I know you've all been sitting on the edge of your chairs waiting to find out who won the Amazon gift cards and books, so I won't keep you in suspense anymore.  Here they are:

Winner of That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN:  Deanne Humphrys-Dunne.

Congratulations!  Thanks to all who commented, and a big thanks to everyone who follows this blog!




Now for the story: 

"Woman!" my husband said.  "Happy Mother's Day!"

I looked at the man.  "Why, thank you, but Mother's Day isn't until Sunday."

"I know. But I got you a present."

"What?" I asked.

"It's in the driveway."

Since last year he got me a toilet for Mother's Day, I figured this would probably be just as good.  "What is it? A pile of horse manure?" I asked.

He laughed.  "Close!"

I went outside to have a look.  Do you know what it was?  Nine cubic yards of steaming hot mulch!

"Gee, thanks," I said.

He walked back in the house.  "Have fun with it!"




(In all fairness, my husband did give me a spa gift certificate last year in addition to the toilet. And he didn't make me install it.  But I did have to help haul it to the curb!)
