handy) Really though I do! You see my computer is not working so I can’t post at home. I will try now to make more of an effort to post from work…plus it makes sense to do it from work…blogging is not eating into my relaxing on the couch play video games or watch a movie time! Great plan I know…only took me a few weeks to think of it. Sorry I am slow I have a lot of on my mind! (See how easy excuses are to make)

Now…what to write?? Do you want to know about my day to day life (you as in April since she is the only one that reads this lol) or my inner secret thoughts and dreams and regrets and hopes?? I know! You want the juicy stuff!! Lol I honestly don’t know what you will get. Writing is like painting or my songs that I make up…I don’t know what is going to come out…it just happens. I once described my painting as being possessed and honestly that is how all of it feels. It just happens…I don’t think about it first. My fingers start typing and ohhh look I wrote a story….I start singing and wow that was a cool song (mostly I say “what did I just say” lol cause I don’t know what came out of my mouth) Painting is the same, I don’t think about what I am going to paint and my hands start moving and next thing I know I am done. I love it but it is truly a strange state to be in.


I will start with this weekend and what went down. Firstly it was Friday!! Yeah the way most weekends start. (Except for next since I have Friday off hehe) hmmmm…so what did I do Friday??? Ohhh yes I made dinner I remember that…and then gave Evelynn a bath and played Barbie’s!! Hehehe I remember when I was little and I used to bug my mom to play Barbie’s with me. I used to get sooo mad that she wouldn’t play whenever I wanted. I swore up and down that once I became a Mommy I would play Barbie’s with my daughter whenever she wanted! How the roles change. Evelynn gets mad cause it seems I never have the time to play with her whenever she wants. Mommy has to cook, or clean or pack lunches or fold laundry. No Barbie’s whenever she wants, but I do try and she gets Barbie’s with Mommy whenever I can. Let me tell you though that Barbie’s are not as fun to play with as I remember.

Saturday morning was Evelynn’s dance class. She is taking tap, ballet and hip hop. It is extremely cute to see all the little girls dancing and trying to keep up with the teacher. I couldn’t keep up so you can imagine five year olds trying. Poor Evelynn has inherited my coordination. Hehehe I am sure it will improve but honestly I have no rhythm so why would I expect my daughter to. She has fun and enjoys doing it and that is all that matters. Also maybe since she has gotten into it so young she will learn coordination?? Maybe…cause really that can’t be inherited right??

She can’t inherit a clumsy gene can she? Point is, too cute; hurt my cheeks smiling with pride and her dancing her heart out without a care in the world.

Straight after dance we drive to Grimsby to see Matt’s Dad and have dinner with him. Had a nice visit. Evelynn said that he made the best spaghetti she has ever had! She was learning how to play chess which amazed me since she was doing well. I don’t even know how to play and I am sure she could kick my butt! Is it pathetic that my five year old can teach me how to play chess??

After dinner we went to Matt’s Mom’s house. Evelynn had a late night playing with the kids and us adults had a good laugh playing a board game. We played a new one that we got called Identity Crisis; it is a lot of fun!

Sunday I was co-hosting a baby shower for my sister in-law. Everyone had a great time and my new nephew James slept through the whole thing being passed around from lady to lady.

I don’t know why I was laughing in my head at all the ladies wanting to hold the little guy. I guess because it is so predictable or stereotypical. Lol! But it is true! They all flock (including myself) drooling and itching to hold the little baby. We all stare at the little feet and little hands remembering our own and trying hard to imagine they were that small again (which is odd since when they are that small I couldn’t wait for her to get as big as she is now) It was a good time and all the ladies had fun. I think I made my mother-in-law proud as she kept telling all the ladies it was all my plans hehe.

I hope this weekend coming is a little more relaxing and I am looking forward to just being at home. We are on the road a lot and to me nothing is better then being at home. It is hard when family live so far apart from each other.

That is all for now and to be honest I think I did a good job! Let’s see what tomorrow will bring.
