What's In Your Purse?

"I can't find my keys!"  I thought I put them in the side pocket.  Oh there is my fingernail file that I was looking for.  Oh, well.  Now where are my keys?  Wow! Why does anyone need four lipglosses?  And two of them are the same color.  Back to my keys.  I really need to start using the keyfinder.  That is such a neat little gadget.  You hook it to the side of your purse and there they are when you need them.  "Then why don't I use it?"  Lotion, coupons, receipts, open bilfold, gum, gum wrappers, ooh...gum wrapper with gum, earrings, more receipts, date book (need to schedule time to clean out my purse), and much more.  Finally keys!!! 

Does my purse say something about me?  About my home, my life?  Unfortunately it kind of does.  I am constantly organizing but never organized.  I love shopping for baskets, containers, and folders.  Everything I need to get organized.  I am "a work in progress".  Just ask my girls.  Ask them where the  toaster is?  The cookie sheets?  The cups?  Etc.  Odds are that I have reorganized the kitchen AGAIN.  Searching for that perfect arrangement.  The one that makes sense. Then why do I find myself here, in a state of disarray? 

I guess life is like our purses.  Sometimes you can find what you are looking for.  Sometimes you have to dig for it.  Sometimes you hang on to things you don't need.  And occasionally it gets turned upside down and you have to pick up the pieces and put it back together again.  

Now where is that phone bill that I need to pay?
