We had our first snow here for the winter. It was epic...ok so it was 2 inches but that is still a lot for these southern parts where I hang my hat. I did not hear of a run on bread and milk oddly as usually when snow or ice are even hinted at in the forecast...we have a run at the store. You think we are having the blizzards that are affecting the north! And most of us down hear can't understand why people ONLY seem to buy those things out. I mean, we do use milk to cook with, and hubby drinks it with his cookies, but I guess people envision snow and baking...or lots of french toast.
That does bring me to a side bar, why is it that when it snows we all get the munchies? Or maybe it is just me that does. The sad thing is that hubster and I do not get snow days. We both can work remotely. I telecommute daily and he has the ability when he is sick, or has to be home for some reason. So work does not stop for us. Sad, as I like to go play in the snow myself. Instead, I had to stuff kids into their warmest snow clothes, thankfully we do have cold weather gear, and then send them outside.
Now since they are homeschooled they did have to finish their work first and THEN they could go play but that was achieved at about 10am that day. ha! nothing like snow to motivate you to get your work done!
And while on the topic of my children, their newest odd words they mispronounced are these:
Raveeve= (Revive). As in raveeve me mom I got killed by the frozen goblins! (Disney Infinity playing moment.)
Oddline=Adrenaline. As in, Mom, we use oddline when we get scared and want to run!
Yes my children are homeschooled...don't judge. Words aren't my thingamabob either and I was public schooled!

So I decided to change the name and also start blogging again...I had great thoughts...right as I went to bed. So I finally got my rear to the computer to put those thoughts on paper and bore others...I mean share with people.
My eldest daughter is smart but the girl can't pronounce anything to save her life. I keep a list of things she has said and I believe I have already blogged about her before on it b/c the fun never ends. So one of her latest, and my personal fav, was CherryOhKey. I finally figured out that she was trying to say Cherokee. The other day she told me she love those kind of horses while drawing. I said, "What Kind is that?" and she replied, "Air a bee in". I just looked at her. Cue long pause...I replied, "Arabian?" after I thought about it for a few. She said, "Whatever." (Did I mention she is 11 soon to be 12 going on 18 with the attitude?...yes, you can feel sorry for me later.)
She has hit puberty full swing and we all are suffering! At least when she started..."aunt flo", as my bff always called it, she didn't come home crying that she was dying....like her mother did. She was actually elated as if she earned some kind of cool badge in a game! (Did I mention she loves games?)
I pulled out my stash of pads from when I had her and watched with delight when she said, "WHAT ARE THOSE?!". I told her they might be a bit big for her but they will do and I am too cheap to go buy more for now. She used those and now I am shopping in the pad aisle again. Let me tell you, thangs changed a bit in that department. I mean an entire wall of choices based off a scale of heavy to light days. I stood and finally just knocked one in the cart. (I may or may not have had a coupon for that one as well to influence my choice but did I mention I was cheap?)
We are now in our third time on it. I only find out when I do laundry. Ick. I reminded her to keep a closer watch and head to the bathroom and put something on so I don't' have to wonder if something crawled in my laundry room to die a bloody death! But I digress....
So some of my other favorites mispronounced words are these:
Dehpooty: Deputy
Pent: Pint
Epiloogy: Epilogue
She makes my days interesting that girl....
