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 worried so much about my littles allergies being aggravated by his hair constantly being in his face that I decided to cut it off. It was an unsuccessful attempt. Unsuccessful might be putting it lightly. I didn't even finished getting it all short. I gave up after an hour and thought it better to takes break and evaluate options in the morning. I put him in a hat the next day and waited to hear back from our hair dresser to see if he could squeeze us in and save the day. I got the if you can be here in 30 min I can text. Into the car we flew because it indeed takes half an hour to get there sans traffic. The day was saved. 

I may or may not have been so worried about the whole process that I completely overlooked the momentous occasion this was for our hair dresser. You see he gave my husband his first hair cut. And he gave my little his first professional hair cut. 

I may or may not have spent a good ten minutes around midnight taking pictures of cats that gathered on my front porch, no doubt it was the fish fertilizer smell that lured them. You see they were gray and white kitties and our neighbors' gray and white one disappeared a month or so ago. I was so hoping one of them was their kitty and that it had escaped being coyote food. Cats don't have a long life out here with the coyotes. After the picture fest, I stayed up even later in my quest. I searched the neighborhood fb page for the post of their cat. No such luck. Just a gang of stray cats. 

I may or may not have guilt over sunscreen. Daily the argument plays out in my head. Put it on and risk cancer from the chemicals. Zinc oxide causes rashes on our skin. Don't put it on and risk burning and skin cancer. Or don't take the time to reapply and stay at the pool too long risks frying. We live in the land of baby trees. Trees don't grow naturally out here, so mature trees and shade are a commodity we just don't have. Which is tough when combating the high desert sun. Anyone else find themselves tormented in the sunscreen battle? 

I may or may not have promised a yoga date with my littlest. A free kids class was being offered in the park. We showed up ready to go and there was no one there in the muddy water logged grass field. It would not have worked for yoga anyway. But still there was no cancelation notice which just isn't kind and leads to the hundred questions I will need to answer from my little. I saw a stat this week that said toddlers ask daily 435 questions!! My littles are not toddlers any more but neither have grown out of the question asking stage. In my day I'm fielding 800 questions. And my husband wonders why I have no tolerance for him adding questions to the mix!
