Miracles Do Happen

tomato seedlings

Last week while I was out of town I put the HH in charge of watering my plants. This is always a total crapshoot for me. Some {okay, most} years I come back and 99% of my plants are dead do to lack of watering {I swear he has a secret eye dropper he uses to water my plants}.

But this year, not only were all my plants still alive… but the house was clean and the laundry was done. {Well, washed but not folded}.

How did this even happen?

Maybe 8 days is the magic number. 7, not so much. But 8 days? Maybe that’s when husbands go into survival mode and realise they have will have to wash their clothes {if they want to wear clean ones the next day} and wash the coffee cups, and grind their own coffee so they won’t start their day with a caffeine withdrawal.

I’m telling you. I think I’m on to something here. 😉

Miracles. They do happen.

    I laughed so hard! Maybe our husbands should meet so they could share the eye dropper!
