The Bag Lady

 
Ok, this is a what works for me post....I am a bag lady.  Not the kind who lives on the streets, but one who definitely lives out of a bag.  Case in point, these are my two "work" bags.  One I carry to work everyday with my mail to read, umbrella, sometimes lunch (encased in it's own "lunch" bag), etc.  The other is a bag I use while at work for when I have appointments, etc. 
 
I also have my library book bags at home.  By the way, I frequent 3 different libraries.  I have my church bag and my children's church bag.  I have started to combine these two.  We also use to have a 4H bag, we have a piano bag, and the list goes on and on.  If I did not have my bag system, I would be A Mess!!
 
I must admit, I am a complete and total lover of all things totes.  I have so many, I would probably have heart failure if I tried to count up the number I own.  I practically become giddy when I go to a conference and a free tote bag is included!!  I was also very disappointed when my youngest daughter said she could just use her school bag from last year....really?? 
 
I do feel like this system works for me, and I am an easy person to buy for because of this little obsession of mine.  However, my shoulder would probably like a break, and I also still carry a purse....that obsession would be a complete other post.
 
And that dear friends, is something that works for me!!

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
