Recaps and things.

I didn't mean to just take off there. 

Honestly, speaking out loud is just so much effort lately. I talk all day. And all night. And all weekend. I don't have the effort to find the words to type. You can find me sharing my thoughts on Stories almost all the time though. Sitting at my computer usually means I'm doing some sort of school work. 

To recap the last couple of weeks...it's been hot, as usual. 

Scout had a rough hunting trip last week so he earned himself a special trip to the vet. Scott thought he was actually dying for a day or so there. Ugh. The vet told me there's nothing wrong with him....I'm not even kidding. She just said "he's 11". He still has a bit of a limp but seems to be okay.

Sutton at daycare. 

If I could recommend one professional development activity for you, it would not be LETRS. This course is, yes, full of useful knowledge. It's just incredibly impractical to be taking in all this information and be in the classroom at the same time. It's a huge time suck and I get absolutely nothing out of it. Last year I got a stipend for passing part one and now I'm in part two. Absolutely not worth a few hundred dollars. The amount of at-home work that needs to be put in...it's multiple college credits' worth.

And yeah, we meet at a restaurant this year. 

I jumped on the Arbonne train for this supplement. I like it. I'm giving it 30 days and we'll see if I feel like investing more than that. 

Lunch-packing. Sutton gets breakfast too. I wish I could get Wells to eat breakfast at home but he's never hungry. I've started packing both lunches now and I'm hoping to grab some more bentgo boxes in the upcoming prime sale in two weeks. 

I found the Daniel Tiger toy! It was 100% in the barn but now I'm looking for a piece to the Skip Hop table so I can sell it. 

Also these great pieces of fake food that you sort by color. 

Still looking for that black skirt (RIP). 

I've been buying these lately. 

This is such a bargain. Just used up the last of the bag so it's going on the Costco list for next month. 

Neither of my kids really like candy corn so that's good for me. 

Last week was *Farm Safety Day* at school. Among other things, they showed the kids the safe way to get someone's attention if they are on a zero-turn mower or a tractor. (Out in front at a 45 degree angle, wave your arms.) It's rednecky for sure, but this has definitely come up at our own house so maybe Farm Safety Day is for us after all. They didn't go over what to do when your dog won't stop jumping up on the tractor or mower though while it's moving. Which is something that comes up here a lot.
