Lately it seems like I never have anything worthwhile to say. I'm not sure why I ever thought that I did? Everything I try to write about feels repetitive and boring.
I really like the suggestions received after my last post but have yet to try them out. In a word, I'm still feeling blah about writing.
Instead of something complete, I give you Titles of Posts I've Recently Attempted:
"Strictly Speaking": I started to write about things I am strict about and things I am not so strict about in the parenting world. I thought it would be fun to read the potential comments from others. Much to my surprise, I have a longer list in the "not strict" column. But I know there are more things I am strict about- I just can't think of them. Mike was not helpful...
"Firsts": This was supposed to be about the things that Chloe was the first to do (like putting a toy in the toilet) despite the fact that she is the 3rd child. I thought it was a cute idea and had a list of 5 or 6 things in my head--a list that all but vanished the second I started to type. Mike was once again not helpful...
"Patience": In which I wanted to discuss losing all sense of patience with my kids and maybe trying to figure out how to get it back? It went nowhere fast...
We are going away this weekend to celebrate Mike's grandfather's 90th birthday. This is the original Michael Peter, my husband's and my son's namesake. I am very excited to get away for a 4-day weekend & out of our usual routine. Maybe it will help me hit the reset button so-to-speak.
On the plus side, I have lots of new books to read and sometimes that encourages me to write. I just got a book called "Beyond the Sling" which is about attachment parenting and was written by the actress that played "Blossom" back in the day. I think it will be an interesting read.
I'm not documenting the little moments and it's bothering me. I also haven't taken any pictures in a loooong time so I need to get back on that as well. Sometimes it seems that my little ones are growing by the minute and I don't want to forget the little things.

I think it's kind of funny you didn't have the patience to write a post about patience. Seriously, though, those ideas all sound good. Maybe if you keep them tucked in the back of your mind the details will fill themselves in when you get your writing mojo back. And you will.
StephLove stole my comment on the no patience for the patient post! hee hee.
I've also hit a blogging lull, and oh well. I like your idea of attempted but abandoned- er, filed ideas to do later :)
Pax, K
I love that strictly speaking idea! I think my strcit list would be longer than my not strict list, sadly. I'm a work in progress.
