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 started watching Gran Hotel this week and since then all my dreams have been in Spanish. I may or may not try to speak to my husband in Spanish first and realize he won't understand a word I say. So I'm translating in my head back to English. What is that all about??

I may or may not giggle every time they say the main characters' name, Alicia, because it sounds like they have a lisp (Alithia). I am not particularly proud of this one. But still I giggle every time (in my head).

I may or may not have been so busy running errands, homeschooling and being places this week that pit stops have not been happening in my back yard. 17 of my roses were eaten this week. The mommy person has declared war on the deer. Pit stops will not be forgotten again. I'm grateful for having little boys to easily tackle marking our territory. The roses will be saved!

I may or may not be grateful for benadryl. It saved my life this week. 

I may or may not have started two books from the library this week and taken it personally that they were not worth reading. Lucky for me I am not in a book drought but in a time of book prosper and have a huge stack to move on to reading.

I may or may not have drawn a bath and added essential oils to help with allergies that the daddy person and a little person suffer severely and added too much. I am grateful that it was just the daddy person's skin that was aggravated, slightly burned and not the little person.

I may or may not have posted this one of facebook but think it was a definite failure and highlight of the week. Cupcakes crashing to the floor as we are leaving for the school party. In the two minutes that it took to recover and not be a complete failure to my child, it is upsetting that I actually picked up a cupcake to see if it was still okay to give to the kids. It had shards of glass all over it, and quickly it was settled they couldn't be served or saved.

I  may or may not be scared for the winter weather to set upon us. On Thursday, the smoke from the Nor Cal fire blew in and was so thick that I was unable to even drive my little person to school. The three of us were stuck inside for the first time in four months and were going crazy. By the end of the day winds came in and blew out the smoke and we were able to go to the pool. But there's coming a day that it won't be warm enough to want to set foot outside. I think we might actually go crazy.
