I like Big Bags and I cannot Lie...

Sorry for the horrible Sir Mix Alot pun. I couldn't help it. I really do like big bags. I remember back in high school and college when I refused to have a "purse." I didn't want to be a "purse girl." Whatever that was. I don't even know what I was trying to avoid. I just didn't like seeing people carry around their backpacks and then a purse too. Why don't you just consolidate into one bag? It looked like too much of a hassle.
It is sort of like "I'm never going to drive a mini van." Well that idea quickly went out the window as soon as the kids started to come. Safety, fuel efficiency and space come first. I proudly drive my mini van now without a second thought. So back to the purse. I still had to carry my wallet and lip gloss around in something, but it was never a purse. I just casually called it a "bag." It was small. That's how I felt okay still calling it a bag. They were never very girlie. Just a plain little bag.
So like the mini van, I now love purses. The bigger the better. I love to carry my every need over my shoulder so that I am prepared for any situation. Runny nose? Got the tissue. Owie on the knee? I've got band-aides. Someone wet their pants? Here's the extra undies and a plastic bag for wet clothes. Thirsty? Hungry? You will be taken care of. However I somehow manage to always leave my sunglasses behind...oh well, I can't remember everything.
I was just laughing about my new big bag that was shipped today. I need a big one to carry the needs of 3 children. I giddiliy opened the box, slung it over my shoulder and glanced in the mirror. "That's big. I can fit so much stuff in here," I thought. "Awesome."
