dreams do come true.

I should preface this post by saying, that in the sum total of things I have "won" in my life, I think its a measly total of 1 (a blog giveaway for a poster).

Now rewind...

The week Becca had Behr, by the way my house look for the two weeks following you would have thought that I had the baby. To say everything was a mess is probably an understatment and as much as I love my husband, he really isn't cut out to work, take care of A, and keep our house clean while I recuperate from pulling an all nighter.

So one afternoon, during nap time I was feeling pretty ragged and thinking of sending a hint to Seth about what I "really want for Christmas," I tweeted:

I fell asleep and really thought nothing of it and Seth didn't even mention it when he came home from work. So much for a girl dreaming, right?

The next day, I got an email telling me that Olive Garden had started following me and that they mentioned me on Twitter.
At first I messaged them and asked if it was spam. It was probably total disbelief. Then they gave me an email address to correspond with a member of their team.

Next thing I knew there was a $300 gift card in the mail for Merry Maids to come clean my house. To say I was floored was an understatement. How they found my "wish" I still have no idea, but I am SO grateful. This pregnant mommy was not looking forward to getting down on my hands and knees to clean our floors.
