FRIDAYYY

[alayne926]

I went out for Mexican and margaritas lastnight with a friend and had SUCH a great time, but I'm paying the price today....at least it's Friday!

My lowest ranking subordinate just walked into my office with a box of my favorite kind of donuts. He does this at the beginning of every month. Yep my odds of me firing this guy are pretty much nonexistent.

Happy adoption day, Kristykristyleelee!

I'm going to lunch and shopping with my mom and dad this afternoon. My mom is obsessed with finding first birthday party supplies, so that's what she wants to look for. I don't really like what they sell in stores (anything I've seen is just pink or blue), so...yeah, should be fun!

[mrsmonogrammed]

DH is off today too so we are going to an antique fair thing in the next town over...even if we just walk around for an hour it will be nice to get out as a family:) DD slept in until 7am so I'm in a fantastic mood:)

I just refreshed this page and now it looks really weird. April Fools Day prank I assume. But honestly not a fan.

[Widget123]

Jinx @scoop,

[Widget123]

Who is that black and white character? Is he supposed to be something people would recognize or something totally random?

[Bluedaisy]

I'm over the new April Fools look..I hope it goes away soon. Anyone planning any pranks today?

[erbear]

Whatever this new look is, it doesn't change on mobile!

[erbear]

UO maybe, but I find April fools' day pranks really lame. I don't have patience for them, I guess.

H is in the doghouse this morning. He's lucky he is gone until late tomorrow night/early Sunday morning.

My mom has asked me no less than 10 times in the last week or two if I've gotten invites for DS' party. No mom. Somewhere in between dealing with a stomach flu circling the family, signing on building a house, and life with a baby, somehow a party that's almost three months away is not the top of the priority list.

April fools tricks are fun when the kids get older. We do harmless stuff here like this morning, I gave them cereal and milk but froze it in the bowls overnight. I'm going to give them mashed potato "sundaes" with gravy topping at supper. They will try and trick me for the remainder of the day, doing things like screaming "there's a spider above you!!" Might be a long day. Lol.

Kiddo is still a drooling sniffly mess today, but thankfully he finally succumbed to his morning nap. Thinking of making a Target run later to stock up on plastic tubs to start de-cluttering the house. Also, I have zero food in the house that sounds good for lunch, so I'm thinking target popcorn sounds like a solid meal. Then probably still going to swim lessons later, since he doesn't have a fever, and they normally cheer him up.

Also, really random - last night a raccoon was climbing up our gutters. H went out onto the deck with a baseball bat - not sure why the bat was necessary, maybe if the raccoon came at him? Luckily, it ran away when he turned on the back light. This is less than a week after we had our attic de-miced. Looking forward to not living on a wooded lot anymore!

[erbear]

See, it's different with kids. Just between adults, idk, I find it annoying.

When I was 8 I came up with the best April fools prank. I replaced my dads white wine with water. He played along so well.

But what did he do?!

Mostly just his laziness. He didn't wash bottles last night when it was his turn. I didn't get home until 1 am from work, so I didn't wash them. So, he got up with J this morning so I could sleep for 15 more minutes or so, and washed the one bottle he would need to feed him with. One. We have 6, so we only need to wash them once per day. He is going and playing board games all day today and tomorrow, and then Sunday we are leaving for Nevada. I would've thought he could do at least one thing before he left. I think he gets to wash all the bottles on vacation.

On the plus side, this means I get the bed to myself tonight.

[prettymama36]

erbear I agree with this. It's hard to get a good prank with adults that's not lame, over the top or annoying. I switched the sugar and salt at home as a kid. It was hilarious how confused my dad was why his coffee tasted bad. He kept blaming my mom for making it wrong.
I just got a call that I won a contest from a local tv station for celebrations. It's a gift certificate for a local party store. Yay! Now I need to decide on what I'm doing for lo's birthday.

Happy adoption day Kristykristyleelee!!

jillywilly , that's terrifying. Fun fact? I was bit by a raccoon in college.

OMG. No thank you to being bitten by a raccoon. Did you need any shots or anything after it happened? Also, how did you get bitten? Was it a vicious, attacking raccoon, or was there alcohol/other circumstances involved? It's happened before here, last year while I was pregnant a raccoon climbed our gutters and DH pounded on the wall to try and scare it off when there was no baby to worry about waking.

In exciting news, H and I booked our flights for Italy last night! I am so excited, but also very anxious about traveling with V for some reason. I'm so worried that something will happen to him while we're so far from home. Hopefully as we get closer and tighten up our itinerary I'll feel better.

I am soooo jealous, but understand the anxiety over travelling with V. I would have killed to go to Europe or the Caribbean again this year, but settled for South Carolina as our destination since DH flat out refused to leave the country with DS

[holliberry28]

I love April fools. Leaving this text between H and I right here..

[littlemissgrump]

Good morning!

We have been busy lately! It's also really amazing weather here so we've been outside a lot! Including our first Hike It Baby hike!

My H and I are trying to decide on this year's vacations. We are going to pick 2 out of Austin, Sedona, and Vermont with other NE destinations. Maybe someday we'll make it out of the country too!

Mine looks different on mobile. Maybe it's the color? Was the header at top always blue?

[beersandweirs]

Apparently I am making the rounds through J15 with my dreams. This time it was @hazeldublin. I dreamt (dreamed?) we were taking a vacation with friends to Ireland and Sweden. And I thought, hey, I can meet up with Hazel, I just have to figure out how to explain to my friends that I am meeting up with my internet friend, or find a way to ditch them, haha.

[beersandweirs]

Is the black and white creature a narwhal?

Omg I hate the fake "I'm pregnant" April Fool's prank. I have already seen 4 on FB today.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't fool anyone. And, I used to the best April Fool's fooler.

I think I've told you guys this story before but I had a job that had a super bitchy person in charge of ordering everyone's office supplies and she would always be really controlling over how many post its we could order so one April fools we covered her entire office floor to ceiling with post its
