Bag Tag

I was tagged by my friend Kelly so here goes...

So as you can see from this picture I have totally not figured out how to be both a woman and a mom. Meaning that I can't quite find a way to keep the things I need on hand and have the things Charlie needs on hand. So rather than having only one bag like my more experienced mother-friends I struggle. Big time. It sure doesn't help that I'm a pack-rat in the first place or that I always like to "be prepared" (which annoys Adam to death). But what can I say? So at this point I rotate between three bags. There's my purse (in front) which lingers from my pre-Charlie days. There's the black diaper bag that oh so conveniently hooks onto the stroller handles. And there's my backpack which I'm using more and more because a) it fits more stuff and b) I can use it even when I'm "wearing" Charlie in a front carrier.

So what do I carry around in these bags? Let me tell you...
1-wallet
2-cell phone
3-day planner
4-notebook
5-iPod
6-small camera (just in case you know:)
7-hand lotion
8-chapstick
9-hand sanitizer
10-plastic bag roll (for dirty diapers)
11-diapers
12-wipes
13-diaper rash cream
14-nursing coverup
15-moby wrap
16-a couple granola bars
17-a bottle of water
18-a pacifier pod with an extra pacifier (trust me on this one)
19-a change of clothes for Charlie
20-at least 2 burp clothes (he spits up a ton!)
21-a couple pens
22-a couple baby toys
23-gum
24-a comb
25-tide stick
26-a couple bandaids
27-a blanket
28-eyeglasses cleaner (I HATE smudges on my glasses)

I think that's it. Yeah, I know it's a lot of stuff. I just can't help it! I try to travel light but it's just not my style. What I cannot figure out is what to do when I'm not with Charlie. It's such a pain to move everything all around. So if you have any tips you just let me know...

And, no I didn't forget - I tag Kim, Holli, and Becky!!
