From Mama Kat’s writer’s workshop: What do the contents of your purse “say” about you?
My purse isn’t as big and bad as most moms who carry enough stuff for every situation. I don’t even carry a spare maxi pad. Clearly I’m not prepared for anything and I don’t take life seriously! So what is in my purse?
Necessary things…like…driver’s license. I am a registered and competent driver of the state of CA (must be true, I have the proof).
My keys, which I finally found after a week of using the spare set. They were in my trunk! Don’t ask.
A coupon for free shaving cream..expired.
Lots of tissues, mostly used. ew.
Chapstick…my drug of choice.
Craft idea torn out of doctor’s office magazine. I impressed my son when I said, “This ain’t ours but I’m takin‘ it anyway!” He could hardly stifle his giddy laugh as the doctor came in…
Checkbook (but who writes checks)…
Various discount cards and reminder cards.
Juice -it-up…I may be out without the kids one day..and may treat myself. Let’s hope it happens before the end of the year when the whole book expires!
Dead dandelion…proof of child’s love for me.
Trail mix (expired)…I really want to make good snacking choices when I’m out, but after being in my purse for 3 months time to throw this sucka away. Why kid myself..I don’t even like it.
So, my purse clearly shows, I have a runny nose, dry lips, missing out on the deals and not health conscious! But I am loved!
