Thank goodness the diaper bag is enormous

Or maybe that's a bad thing..??

Rebecca just posted about how all of her childless friends make fun of her mom purse. I know how that goes - except I carry the diaper bag that has way too much stuff in it. Always have, always will (carry lots-o-stuff in my purse/bag) I decided to do the same that she has by dumping out the contents and sharing it with you. You can see just how much I have with me.. UGH! No wonder my neck hurts after we go out somewhere. Also - no wonder I need to stick with #22 on my list of things to do for the next year (own purses that CAN'T double as diaper bags)

So, here we go:

Yep - that's everything! Now, it's weird because there are things I normally have in the diaper bag that aren't there. Those things are: extra pacifier for Parker, plastic bags to put dirty diapers in, a pad of paper, an extra bottle for Parker, Tylenol for me, cell phone and quarters (just in case I have to use meter parking)
