Just call me Bag Lady!


Well so... randomly up way too late, or too early as the case may be.  Leftover cough from the pneumonia keeps waking me, plus my mind racing with some other health issues that I will go into more when I get confirmations of test results and talk more with my family.   But please if you have a moment, send me a prayer and good thoughts, k?  Thanks =)

SO... Bags.   Take a look around your house.  Do you even realize how many bags you have?  I swear its crazy!   The thought came to me the other day as I was getting Dottie ready for school. She had Brownies in the afternoon, and needed a lunch that day because she had a field trip.  The child walked out of the house with 3 bags!  Her bookbag, her brownie bag, and her lunch bag.  Crazy right?  So it got me thinking.    How much do we really use all of these tote bags and backpacks we seem to have been collecting.   For this child alone, besides those three bags, she also has a bag for CCD, a bag for her multitude of barbies,  a bag for her small toys, another bag for doll clothes, yet another for her crafts.  And I know I haven't gotten them all!

For me?  I have a bag for school, a laptop bag, a make up bag, a purse or two (not used together lol) A bag for my sewing stuff, and them some bags that I store stuff in my closet with.    Brianna has her school bag, another drawstring bag that she uses often. and i believe another tote bag she uses on a regular basis, plus a few that she has floating around her room.    Catie just has a ton!!   She's got bags in her closet that I don't think she even knows what is in them!   But she has her purse, her bag for Harmony, a bag to use for gymnastics, another to use for sleepovers,  then not only does she have a bag for clothes for that but for all the other "essentials" she feels the need to take with her.  She has a bag for all of her toiletries, and a few other bags in her room that are full of stuff.. OH YEAH her CD bag as well.    I know John even has a couple he uses!   Backpack,  bag for his MMA stuff, and I'm sure even more.  Its really funny, because even when Bri's boyfriend comes over, it is rare that he doesn't have a backpack or something with him..  And when my future daughter in law comes over, she always has at least one with her as well!   

So in my mind I start piling all of these bags up.  One on top of the other.   And I think it would look something like this, ( found on Bungalow Babe's blog )

Crazy right?   Yeah my mind thinks in mysterious ways.  But think about it, and go through your own closet and house and see.  I think you will be surprised by the amount of bags you have and how they have taken over your organizational skills!!   And think of me with a giggle ok? =)

Til later times,
