APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!

So April 1st arrived just like every year, without me realizing it. One of these years Anthony's ever-so-trusting wife is going to wise up to his evil schemes. At about 7:30 a.m., I receive the following text. "Stay by phone...I am OK but was just rear ended on freeway...civic is not ok." Of course one of my worst fears, car accidents combined with my fear of losing Anth...NOT GOOD! I was immediately shaking and very concerned. Knowing Anthony, I was afraid that he was indeed hurt but didn't want to freak me out. I tried to call him and no answer. I'm now feeling the lump in my throat grow - All part of his evil plan. Shortly after he finally calls me back... he then has to calm his quivering voiced, shaky kneed wife with tons of :"I"m OK's". "The civic is probably totaled and I'm going to need you to come get me. I am going to have the car towed, you can get me there." During all of this, I am trying to get Elsie and Lillie ready to go to school. After the initial phone call I had gathered the kids, explained Daddy was in an accident but he was ok. We then all knelt and prayed together to thank Heavenly Father for protecting Anthony. (Supposedly the people in the "other car" were seriously "banged up" but he had the paramedics check out his shin from a good bang and he was fine.) Elsie and Lillie (ages 6 an d 5) were both obviously fighting back tears and begging to not go to school until we got daddy back home. They were very concerned about daddy being in an ambulance. They were so scared. Blake (age 3) kept asking if daddy was going to die. Boston (age 2) ummm... where is Boston anyways? SO... now I start trying to quickly arrange for various carpools, scout leader meetings, people to take the younger kids... etc... All scheduled to take place within the next few hours. Again, the phone rings, Anthony is on the other end. On my end all I can think is, "I love you, I love you, I love you, I'm so glad you are ok." I just wanted to hold him. He explains that the police officer offered to drop him off here at home so I wouldn’t have to go get him. Here's the part that kills me - yes, I actually fell for it, but he was so convincing! (I know, so disturbing on many levels.) The police officer was heading to a helicopter-training thing and was going to drop him off out here in Herriman at our house via Helicopter. DUH!!!! Anth starts laughing so hard and tells me to open the window so he could crawl down from roof after they drop him off. He is laughing so hard I can hardly understand him. I even actually looked outside for a helicopter. Anth then says, he'll be swinging down on a rope. Suddenly it was all ever so clear! IT IS APRIL FOOLS DAY!" SO NOW THE ANGER AND TEARS ALL SURFACE... "YOU ARE SO MEAN... NOT FUNNY! NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!!" WERE YOU EVEN IN AN ACCIDENT?" All I can hear is hysterical laughter and a quick , "Nope." Then I'm embarrassed to say I hung up on him. I was shaking like a leaf. Get a grip Mandi you big sponge! (By the way...that is a self-proclaimed sponge. Anth didn't call me a sponge.) I explained to the kids that daddy was joking because it was April Fools Day. Elsie seemed confused why he did it as she headed off to carpool within seconds of learning of daddy's "joke." Lillie folded her arms quickly, and with a Humph and a big frown declared. “That is NOT funny. I was scared." (I readily agreed with her.) Blake said, "Daddy told a liar!" And Boston ... well he was oblivious to everything & was found in my bathroom destroying and "washing" most of my makeup and filling a flower vase on my counter top with lotion. NOW.... All I can say is this:

"MY DEAREST LOVE, DON'T TURN YOUR BACK. FOR WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT, SWEET SWEET REVENGE WILL BE MINE!"

Love,
Your innocent lil' wifey poo,
Mandi
