We have come full circle, my Mom and I. Many of you know that she is no longer with us...but here we are. Full circle anyway. Have you ever heard the phrase, "Not yet, but I'm going to." Chances are is was uttered by a teenager who was just asked if their homework was done. Or maybe the question was, "Did you clean your room?" NOT YET, BUT I'M GOING TO A seemingly harmless reply...but one that (as a Mother) I am finding very frustrating. My Mom hated it as well. I know she did. When I was older and out of the house we would joke about it. And when my pre-teen children started using it I am sure she smiled (to herself...because my Mom never took the opportunity to say I TOLD YOU SO...and she had many chances to use that on me). I have one child that uses it a little more than the other, but they both do it. Today I'd like to punch NOT YET, BUT I'M GOING TO in the neck.
Thank you for listening. I will post pictures of my tree all decked out and pretty. I am very happy to say all my Christmas stuff is out and shinning!!

In turn that phrase will also come back to haunt your children. Let's hope you get to witness it someday, it is so rewarding to see.
What????? You have your Christmas tree up already? Wow!
BAHAHAHAHA! The one in our house that makes me think of us growing up is "Who left out the??? or Who made this HUGE MESS???" With the reply from all even the 3 year old "It wasn't me! I didn't do it!!" It must have been the dog!! HAHA! Love you!
