I HATE April Fools!!

So today I realized that I officially dislike April Fools Day. If I could think of some funny jokes to play on people it might make for a better day, but since I'm usually the one to get the pranks pulled on, it's not all that fun.

First off... I texted Jeff this morning to see how he was feeling because he's been really sick with a bad cold. This is the reply I got... and I quote, "Not too good. I just found out I got laid off so I am down at medical getting my outgoing physical. I should be home by noon. I have to catch a bus home so I will call you when I leave here. I didn't think this would happen since they pretty much told me it wouldn't. I am pretty pissed."

Okay now first off, he just told me on Sunday that his work was having layoffs this week because apparently they are running out of work. But he NEVER ONCE said anything about him possibly getting laid off, so that never even crossed my mind. So when I got that text this morning, it never occured to me that it was April Fools. You can imagine what was going through my head... This was my reply. "What?? Are you kidding me? So now what??" So there I am at work, completely unable to focus, with these questions running through my head.... So does this mean we will be moving back home to Logan? What are we going to do about money? Does this mean I get to quit my job? :) What is Jeff going to do for the next 5 months before dental school? What am I going to do for work if we do move back home? So there I sat, stewing over all these thoughts, while Jeff is at work laughing his head off at his great attempt to fool me. A half hour later, just when I was about to text him again, he replied with, "April Fools!" Ewwww!!!! I was so mad! I had all these mixed emotions of being half excited (of the small chance that we could move home for a while, and that I could quit my job) and half worried (about money, especially right before dental school, and what this will mean for us). I think you all get the picture. People at work were telling him that it was a mean joke... and he was telling them that I would probably be more mad once I found out it wasn't true. Haha! Needless to say, he is still very much employed.

To continue on with his April Fools antics, he asks me if I would go get him a glass of water. So being the nice wife that I am, I go downstairs to get him some water. He must have been listening from the top of the stairs, because he heard me open the fridge. He then says, "hey I don't want it out of the fridge, the tap water is fine." And I replied with, "you don't want a bottled water??" And he said, "no I just want it out of the faucet please." And I said, "WHY??" He responds with, "well my throat is sore and the cold water irritates it." I'm gullable, I know. So to the faucet I go. I turned it on and a fountain of water hit me right in the chest. Now I'm not kidding when I say fountain. It literally soaked me from my shirt to my pants to all over the floor!! It took me a full second to realize why the water was shooting out instead of down! Well there you have it... Jeff put a rubber band around the water sprayer thing. I know, oldest trick in the book, but I fell for it! So if anyone is ever up for a good laugh on April fools, apparently I'm the one to prank, I'll fall for it every time!
