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 given you false information last week, unintentionally of course. My little corrected me that it was the Carpathia that saved the passengers of Titanic. The Mauretania  was Titanic’s rival and held the speed record for crossing the pond. So mea culpa. 

I may or may not have painted a chair and ended up with a pulled muscle in my neck. How? Well, I held my head on its side for the better part of the hour. Apparently it didn’t like that. I had no indication of it until I woke on Tuesday and couldn’t move. It’s been a week and I’m almost back to normal. Almost. Today was the first day I woke up without being in distress from the pain. 

I may or may not have used the neck injury as an opportunity to try Amazon for a 30 day free trial with their tv and movies. So far I’m less than impressed with the selection. Though happy to share my childhood favorite Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman with my littles. They have taken to the show and proven they can binge watch with the rest of them - 12 straight hours on Saturday. My darling husband joined them because he didn’t experience this prime piece of television in its hay day. 

I may or may not have been taking a bath when I was alerted that someone was trying to use my AppleID in Cambridge, ID. I don’t live even close to there. After panicking and trying to change my password and being told I didn’t know the correct passcode - gah - it turned out to be my darling husband trying to install a new home button on our old phone. 

I may or may not have tried to order my life in Chatbooks in August. It never processed and I didn’t understand why. Turns out the photos never could sync up because our internet connection is dinky. I spent hours yesterday syncing and my order says it will arrive September 12, 2017. Nice. 

We called the internet company on Friday because I couldn’t watch Amazon through my tv. Of course they made us reboot. Yeah, not the problem. Our internet light on our modem doesn’t light up. We received a phone call today that they want us to upgrade our modem and they will upgrade our speed and keep our current $29.95 a month rate. So I may or may not be annoyed that we have to shell out a couple hundred for a new modem. Apparently they tried to call at the beginning of the year because lots of customers were complaining of slow service but had our Salem number that we haven’t t had for 5.5 years. 

I may or may not have purchased two pillow shams at Hobby Lobby. They were listed as 50% off. It made them $5 each, a screaming good deal. I hate checking out there. It’s cramped, crazy with chaos, and crowded. We always have a problem with our receipt. They manually type in each price. Do they do that everywhere? They were the first items I put up, I was juggling my children, and didn’t realize that it was being processed manually so I missed them being punched in as ten each. Somehow I managed to lose the receipt on the way home. And didn’t realize I got ripped off until more than half way home. Ten each is fine, but ten bucks is a lot to overcharge. 

I may or may not have taking my family ice skating, stenciled and painted a wall, maintained a clean house all while being in agony. My darling husband kept the dishes and food going. Yesterday he spent eight hours in the kitchen doing prep for the week so I don’t have to chop, cleaning dishes, and making food for us all. I made his lunches for the week though it only took me an hour.
