just thinking of more words like normalcy

I was just thinking of more words like normalcy(I mentioned how that word annoys me, and sounds fake and has irritated me since it's overuse in the days/years following 9-11)Just in case any of the media need a new catchy NON word to get our attention again....

Seriosity.(as in;The seriosity of the situation continues to increase.)
Complacentness.(as in;The complacentness of the misinformed seems to be growing.)
Absurderocity.(as in the absurderocity of things is getting out of hand.)

In short, the mediocreness of our (general public) education system is learning all the persons of the future to get lame talking skills and the media just embraces whatever gets attenticated to and then it looks like a real word, and it's a viciousterocity of a cycle,and......well, it just really needs to get suffixed!

UPDATE

So, it is now July,and our lives have returned to a normality of sorts(I dislike the word normalcy-sounds made up.)Shaun has a job, AND he likes it!Yaya!At Deluxe running a press.He works afternoon-night shift, so evenings are odd but it's great to be employed!Once we get used to our new schedule, it will be awesome.Also, Shaun has his own truck for commuting.A tiny mitsubishi-cool!We have a van during the day!!!!Wow.The blessed trick is finding time when I have few enough kids to fit in and go somewhere.I'm watching 2 boys on Mon and Tues, and 2 other boys on every other Tues and Sat.:)All get along great together, and we have a kid in the house from each year from 1-10 except 7 and 9!(there are two 6 yr olds though.So I don't think the 7 counts.:)
The health concerns we had in June are all healed:)Thank Goodness.
My own healing was aided in the chance to doula for Eagen.I kicked my own fears and cares of possible inabilities by helping her realize her own fantastic birth!!!!!SUCH a terriffic experience!Thanks Eagen,Yony and Miguelito!
I finally got the garden going,and I just love to garden!Such a great activity.:)
The laminate is all in, and we are on occasion turning attention to a bit of tile instalation in the entry and soon in the kitchen "spillway" by the sink,dishwasher,fridge and oven.
I've even had the chance to get back to some knitting, and learned a new stitch yesterday-"bobble"fun,crazy stitch!
The final step to rebuilding our lives is the instalation of regular activities.We've missed a couple months of our homeschool playgroup,and knitting.Bellydance may be out, but I am determined to try bringing all the kids to the playroom there and HOPE it works out!I SO need that class in my life!:)And with the use of the van in the evenings we will begin regular attendance at the Treehouse museum again, but now for the participlays!FUN!
Crazy fun updating!

I love....

I love that the front room is clean
I love that Pearl fed me nacho cheese chips while sitting on the counter as I did a load of dishes this morning
I love that we have clean dishes
I love the pulled pork in the crockpot we are having on toasted buns for dinner
I love when four year olds take 3 hour baths
I love when cousins come over and keep all the kids playing in the yard all afternoon
I love gardening with kids!
I love the Dr.Pepper and junior mints sitting by me
I love that today is FAR better than yesterday, and infinitely better than the day before.
(and I really like hulu.)
