May or May-Not Monday

May or May-Not Monday: Where you can divulge the secrets of life's mishaps without feeling like a failure. So go on... own up. I may have...


I may or may not have tried a new rice flour and posted on facebook about how awful it was when it's very own marketing said tears were shred for joy in the eating of this flour. It may have been baking soda from the bottom of the pan that left such a bitter aftertaste and not actually the flour. I may have tried the last scooped cookie first. The rest of the batch tasted great.

I may or may not have felt bad about throwing away three miniature pumpkins to make way for my advent wreath and moved them to my laundry room window sill. They may or may not have decided to rot in that week  and leave nastiness behind. Next time I will not have such qualms about throwing away "perfectly good" pumpkins.

I may or may not have only left the house to take and pick up my kid from school for seven days straight. Apparently sub zero temperatures and snow makes me hibernate and hermit away inside my warm house. 

I may or may not have convinced my husband to go in to work a half hour late for four of the five school days so that he could take my kid to school and deal with the cold temperatures. My youngest was very happy to not have his morning interrupted by the cold either.

I may or may not have made flash cards for the capitals of the world and US states and then convinced my husband that they should be protected from the Destroyer (my youngest). His solution: go out and buy a laminator. We may still be in the midst of this project, laminating the 196 capitals of the world. It may be my running joke that when we get the project done we will have given our son the world.
