Non-Published Posts

For any of you who blog, do you ever start posts, save them, then never finish them? I've got a few waiting around. So instead of actually doing them, I thought I'd just do a post and share some of the thoughts I've never actually finished.

1. Post title: Dinner Party
What I have: I'm a frequent reader of Mormon Mommy Wars, a delightful blog of Mormon mommies. There was a post about if you could invite anyone to dinner, who would it be. You can read the post here. It really made me think. Who would I invite? And not just that. It made me think about the wonderful women in my life.
Where I was going: Right off the top of my head, I don't really remember what I was going to say here. I think I wanted to talk about my mom, my sister, my sisters-in-law, friends, my grandmothers, and my women ancestors who have all influenced my life. I feel such pride being surrounded by such wonderful women. It makes me try harder and hold my head up a little higher.

2. Post title: Motherhood
What I have: I've been thinking a lot about being a mom lately.
Where I was going: I've actually thought about this post a lot. The right words just never came. What I wanted to convey was that motherhood is hard. It sucks sometimes. You run around all day doing stuff for other people. It's always about your kids. It's tiring. But there are things about motherhood that make it all worth it. Not just worth it; these things make you forget about all the crap (literal and figurative) that come with being a mom. Like your child's face when they smile. Making them laugh. Seeing the look of wonder on their faces when they learn something new or conquer a new milestone. Being the first person your children go to for ANYTHING, the good and the bad. Hugs. Kisses. I Love You's. And so many little, precious, beautiful moments. Motherhood is hardest thing I've ever had to do, but it's also the best thing I have ever done and ever will do.

3. Post title: Albuquerque, Pt. 1
Where I was going: Okay, this post will actually happen. We took a trip to Albuquerque in October to visit my MIL and FIL. I wanted to show off all the great activities we did and pictures I took. It became very overwhelming. So, I decided to do one of those slideshows, which I completed, but then Hubby took my computer, so I'll put it up as soon as I am reunited with Hubby.

4. Post title: Random Thoughts
What I have: I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, but none of them merit a post by themselves. So here's a compendium of thoughts for your enjoyment (or maybe just mine). As I get older, as my knowledge grows, and as I become more aware, I never cease to be amazed at how stupid people are.
Where I was going: No idea. As the title suggests, it was going to be completely random. I love that last line though. I really wish I remember what I was going to say next, but really, I don't think I need to. That pretty much explains my reaction to a lot of things.

There you go. Now I can move on and not feel so bad about never finishing these.
