Okay, moms, I'm racking my brain for one good word to rhyme with contrary...I'll know it when I hear it. My rhyming dictionary is buried in the basement, and I just don't have the energy...

It's for the current children's book I'm working on, and if you suggest the one I need, I will give you recognition on the dedication page! :)

So, contrary...

and the only one I've come up with is wary, and that isn't a good one.

Thanks!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you all so much...not only did I get the word I need, you ladies TOTALLY gave me about three more ideas...which is now turning this one book into a series. I LOVE it! See, this is what I needed today. I am too stressed out.

So, for the one that I'm working on right now,

MonkeyzMom won with "prairie"...it's totally what I needed.

MamB...your list made me laugh so hard...it's a children's book!!! :) However, arborary works for the theme even if the parents will have to look it up!

Amom2 and JessInTexas, I can use bury so you can both have that one!

And Kristin C, your "dromedary" sparked a whole new book, so you can have thanks for that one!

Let me know how you'd like to be recognized, unless you want me to just use your nickname from mamapedia!

I'll keep this up to date if anyone else posts...thank you all so much!

Seriously, with as much going on has been lately, I just needed a boost in my work and you all gave it to me!
