Not Me! Monday - Summer Style

Mckmama- Not Me Monday

Happy Monday to you! So, once again, I'm hopping on MckMama's bandwagon and writing a Not Me! Monday post about things I most certainly did not do this week yesterday. And it has absolutely nothing to do with me making a bit of a disaster out of a fun event because that's just what I do. Because I don't.

So, first off, I did not on my own decide that the summer picnic my awesome moms' group was having would start at 6:00, in spite of the fact that 6 is really kinda late for a dinner picnic with lots of little kids. Or the fact that the calendar clearly says 5. Nope, not me!

I did not also decide all on my own that the picnic would be held at a park about 2 minutes away from my house, rather than at one about 10 miles away. Especially not when the correct name (and address) of the park was listed on the calendar and its name was really not at all similar to the one I'd imagined.

And I certainly did not discover all of this once we were in the car - 20 minutes late - because I hadn't gotten around to looking at the details until then.

I also did not decide our navigation system didn't know what it was talking about and that we should ignore its directions. Especially since we already were soooo late... and that choice didn't take us about 10 extra miles out of our way. Not at all!!

AND, once we discovered all of my mistakes, I absolutely did NOT cry a little bit about it and really, really consider not going at all.

Thank goodness we didn't do that, because then we would have missed all this...

And that would really have been a shame.
