What do I know?

What do I know? My eldest asks me this frequently. I don't actually know what I know and it is really very hard to quantify into words. I want to tell her that I know everything and she can never get anything by me. I'm not sure how long that will go over though and then she will know that on top of the fact that I don't know everything, I'm also a liar. Ah well, I have my beautiful baby who gazes at me like I'm his whole world. I guess he doesn't actually look like an alien anyway. Today we went to the library and it is Children's Day in India and they danced and listened to stories in Hindi and made masks that look like animals faces. They had fun doing that. I wonder why that baby is never quiet unless I have him in the sling? Probably that colic. I am super tired but I have homework to do and I have been procrastinating a long time tonight. I should have been done already, but instead I decided to build me a family website. The question you have to ask yourself is, "Will my family ever look at this? Will I forget about it completely by the time that my kids are old enough to appreciate it? Will I actually add things or will it turn out like this blog?" And after all those questions are asked, you realize it doesn't matter. Because the most you can do is try and write stuff down for your kids to remember later. If some of it doesn't get to them, well I figure that most children don't have a website that outlines all the stories that anyone in their family ever had and they porbably feel pretty comfortable in their family. I am looking into that geneology stuff though cause the family tree tool on this family website thing is awesome! If any of you do that stuff, can you tell me how long it takes and what benefits it has brought you? Do you use any websites that help you?
