Crazy Month of June: Decided to Ditch the Purse

A Fanny Pack Instead?

It all began earlier this week. I was so wound up at work, and with all the kids' end of year activities I had been running around like a chicken without a head. With all of these things piling up I still manage to volunteer and help out with the class party (Why?). So now I have to make 23 goody bags and find a craft to keep a bunch of 9 year-olds from getting bored to death. Because naturally there is not enough for them to do in today's busy world. Naturally.

So, I am at the dollar store looking for a bunch of knick-knacks to fill these bags, then suddenly my cell phone rings. I have different items in my hand trying to decide which they would like most. Although, I know they will end up in the garbage after a few seconds of opening up the bags. But I insist in trying to find the best one. I reach for my phone and it's my daughter wanting to know if she can have a play date. This was a real important call (yeah right), but now I can't find my little pieces of junk. Thinking I put them back I grab more "stuff." As I am at the register I start to look for my wallet and out come the original items that I had in my hand. Totally embarrassed and a line full of strangers I start to unload my purse. All along I am trying to explain my pathetic "run around life" to a 17 year-old clerk named Donna who could care less. Now I am forced to buy 3 more pieces of scrap that will surely end up in the trash before I make it home.
