The Low Down in Bullet points

I feel like I have been behind the 8 ball when it comes to keeping up with the stuff of life (like paperwork, blogging, laundry, making proper meals for my family) but here is the scoop....

• Potty training Riley (we had a relapse when dear Phineas came on the scene and are coming out of a long recovery mode. I think I was recovering as much as Riley. Thanks to my mom who was here for a week and determined to get her granddaughter back on her potty game.
• Dealing with broken down cars....we are in desperate need of a work truck. Ours leaks power steering fluid like a sieve, you have to push it to start it, etc. etc. etc.
• 2 Weeks of various "Inner Healing" type training.
• My sweet G is starting 1st grade....proud, concerned...will he be challenged enough? obedient enough? cool enough? uncool enough.....
• Having my kitchen overtaken by Kombucha mothers, Caspian Sea Yogurt and Kefir and some sort of KimChee veggie. Scott is all about the fermented stuff and I think he needs his own special little kitchen complete with sink, stove top and fridge.
  
• Lot's of yard work...new beds, bamboo, play area complete with huge sandbox and special kiddie mulch.
• Healing from a 2nd degree burn on the chest and tummy from a tea spill at Starbucks.
  
• Falling in love more and more with my children.
  
• Vigilantly protecting my date night with Scooter
• Thinking about old friends...the ones that got away because of time or offense.
  
• Sorting our garage - not an easy task with all those tools, etc.
  
• Dreaming of the ocean (always dreaming)
• Praying for those lost in my family with a new sense of urgency and grief over the ramifications of their choices thus far.
  
• Figuring out what I actually like to do in my spare time.
  
• Sorting kids clothes since they grow like weeds.
  
• Correcting my children for the umpteenth time
• Thankful for air conditioning and electricity.
• Had a garage sale with a friend.
• Went to Montana to visit one of my best friends and then met my mom there for a visit.
  
• Planning to exercise :)
  
• Off of coffee for 6 months.
  
• Craving ice cream
• Doing a lot of laundry.
  
• Cleaned my utility Room
