I'm DANCIN'!

There's a lot of things I feel I need to explain before you watch this video.

1. I was in the middle of either putting up or taking down our Christmas tree in the first one, it's sad that I can't remember.

2. I yelled at my oldest son that I was dancing because he was begging me to come help him with his homework. I have to set my priorities, right?

3. Later you'll see I had shoved a big dinner roll in my mouth and was in the process of trying to eat it. Eating while dancing helps control calories.

4. I was making grape jelly in the kitchen when my son decided to start filming me dancing to Fergilicious. My jelly turned out Grapilicious.

5. The chair thing.... I don't know. I think my daughter caught me doing that.

6. While watching these clips, it became obvious to me that I never fix my hair. I made an appointment to get it cut tomorrow.

7. I am going to loose sleep tonight, because I posted this stupid video.

8. Dancing is all I have left.

9. I was a cheerleader.

10. I was too tall to be a cheerleader.

11. I'm sick of myself. Gah.

12. Please excuse me while I go hurl.

AHAHAHAHA!!!! That's awesome. It's so nice to know I'm not the only one who breaks it down much to the dismay of the rest of my family :) That's probably because I'm not near as coordinated as you though!

I dance around my house all the time.... The difference for me is that I would never allow anyone to photograph or videotape me doing so! You are far more brave than me in that respect....

Linda said...

When you've gotta dance, you've gotta dance! I'm with ya. You're just a party waiting to happen. What fun!

Kelli said...

Laughter is one of my many blessings. Thanks for adding this to my gratitude list today. Keep em' coming....we all need to laugh!!

My kids would think something was wrong if I didn't break out in dance and song at least once a day.

“And let that day be lost to us on which we did not dance once! And let that wisdom be false to us that brought no laughter with it!”

There is a disease. It has a name. There might even be a support group for it. We could sign up together.

I used to think that a beer or two improved my dancing, until I saw a video of my dancing. And I was actually trying.

Lisa said...

I SO NEEDED THIS TODAY. THANK YOU APRIL.

HUGS FROM MAINE

Carla said...

Hahaha. That was great. You're not the only one dancing around the house. Thankfully, no one has caught me on video.

Sharon said...

And to think you have thrown it out the internets for all eternity. Well done!

There comes a point in every mother's life that she gives up trying to play the "perfect person" role, and becomes herself again. That was freaking AWESOME!

Becky Meyers said...

OMG ROFL!!!! that was awesome!! april i miss you SO much!!!!

The Source said...

You dork! :) You're too funny! Your family is as nutty as mine, I think.

Anonymous said...

You are such a goofball!
My favorite part is around 54 seconds in when you're dancing and one of your boys is twirling the broom sweeper around and 2 more kids are sitting on the sofa ignoring you - just like nothing is going on. Just Mom being goofy again.
I love it!

Midway Records said...

Can definitely tell you were a cheerleader! Hands on hips! You are brave.

grandmamargie said...

How funny. And the kids just went on about their business like nothing at all was happening. Loved it. My word verif was

vocutord ?? :)

Trisha said...

THANK YOU for posting that! It really made me smile. AND - I don't think you look too bad. The duet with your son and the swiffer was fabulous!

Anonymous said...

That was THE BEST.

Marie said...

HILARIOUS !! Almost burned lunch watching that !!

Anonymous said...

I dance around like that too... only I don't let anyone catch it on film, LOL!

You know... you might could get yourself out of debt a tad quicker if you alert the Depends people to your blog. I noticed a few of your commentors mentioned peeing themselves. You very well could have a future in forcing and/or perpetuating the incontinence of millions. You could be the Depends girl and bring laughter to new levels... levels of urine!

BWAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAA HAA!!!

Rechelle, you should totally call April Miss Depends from now on!

Donna Boucher said...

You are the funniest.

I am despondent that I will not get to see you dance in person.

Despondent!!!

Alisa said...

My husband just looked over my shoulder and said, "What the h*ll?"
I just laughed. Thanks for giving me the courage to share our dance a thons with the world.

Lindsay said...

The same thing goes on in my house...often. I'd join your dance team any day!
PS...as I was watching this, Cal, watching over my shoulder said "hey that's Levi's mom".

Mylinda said...

My daughter loooooved your video & said that's gonna be her someday! lol
You had me wishing I danced more!

jennygirltherat said...

Hell yes! If I could dance like that I would post it on an electronic billboard. You are the Goddess of all Kitchen Dancers!
BTW my first vsit. I got curious because I actually knew someone named April Showers when I was in grade school. Love this blog...

Laurie said...

Ain't life grand? Thanks for putting it all into place. I LOVE IT!

Danielle said...

You have reached a new level in blogdom, April. A new level.

Kate said...

That is fabulous! I loved it.

Sally said...

Your kids are so very lucky!! Good for you. :)

Anonymous said...

Sally-Ann said...

Made my day. I think everyone dances in private, they are just afraid to show it and admit it!! I'm off to shake my groove thing. The screaming you hear will be my oldest children. My youngest will join in.

Molly said...

You are my hero! You let the music move you. And you're good!

jill said...

Marilyn said...

April, you are so brave. Also, you so crazy. Certainly hope you'll be bustin' those moves over here!

Alicia said...
