Good morning folks! I almost forgot that today is Wednesday. My life has been a bit crazy this week. This week we’re still looking at word mixups, I have quite a few of them.

Lightning and Lightening. I promise, they are two different words.

The sky was lightening with each lightning strike.

o_O I feel so smart for that last one!

See the difference? Got it? Good!
