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 missed using a 40% off coupon online by a literal minute. I was in the midst of checking out, but didn't get the order submitted by the 11:59 pm CST deadline. You'd think, or at least I would, that if you're in the process it would be honored. 

I may or may not have needed to make a poster of my little for school. This showed me it's ridiculous to have 1,000 photos in my phone detailing our life since November of 2014. I sent them all to my email and then downloaded them and consequently uploaded them to make a photo book or three. I made my photo book with the twenty inuded pages and realized with shoving as many as possible to a page, I covered September through October of 2015. Now after wasting seven hours of my day on a failed project, I need to rethink my game plan. Tell me your solutions for pictures please!

I may or may not have started our homeschool week cleaning off the math manipulatives from the glitter ornament bomb that exploded on them at some point over the last three weeks and was decidedly shoved in a closet so I wouldn't know.  That's the reasonable thing to do, hide it and keep it secret from your parents. Shards of glass and a pound of glitter was the damage. It had been so long the culprits didn't even remember what happened to them. When I reminded them, I was met with , "Oh, riiiight..." with eyes and heads adverted and then grins while reliving that joyousness in their heads. 

I may or may not have spilled an entire 1/3 oz of coconut and essential oils on my brand new shirt while trying to push the roller ball back on. Promptly googled and doused my shirt in cornstarch and baking soda. While wearing it because I didn't want to come up with another comfortable, warm, and not heavy or bulky outfit. I may or may not have have needed to pick up a little from school during the absorption period. Didn't much matter, it's 24 outside. Heavy coat zipped up needed. I may have looked put together but now you know better!

I may or may not have had purple dried flowers in my guest bathroom for going on two years that have withstood the littles. Well after the littlest used the sink as a pool for his toys the heads of the flowers were decapitated and shoved behind the pedestal sink. There seems to be a trend happening...

I may or may not have made my own hairspray from a tutorial and it actually works and turned out well! It's just sugar water in a spray bottle. I didn't think it would end a success. I'll share the link in the comments on fb if anyone requests it. 

I may or may not have used the vacuum unknowingly while it was still wet from cleaning it and put it back in the closet for days to stew with the wet lint and dirt. The next usage produced a horrible moldy and mildewy smell. And the vacuum had to be cleaned again. This time the parts were made sure to dry in front of a space heater. 

This week at Walmart I was so excited to find organic avocados that were ACTUALLY ripe!!! I may or may not have purchased ten of them. Remember I was excited. After putting them away at home, I felt ridiculous because of course we could never get through them before they turned. Oh we did. I made guacamole with five of them and it was the best we'd ever had. We demolished it and the littlest scrapped the bowl clean. The next night I only served guacamole and chips for dinner. Best dinner ever. Those ripe avocados did not disappoint! Though we are ruined forever on not perfectly ripe avocados.
