I wouldn't care about waking up a baby if a snake was in my house either. Although the country is pretty and cleaner than the city, the idea of snakes would keep me away from living there.
Good luck in the contest. Keep writing

Hi there,
It may be an idea to incorporate line breaks into this. A clear line between paragraphs and dialogue can make for a much cleaner write which is easier to follow on screen. Some folk skip over unbroken text.
as a storm forecasting breeze - perhaps hyphenate storm-forecasting here.
I jumped unto the counter, - onto rather than unto here, I think.
His reply, " Shh, he's almost asleep." - delete the space following the opening speech marks.
That would have freaked me out entirely. lol Nice little piece.

Hi Brigitte,
Oh, my gosh! That experience had to be horrifying. I am glad your hubby was there to take care of it. And I am glad the snake wasn't harmed inside the dryer.
Two small offerings here:
"I jumped unto the counter, ( I was a city girl turned farm wife.)"
I think "onto" would work more effectively, and I believe the period should follow your closing parenthesis.
Thanks for sharing and good luck.
