Didaskaleinophobia

That's it folks, no other news, just the word of the week! I wish I could see/hear y'all trying to sound some of these words out. That would be so much fun. Have a good one!



The Answer is....


Didaskaleinophobia: Fear of School (when I chose this word, I was not liking school too much)!

It's Monday...Where is my laundry Helper?



A couple of weeks ago when my brother and his family were home, my neice K (age 2 1/2) wanted to know where everything was. I guess she wanted to make sure Aunt's house had all the important items... potty, bathtub, washer and dyer. I quickly took her around and showed her where all of these items were. She was quite happy to know, and enjoyed following me when I had things to do. One night while they were here, she wanted to help me with the laundry. So, being the mom/aunt that I am, I put her right to work!
She loved watching the laundry get washed and she helped to "shake & throw" it into the dryer. So, being that today is a Monday a.k.a. laundry day, I am missing my helper. I love it when little ones want to help and it was fun to spend the time with her. May be she will want to help Aunt every time she comes home. I love you, K :-)
P.S. If you are wondering, yes, that is a cling-on nativity on the washer door. Those of you who know me, know I love nativities and have to put them everywhere! I think I put 3 in my new laundry room!
Also, I know that BCK are missing the other B, and I wanted them to have a little something to smile about today. Love you all!

I'm done!

Yes, you read that correctly. I am finally done with 2nd quarter reports! ABA's have been sent off, school quarterly reports are ready to be e-mailed, and report cards are done!!! Let's all do the happy dance together!
Oops, sorry if I offended anyone with my "dance".
It is quite quiet at my house today as my children are off to Grandma's for the night. Tonight we have a quarterly ( I am seeing a theme here-quarterly reports/meetings) business meeting at church and we do not like to leave them at home for that long of a time.
I guess I will run and see about doing something constructive. I do have birthday presents to wrap, no children means I could do that without anyone peeking.

This Week's Word is...

Today's word is brought to you by A.C.E. I really can't wait for the responses to this one :-0!

~ARACHIBUTYROPHOBIA~

Best of "sounding-out" to all!


BTW, I am really thankful for the "warmer" temperatures here in chilly NY. 20 degrees feels warm!

Catch you on the flip side!


~~Okay, ready? ~~

Arachibutyrophobia: fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth.

Etymology: arachi- 'ground nut'

I thought y'all would like that one! Maybe we will try A.C.E. for next week's word as well. Have a good rest of the week.
