Yesterday I got a call at 8am telling me a lot of mulch was being delivered to the school so I was at the school all morning, through 3 actually. I was very tired and sore last night so typing an April Fool's joke on here was the last thing on my mind. I am very sore this morning, but I promised I would type this story out.
April 1, 2001
My first child was born in January of that year so he wasn't even 3 months old yet. Ron and I decided to go to the mall so he was putting Andrew in the car and I was upstairs doing my make-up.
(We lived in a townhouse, and every one had 2 parking spots directly behind their unit.)
Ron calls upstairs to me, "where are your keys, I locked mine in the car."
I yell down that they are on the kitchen counter, like they always are.
"I can't find them."
I jump down the stairs. Seriously, pretty sure my feet never hit even one step. I run into the kitchen and proceed to throw everything that was on the counter onto the floor in my desperate attempt to find my keys because you see, Ron started the car after putting Andrew in the car and then locked the doors, so my not even 3 month old son is locked in a running car. I start screaming to Ron, "GET OUTSIDE. IF SOMEONE SEES A BABY IN A CAR THEY WILL CALL THE COPS!!!" Ron listens and walks outside.
I am now tearing my house apart looking for my keys and I can't friggin find them anywhere. After what seems like an eternity but was probably only a minute or two, Ron walks in, stands by the door, and says, "What are you looking for? These?" And dangles my keys in front of me.
"april fools"
OMG. I did not laugh. Not at all. I beat the crap out of him. You DO NOT do something like that to a new Mom!!!! Almost filed for a divorce that day.
Gees. All these years later and I am still shaking, just thinking about that day.
RON!!!! ;)

Wow - that is seriously brutal! The state of the sleep-deprived new mom is not to be messed with. I can only imagine the amount of jewelry, flowers, etc. that were required to make up for it. :)
LOL thats baaaddd..the one time scott scared the crap outta me like that - I wanted to divorce him too!!! We had just moved into our new apt (just got married like amonth before) and Scott was working in Smithville that day for his office...I TOOK him to work.. we only had the one car and I was home that day. Sooo I TOOK him to work which was 45 minutes away... I came back and did something then started to get ready. I took a bath. Our bedroom was in the VERY back of our apt. and the master was in there. I was always TERRIFIED of someone breaking in on me while I was home alone.. well, I was in the bathtub, and I hear the door open and then I hear footsteps coming down the hall!!!! I started freaking and hyperventilating bc I knew they were in my apt and I knew I was going to get raped and killed!!!!! Well Scott peeps his head around the corner!!!! He came home in the compnay car bc they asked him to make a run to Nashville and wanted to see if I wanted to go too!!!! OMG I was sooooooo mad and so scared that I started crying and shaking!!! lol I wil never forget that!
