Mommy Bag

I have to laugh when I see teenagers and early 20-somethings walking around rocking those cute little, teensy tiny purses, that can hold and ID, stick of gum, and maybe a lip gloss.

Cute? Yes...laughable now that I'm a mother...Absolutely!

I have an average size purse, that on any given day has my phone, wallet, gum, Goldfish, Pretzels, army men, bouncy balls, rubber bands,band aids, bobby pins, lotion, wipes, chapstick, an assortment of change (mainly quarters for all those "red machines" and rides at the grocery store,) let's see...what else? Broken sunglasses that I am still hanging onto even though the baby bent them in half a few weeks ago, deodorant, tissues, toothpaste, an assortment of pens, some dirty Tylenol ( that seriously, given the severity of my headache, I'm willing to take,) a Rosary, some Monopoly game pieces from McDonalds...from 2 years ago...and a 1/2 eaten candy cane.

So ya, that's about it...and YES that's just in my purse! Don't even ask about the diaper bag...let's just say, if I were to get stuck in the snow for a week...between the crap in my diaper bag and the food that falls on the floor in my mini van...my family of 5 would make it through jussst fine!
