Thanks for asking???

Let me start by saying that the title of this blog was originally going to be "No, but Thanks for Asking." Why? you may ask. Well, many years ago I began responding to many questions with this response. Over the last few years I have used this phrase...sometimes with success and sometimes not. Let me give you some examples:



Successful-

Can I go home? I don't feel like school today.

Can I have a cupcake for Breakfast?

Can I do my homework at breakfast tomorrow?

Can we have a little brother?

...to each of these I successfully responded "No, but Thanks for Asking!"



Now here are the Unsuccessful atempts to use this response-

Do you think you and Pat will ever get married?

Mom, can we have a puppy?

Would you be interested in moving to California?

Would you like to live with your family in a 20 ft camper while you look for your house?

And last but obviously not least...Are you going to write a blog?

....OK, OK, you can stop laughing....I know who you are!



So now to the joy (or maybe I should say humor) of my friends and family, I am going to attempt to write and more importantly remember to update a blog.



I hope you enjoy hearing about what is happening in our lives- the good, the bad, and mostly, the crazy!
