Cleaning always has, and still is, a chore.
I try really hard to keep my house clean.
I prefer my house to be clean and tidy and orderly.
It helps to reduce stress, and so I try.
Sometimes I do an OK job.
But there are two places that never are clean.
1::my car.
2::my purse.
Today I cleaned out my purse.
If it's true that you can tell a lot about a woman from what's in her purse, I'm not sure what this says about me... {my purse loving friends are probably going to question our friendship right about now}
This is what I found -
::1 pair of mittens
::2 hats
::wallet
::phone
::2 magazines
::2 old shopping lists
::2 tampons
::lots of crumpled receipts
::lip gloss {I was looking everywhere for this!!!}
::2 pair of socks
::1 book
::headband
::pampered chef chip clips
::expired coupons
::old perscription {never filled}
::recipe for pumpkin choc. chip muffins
::flower pin
::toy butterfly
::3 squishies
::2 rocks
::broken crayons
::pen
::22 cents
::crumbs
::matchbox car
::six small toy animals {cow, sheep, dog, lion, moose, pig}
::lots of changes and misc. things stuck under the lining of the purse {???!!!}
I felt like Marry Poppins with her bottomless carpet bag.
All I need is a lamp.
I don't think I need to say that most of the things were removed from my bag and transferred to the garbage.
This is all that's left::
Besides the jingling of random change that I can't remove from the lining of my purse, I feel like a new woman carrying my organized {and much lighter} purse.
Now I'm good for a few days until my purse gets trashed again.
Then it's survival mode until next year when I clean it out again.

This post is hilarious!
A purse of a mother, that's for sure!
Ok, first, what in the world are you doing with that wallet still?!?!? You NEED to use your new one:D heeeheee!
Totally kidding you. And, as one of your purse loving friends, my purse looks like that every week. Yesterday when I cleaned mine out, I found a apple core. AN APPLE CORE?!?! That is disgusting!! I set aside an afternoon once a week to clean out my purse and car. If I don't, I look like a bag lady, or someone who lives in their car. LOVE your blog and YOU!
XOXO
So stinkin' funny! And I love that you just frankly admit that you don't think you are very tidy (though, aside from the purse fragments I would disagree with you) - I hope to be able to confidently admit that someday - k, so maybe I just admitted it - but alas, it is without confidence!!
Meg, my wife always complains that she can never find anything in her purse. I say, "Buy a bigger purse". She did. Unfortunately, it turned into a George Carlin routine. Now she has a bigger purse, she has to carry "more stuff". She complains she can never find anything. Samsonite luggage would be an improvement over what she carried now. She scares me.
I could've written this post. I'm exactly the same! Still laughing at Kelly's apple core commment. LOL
