It's Thursday's Word of The Week

I hope y'all haven't been waiting patiently at your computer for Tuesday's word.  This week has been really busy, and I just haven't had much time to keep up with our blog.

We have been inundated with appointments; a dentist and chiropractor appointment, p t appointments, and a burial.  Plus, did I mention we are in the last week of school and it is EXAM time! Oh, my! 

I know you have been waiting, so here it is.

I read it too fast and thought it was exasperate. I was excited for a mila-second. thought I knew it. Oh well. Now I can't even think of a guess cuz I"m so depressed.

Hmmm...two weeks late. It's definately getting suspicious! :) When I read the word, "boy sounds" came to mind but that's not too proper to write on here. My guess (since it is the last week of school and exams are taking place) is: "final, to be at the end of".
