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 don't  often sharpen pencils,
but when I do I get them all.

I may or may not have put my food for library fines donations into a paper bag. Along with seven kid's chapter books. I may have taken three steps away from my car with the bag in hand when the bag completely breaks and drops to the sidewalk. The books sprawl across the sidewalk and the mighty wind storm decides one book needs to fly across the parking lot. I may or may not have left the rest of the sprawled books and broken bag to chase after the book while my little is jumping up and down screaming that the wind is going to kill us!

I may or may not have dropped my phone into my tea for less than a second. For 18 hours it was in intensive care -- a bag or rice. The rice saved its life! Yay! Though a grain of rice ended up shoved in the charger slot and needed surgery for repair. It was also a success.

This week's STEAM project was a messy one. Paper mâché globes for Earth Day. Neither of my littles like to have their hands get dirty. So in the end I made them. It was an interesting dance trying to figure out how to keep the gluten off my hands while making it. The flour and the glue have gluten in them -- naturally. But I managed it using double or triple thick strips as a paint brush.

I may or may not have been extremely shamed when I saw the STEAM pictures posted on fb. The state of the littles was what was embarrassing. In the future I need to do a better job of making the littles presentable. Last weeks' pictures were a wake up call to at least comb their hair before we go.

I may or may not have purchased two clematis called guernsey cream. At first I was super excited that just maybe it was named for the Channel Isle and how fitting that is for it being aptly named for my second favorite book of all time. Then my heart sank and thought, "What if they means cows' milk!?" That certainly doesn't bring thoughts of beauty to mind. Nope. Nope. Nope. I'm sticking to it being a Channel Isle beauty.

I may or may not have made a cake at the request of my little. One slice has been consumed. I have a perfectly delicious cake with one slice missing sitting on my counter now for four days.

I may or may not have forgotten to make sure I had the proper ingredients for the two foods I eat. The potatoes are sitting in the pop simmering and my husband just ran out the door to hit Walmart to get my dairy free, soy free butter.
