June 22-- When I was a kid, what did I want to be when I grew up?

When I was little I want to grow up and be a fashion designer. I had a sketch book full a drawing of clothes and all sorts of ideas of stuff I wanted to make. Even in High School I took Home Ec and learned to sew. After H.S. I was unable to go to the College of my choice so I got a job and went to college part time. From time to time I use to make my own clothes and I worked at a fabric store for a couple years. I dont know what I could of done with what I learned while working there, but I got pregnant with my daughter and moved on to a different job w/better hours and insurance.  And now I see clothes especially dresses and think I could have created that.

Easter Sunday

Easter Morning started out with my kids looking for their Easter basket (which I completely forgot to take a pic of) and then of course going through everything to see. Along with the candy Chatty got a book she can write and illustrate and a Barbie doll, the Beast got a movie and an umbrella (that can be a separate post). So realizing it’s a busy day my Beast was in everyone’s way whining and bugging so I decide to run to the store. I find it so weird that stores are open on Easter when everyone should be celebrating with their family. But we get ready to leave and Reid just goes outside, while I’m trying to get my purse. I go outside to get him. I CANT FIND HIM!!! He isn’t in the front yard, my driveway, my grandma’s drive way. GONE!!! I’m yelling for him and of course I realize I leave my phone inside, go back inside yell to my dad that I can’t find Reid and grab my phone. I’m going back to my Grandma’s where my car is parked and with my Dad right behind me all of a sudden my dad says “brake lights” My Beast is sitting in the drivers seat of my car hitting the breaks. I open the door and grab him; I told him he gave me a heart attack since I couldn’t find him. Sweetly his reply was “Sorry mommy, I drive??” I put him in his car seat and buckle him tight, I have to sit and take a moment to let my heart stop running wild. I was so scared and he thinks nothing of it. After the store we head to my Grandma’s for Easter dinner and an egg hunt. The kids had a blast! It was a great day besides having a heart attack in the morning.

Disney on Ice

I took Chatty to see Disney on Ice on 2/11/2012. Her father came with to drive (lets just say I was reminded why I left him) The show was great. It started with lunch from McDonalds. At the show the first thing you walk in and see was all this great Disney stuff to buy. I was shocked at first when Chatty told me she didnt want anything. Of course that did not last long. She first picked Rapunzel hair. She got the hair and since my Beast was left at home, he was bought a sword to play with. Of course half way through the show she wanted a light up wand. I agreed since her dad was buying :) The show included Princess Tiana, Cinderella, and Rapunzel. Of course Chatty's favorite was Rapunzel. I completely agreed since she was spinning in the air from her hair. She had a good time at the show and so did I. I love taking her to see stuff like this. She loves it and I do too :)
We ended the night at Cracker Barrel one of her favorite places to go. I know why :) she loves to look at the shop. Of course she wants tons more stuff. But she already got enough so home we went.
I do hope that next time Disney on Ice comes around we can go, maybe by then my Beast can come with us. Of course we will leave their father at home.
