Franticity (Fran tiss’ it tee) The act or state of being Frantic.
An example: “Maren’s life has been in a state of Franticity.”
But I think things are going to calm down. The renewed license has arrived in the mail, that’s calming right? I’m now licensed, along with my fabulous new employee and not so new but still fabulous husband, for 16 children.
Not that we want 16 children in our house everyday…but it’s there if we need it.
The training is over, we are safely into the school routine, and I’m thinking I have a good month before the Franticity of the Big Three begins.
You know what I mean…The Big Three…
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas
You start by dressing up and begging for food from the neighbors, and end up drugged out of your mind on eggnog and butter cookies, begging for presents from an imaginary fat guy.
All kidding aside, with all this begging and eating going on, you are likely to work yourself into quite a ‘frizzy’ (a cross between tizzy, and frantic).
You may even need to invent a word or two to describe your mental state.
Like: Fabulat (fab you lat) You ate some fabulous Halloween Candy but now you are Fat.
(Said after eating the ENTIRE pumpkin pie) “I’m feeling Fabulat”
Or: Frappisane (frap is sane) A mixture of Frantic, Happy, and Insane, mostly used during the Christmas season)
“How was your weekend?” “Frappisane!” “How is it having that new baby?” “Frappisane”
There you go. A bunch of usefulness to head into the week with. You are welcome.
And now, a word that I did not make up: “Apolaustic”
As in, “Being apolaustic in nature, I’m going to go have a pepsi and a twinkie.”
See ya.
