what's in your wallet
James is doing a video shoot tonight and so I find myself just waiting around for him to get home. So I watched some random shows on t.v., perused the internet, cleaned up the house, and then I decided that it would probably be a good idea to make sure that I am ready for playgroup tomorrow since we are headed downtown. I pulled out my bag and I was looking through it to see if I needed to add snacks, or diapers and wipes, you know the regular stuff, but then I looked on the counter and started laughing. Did I really carry all this stuff around everyday? So I thought that I would give everyone that takes a peek at our blog what this mom of two totes around. And yes I really do use all this stuff.
Looks like madness right. Well both my parents were avid scouters, and you know how they are "always prepared" not that I am saying that I blame them that I carry around a hand held yahtzee game, but I do think that I picked up a few things from them. So just for kicks I did a small break down, if you are embarrassed to know me right now you don't have to keep reading.
Now that I have two kids interested in toys, I have to bring some for each. Baby and kid kinds, and the plastic bag is also toys like dolls, brushes, bracelets, Gwen stuff.
I like to think that I am ready for anything with this little kit that I put together when I first had Gwen. Since then it has been modified for real life use, like stain remover, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, band aids and ointment, nail clippers, and some lady products. A girl needs tissues and I can't leave the house without a spare binki! I don't want to know what terror might ensue without one.
Food! snacks are tops, and this includes formula, when we are leaving the house there is a bottle and a cup in there for each kid, and this is slim on the treats from normal days.
Activities are a must. Gwen clips through wanting to do different things all the time, so if we are going to be somewhere like church one must be ready to entertain for a few hours. So we have books, pens, notepad, stickers, paper, crayons (one for Gwen and for a friend). The lea is not normally in there but it proved useful this last Sunday. The camera is always in the bag for whatever might come up, along with diapers and wipes, wallet, keys and phone tag along in there too.
Then there are some randoms like cash (not seen much around the bag), stamps, gum, ward phone book, hair ties for Gwen, spare kid socks?, a battery, chapstick, and a ton of change.
So now that I have revealed myself to everyone I think that it would be fun to see what others carry around. You don't have to bust everything out, but I know that I would enjoy it. Sierra if you are reading this your mom would put me to shame. I think that she would double what I have, easily. So ladies open up your bags and lets see what's in your wallets, or bags.
