I loved this post from my friend Kelly. She writes, “You know, it might be a sign that things just aren’t going to go your way, when you had to wash your car on your own on Mother’s Day, and then it rains the next morning!”
Last year I started a tradition of washing my own car on Mother’s Day. At the time, the Husband commented that I was “trying to make him look bad,” but honestly, I can think of nothing more relaxing (and satisfying) that getting the car clean, and on Mother’s Day to boot.
And yes, today it rained. And yes, there were at least four of us at Evan’s school who complained about the same thing: “I washed my car yesterday for Mother’s Day and look, today it rained.”
On the bright side, because there always is one, today in the mail I received this:

The envelope in the mailbox was in fact my very own SASE, with my handwriting at the bottom, “For Bakeless Results.” Remember, kids, sometimes those SASE’s really do bring good news.
