April Fool's Day - one day late

Okay so with everything in my life it seems I'm always 1 day behind and so my blog (with all 3 readers...hi shell, cam and penny) wouldn't be any different.

I wanted to share an April Fool's joke from the past-but forgot to log on yesteday.

Anyway no great jokes this year...I was going to get out the old EPT that I still have saved from when I found out I was pregnant with Isabella and leave it out for Mike with a note - but he could "do the math" and know that it wouldn't have been his- plus the Tampons out of the counter gave that away too.

Okay so 10 years ago I was working at Cendant and it was the year we were getting married and we had just bought our first house. Cendant had been going through some lay offs but really just getting rid of dead weight. So I call Mike and told him I got layed off - around 9:15am and that I got severence and it will all work out. He must have called me back 10 times and said "we are going to have to rethink this whole thing" and I said "rethink what whole thing" and he said :"the wedding" and I said "oh please", and he said "yes that big wedding" - ok side tangent... Mike really would have been fine with a big backyard wedding/party but he knew I wanted a very special BIG wedding and he was working his BUTT off driving his VW van and sitting on horsehair and springs, and working every weekend (we saved so much money that year) - ok back to the story. So I said "Mike it will work out we can still have the big wedding, I will find a job" I let him go until 3pm, and then called and said "April Fool's" - He was so mad at me, I'm surprised he didn't call off the wedding just because of that. He did not think it was 1 bit funny, infact I told the story about 2 years later and he got mad again - hopefully he won't get mad if he reads this.... he has mellowed out in the past 10 years.
AND - it was a great big wedding with everything I wanted.

SO at the Oursler house we only played "there is a spider on you" - April Fool's...

Hope everyone had a great day - and Happy Birthday Marie and thoughts are with you Diane - xxox

I vaguely remember that April Fool's joke you played on Mike...too funny! We didn't play any April's Fools jokes at all...
