How was school today?

"I was playing football too much and the ball kept on hitting my right arm. So now I broke it, my arm, I broke my arm! I had to go the hospital. They said it was so bad they had to cut it off." Josh said with a straight face, pointing to the empty spot where his arm used to be.

Today was the 1st day of seminary!

Artist rendering:

34 wonderful students packed in a room for fit for 20. We are all going to get to know eachother very well. Maybe too well. Never forget deodorant.

1st Day of School

Aud's spend her last day of summer cleaning her room and sleeping. She is so ready for school to start.

Preston spent his last day of summer playing basketball outside.

Nick spent his last day of summer reading an entire book in one day.

Josh spent his last day of summer playing at his friends house.

I spent my last day of summer greeting Christian at the finish line of a half marathon that he ran in. It was amazing. We are very proud of him.

I can't even run to the phone when it rings without getting breathy. Great job Christian.

The last week of our summer is devoted to watching 24 about 8 hours a day. Really a little bit less than 8 hours because each episode is only 40 minutes. We have never watched 24 before. It's a great time waster, no commercials, it's exciting, and it contains characters with actual morals, kind of. Gotta go.

10 Made Up Phobias
That Should Be Legitimate
+1 Bonus Phobia

1. Fear of chipping the front 2 teeth. Now I also fear of pictures of chipped teeth.
2. Fear of forgetting to apply deodorant. Also that someone will notice the forgotten application of deodorant.
   
3. Fear of not finding a bathroom. Until the wearing of Depends, this fear is going to thrive.
   
4. Fear of losing the remote control. Now what am I supposed to do?
   
5. Fear of being late. Nothing makes me feel like a bigger jerk than being late, that, and when I insult people accidentally.
   
6. Fear of eating something with a hair in it. A picture of this would have been just as horrifying as the real thing! You're welcome.
   
7. Fear of not clean bathrooms. Mostly just touching things in the not clean bathrooms.
   
8. Fear of revealing too much wearing a bathing suit. Who wants that? Sick.
   
9. Fear of getting lice. Also includes, pictures of lice, thinking about lice, sharing brushes, touching heads, and watching people scratch their heads or other body parts, etc.
   
10. Fear of having a child lost. Thought I lost Preston at a work Christmas party when he was a little guy and had a debilitating panic attack.

The Bonus Phobia:
surfaced after our move to Washington.

It is the fear of having a tree fall on our house. This picture sums it up well.
This fear instigates a fear of strong wind. It never ends.

10 Most Irrational Phobias

According to me.

Part 3 of the phobia rant.

1. Nomatophobia- Fear of names. How do you identify anything? Me doesn't get it.
   
2. Ambulophobia- Fear of walking. That cat is LAZY! No, he is severely ambulophobic, don't be a jerk.


3. Anglophobia- Fear of England or English culture, etc. It's not appropriate to joke about any culture. Or perhaps I have culturejokaphobia.


4. Arithmophobia- Fear of numbers. Yeah - if I were that guy, I'd be afraid too. Dumb. I know. But it's an irrational fear. "Irrational" is a math word! Is that scary? Is there a phobia for fearing the irrational?
   


5. Asymmetriphobia- Fear of asymmetrical things. Asymmetry is annoying. Come on people!


6. Bibliophobia- Fear of books. How about the fear of having to read really boring books? I've got that. I've got that bad.


7. Cherophobia- Fear of gaiety. Smiling is my favorite. This kind of smiling not so much:


8. Consecotaleophobia- Fear of chopsticks. What about fear of unrecognizable slimy food? Not a culture joke- slimy food in general.


9. Melanophobia- Fear of the color black. That's irrational..except...for fear of black jellybeans, those are disgusting!


10. Agateophobia- fear of insanity. Does fearing insanity make one insane? Who cares.
