About Me

September 9, 2009 Well, life continues to march along with plenty of bumps. The metal bar supporting my son's pectus repair shifted it's position requiring out-patient surgery to remove it. The bones in his chest will remain unstable for the next couple of months. His chest has already sunk a little. Fortunately, our school district has a Home Bound service which means a teacher will come to our home for his classes. So, for the next 8 weeks, I will have my 11 year old home with me. Ahhhhh.....Life!

July 18, 2009 On Thursday July 16, my 11 year old son is home from Childrens Hospital from having heart surgery & pectus repair (for a sunken chest) June 22 and getting over complications of it! YeS! Praise God!!!!

My name is April. I am 46 years old and live in the Midwest about 30 minutes west of St. Louis, MO. I have three kids, 22, 19 and 11 (two girls and a boy in that order!) I'm a homemaker. I have a passion for art, humor, my family and animals.

Favorite Music

Jason Mraz, Katie Perry, Taylor Swift, some 80's stuff

Favorite Books

art books, solar power books, farm books, gardening, craft books, Bible...

Favorite Movies

Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, E.T., Young Frankenstein, Office Space, Napoleon Dynamite, Juno, Super Bad, Twilight, Left Behind Series, Joe Dirt...

Favorite Television

HGTV, Style Network, FOX & Friends, Nancy Grace and my local news station St. Louis Fox 2 News Morning show

Favorite Crafts

acrylic paints, watercolor paints, pencil drawings, clay, some craft sewing, glass fusing, pmc clay, cake decorating as hobby

Other Activities that Consume

We live on three acres. I have one goat, nine chickens, started with three finches, now have six! I have a puppy mill rescue Pomeranian named Starbucks. In the summer, I like to plant flowers and a veggie garden. I have a small beach in my backyard with a fire pit and hammock.

Comment: This was so cute, I love the Teddy. The postal worker had a strange look on his face when he delivered it!
Response: My Postman thought I was a little nuts when I handed him the St. Louis Bear. I said, "Look where it's going." When he read Chicago his eyebrows went up!!!

I also don't like my left foot pinkie toe...well it's not really the toe, it's the nail. I've always had a really weird/deformed nail on that toe. I've never gotten a pedicure because of it!

April, I can't thank you enough for your support at the visitation and the funeral for my mom. What a sweet act of kindness it was for you to hold my hand. Thank you. {{hugs}} blessings, Gypsy
niecedenise on Jul 24, 2009:

Thankyou so much for being there for Gypsy!

That is so sweet of you to go to the funeral home for Gypsy! You are one very awesome gal!

SweetClementine on Jul 5, 2009:

You should win a prize for your "mostly dead" comment. Classic! You are one funny lady. Thanks for the laugh this morning. :-)

Thank you for letting me know about John. I had to give you this...
YankeeUnicorn on Jun 24, 2009:

Saying a prayer that your son recovers quickly and that the pain goes away swiftly! Big hugs to you and your son!
cobaltgypsy on Jun 19, 2009:

Can't believe you live so close to me! I'm in Carbondale, Illinois!

I hope everything goes well for your son. Your family is in my thoughts.

blessings, Gypsy
