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 a crib, twin bed, refrigerator, and stove for sale on craigslist and all hanging out in my garage.

I may or may not have walked into Home Depot for salt for our water softener and come out with salt and a new refrigerator. I may not have been prepared to drop that kind of money, but it's the model we've been waiting for to go on sale and we got a screaming good deal.

I may or may not have just gotten around to researching javelina. We ran into one on our 5 mile hike in Tucson. I may have been putting it off because I really didn't want to know how lucky we were that there wasn't much of a confrontation. Lucky, very lucky.

I may or may not have been super excited about the boys' new twin beds arriving that I decided I was going to have them all set up and put together before the husband came home. After ten minutes of heavy lifting and getting into the boxes, I came to the ugly realization that I only had the bed frame. No headboards or footboards. I'm hoping they are on their way. Otherwise that's a cruel joke.

I  may or may not have put on running tights for my walk. It really helps with my circulation issues to have my legs compressed. Only to find out that when I started running with the stroller, they wanted to go right down to my ankles. My run turned into a walk with repeated stops for hiking up the pants. 

I  may or may not feel like I'm the only person who doesn't have an instagram account. I may be going back and forth about it as one more way for me to stalk people's lives and waste my free time. Should I do it??

I may or may not have changed the water in the fish tank and rushed off to take one little to school and the other to the library. Three hours later when we came home, the fish was doing a perfectly still headstand (fish stand?) into the marbles. I must not have gotten the water temperature correct. It was a good two years Fishy.

I may or may not have requested 12 books to read from the library off my goodreads to-read list.  None of these books are walks in the park to get through. My normal experience is that they trickle in over the next month or so. Not this time. Nine of them showed up in one day! Sigh. I have 15 other books requested that I requested in the last few months that haven't bothered to show up yet and all of those are easy reading.

I may or may not have been told by a substitute librarian that I needed to return books back to the library because I have my allowance of 100 currently checked out. I came home and checked my account. 93! I am under my allowance. No need to be snippy.

I may or may not have gone to buy supplies for the Christmas crafts I thought would be kid fun and not messy. Apparently so did everyone else in town because those specific supplies were sold out. Lesson to learn: buy your Christmas craft supplies in August to ensure you will get your crafting merriment checked off your list of Ways to Compete for Best Mom: Every Year of Your Kid's Life.

From the front seat, we may or may have heard the words "I have diar..!" from a sick little in the backseat. We both cringed and just started panic mode when he finished the word. Diorite. It's a type of rock folks.
