April Fools Day is a Holiday To My Husband

My husband is a practical joker - I never know what's going to jump out at me.... I'm a creature of habit... Every morning before I can do anything - I have to have my cup of tea - I heat the water in the microwave and because Dusty (the husband) knows me so well - he gets me every time... I have had stuffed snakes - fake spiders - you name it - it's probably jumped out at me.... April Fools day is his favorite holiday...and yes, I do mean holiday.. My friends can attest to some pretty good ones he has pulled on me.

One year he set all the clocks in the house, my car, and my watch one (1)hour ahead - so when I woke up - I assumed the girls and I were an hour late for school... I rushed them getting dressed - shoved the cereal down their mouths and jumped in the car breaking all kinds of speed limits only to arrive at an empty school - it was empty except for the before school childcare - I walked into the childcare area - I looked around and I asked my friend who worked there where everyone was... she looked at me like I completely lost it and then her face breaks out into a smile and she starts laughing... I mean laughing really hard.... and she said - oh, Dusty got you good this time.... it was 7:00 am.... Last year, he took all my right shoes out of the closet and hid them and I have a lot of shoes.... picture me on the ground in my closet trying to find a matching pair.... yep it took me a good 20 minutes to figure that one out..

This year I want to get him and I want to get him really good..... any ideas?

My April Fool's Prank..

I became the victim once again this morning..... to my forty-six year old husband's sense of humor... He literally becomes joyful this time of year trying to think up original pranks to pull on his loved ones. He is so well known for his April Fool's style that friends call him on March 31st for ideas.. This time of year I get a glimpse of how my husband must have been at ten years old!

A couple of years ago...he set every single clock in the house and in my car one hour ahead. I woke up and looked at the clock...oh NO....jumped out of bed , woke up the kids with a we are really late "let's GO", gave them a pop tart to eat in the car, money for lunch. a robe over my pajamas, and out the door we ran.... I arrived at their school and no one was there except the morning daycare. I walked into the daycare and look around and asked the worker where was everyone...She knew my husband..she started to laugh and she said oh noooo, Dusty got you good today...It's 7:15 am....April Foolsssss!!!!

Last year, I caught him trying to sneak my car out of the garage to hide it around the corner, another year a fake spider fell on me when I put down the visor in my car..and the pranks go on....You would think the practical jokes would only stay confined to April 1st...But oh nooo...., my life is filled with unexpected joys and jumps at every turn...

This year he out did himself....This morning after I got dressed I went to my closet to find a pair of shoes to wear. Granted my shoes are not neatly arranged.. I kind of throw them in the closet and there's a big old mess... but usually I can find one pair on top. This morning I could not find one single pair..man, I have to organize this closet. I sit on my bottom and start pulling out my shoes...I own about fifty pairs.. still looking for a pair. Now every shoe is out..Not one pair to be found!!! HE STOLE ALL MY RIGHT SHOES!!!!! I had only had left shoes in my closet!

Here's hoping your April Fool's is a good one!
