Contents of Busy Moms Purse

I am pretty sure that the contents of my purse say a lot about me and as I searched for change today I realized it has gotten out of control and I need an intervention.
  • 2 Small bags of peanutes
  • Neutrgena Lip Stuff
  • a beaded necklace that Molly was wearing
  • Loose M&M's everywhere
  • The Wizard of Oz DVD
  • 2 yellow envelopes - one with christmas receipts and one with coupons
  • my wallet - open and most of the contents dumped
  • a brush
  • motrin
  • nail polish
  • nail polish remover pads
  • a Venus Gillette Razor (huh?!?)
  • Crayones
  • 5 pens
  • Tide To Go Pen
  • eyeglass cleaner cloth thing
  • hand cream
  • hand sanitizer
  • matches
  • a pad of paper (small/cute)
  • paystub
  • old broken watch
  • old lipstick
  • tons of loose change
  • lansinoh wipes sample
  • One size 4 diaper (molly is in size 5)
  • sunglasses
  • my old wallet
  • ipod
  • ipod arm holder
  • earbuds
  • 5 lists from last week
  • 2 prescriptions I need to get filled for updated vitamins for the girls
  • a recipe for crab dip
  • Molly's 15 month stats the nurse wrote down for me

Umm...how big is your purse?

Kelly said...

I know what jessica means...are you carrying around a gym bag as your purse???

I have nothing unusual...unless you think a plastic container full of green and red m&m's is weird. And I'm thinking most of the people who read your blog won't think that is strange.

If Emily is still carrying her AWESOME purse - its pretty big. Mine is too, but the strangest things I have in there is dirty tissues, several random pieces of cereal (kix, I think), receipts, coupons, gum, gum wrappers, handi-wipes, a crappy memory card reader that doesn't work, wallet (intact - THANK YOU), small bag of lipstuff and hairthings, small wallet of discount cards, cold medicine, and a necklace I wore WEEKS ago!

And the strangest thing I have in my purse is a corkscrew. Hey, a girl's gotta be prepared!

emily said...

I think I need a corkscrew! Good tip :)

I may have to borrow your post idea as I finish up November. I think you need a picture of your gigantic purse.

Mommy said...

By the way...I'm wearing the necklace I found in my purse yesterday!!

That is so funny....and presicely why I downsized into a purse that fits my cell phone, keys, wallet and a tube of lipgloss.

(oh and a set of 8 knitting needles and a crochet hook I've never taken out of the package)

Open Ricola cough drop bag - lots of cough drops "on the loose"
Tube of lip balm

4 pens, one of which is in pieces
Two pkgs of tissue - both open (one with gum stuck in it)
Supersmile quickie no brush tube
Bottle of pills for my dog
