Making It Up As We Go

Do you ever feel like you have absolutely NO idea what you are doing ? Yeah, me too. It's called making it up as you go along. My middle son likes to do this frequently with his music. He is constantly making up songs all by himself and yelling them at the top of his lungs and making up the words as he does so. It's hilarious. And yet he takes himself totally serious and really feels that someday these songs will be heard on the radio for everyone to enjoy. I love it.

My other son is the fountain of knowledge. His brothers are constantly asking him for the answers to their major questions in life like, "Where does Santa live?", and "Are we going to shoot a big elk on the next hunting trip", or How come mom and dad like to yell?". And believe me if he doesn't know the answer, he will make one up that actually makes sense to the other boys. What fun!!!

I don't feel like I have all of the answers on a daily basis. My oldest child likes to ask me questions about space, dinosaurs, science, biology, math, and the speed that a bullet leaves a gun. I rely heavily on the Internet for my answers. It's annoying to not know the answers to seemingly easy questions.

My children want to know when the new house is going to be done. They want to know what we are having for dinner at 6 a.m. in the morning. They want to know why they can't have friends over to our house all of the time. My answer? I don't know or I don't want to. That's it. And unfortunately that is not a good enough answer. So they pester me until I have to stop whatever it is that I'm doing at the moment and tell them to LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!! Yep, Making it up as we go.
