My work bag

My work bag seems to stay full and heavy!  I seem to try to "lighten" it at least once a week, but it is still heavy and full of stuff!  The bag that I currently carry is by Thirty One.  It has 7 outside pockets.  So what is in this bag?
~my daily food
~my water cup
~papers i need to fill out for kids for school, i usually have time for this at work
~spare fruit
~umbrella
~Scentsy catalog
~daily vitamins
~extra gum
~currently I have catalogs that the kids "dog eared" Christmas ideas in
~chapstick (this is a staple in every bag and coat pocket for me)

What do you keep in your work bag?

A few things we think about ourselves...

I started thinking and wondering what my kids think about themselves after my recent post about lists.  So a week or so ago, during dinner, and some family time, I asked everyone to tell me 3 things about themselves....as if they were talking to someone that they didn't know!  The results are as follows....I think I started with Isaac because the kids were little hesitant!
Hubster
~I'm a capricorn
~I have a huge drive to get things done
~Heavenly Father, my wife, and my kids mean the most to me

Oldest Child
~I like to sleep, especially in a car
~I'm creative
~I like to drink soda

Middle Child
~I'm very happy
~I'm hard working
~I'm musical

Youngest Child
~I like to ask questions
~I have one pet that is officially mine (Tubby, the guinea pig)
~I want to get my ears re-pierced

Me
~I have a strong personality
~I laugh really loud
~I enjoy reading romance novels

So there's a little about us that may not have known previously!

LISTS...

I am hoping that by posting this list of possible items to journal/list on my blog that I will post more frequently.  Have you ever seen the 30 Days of Lists?  Below is a free set!
I have been faithfully logging in but only to see if my sister (in-law) has posted about her family and their very ill baby. 
I need to be better about posting about ME and MY beautiful family.  If I've learned nothing else from Aria, it is to not take one single thing for granted.  Nothing is guaranteed, so I need to work harder to ensure even the smallest things don't go unnoticed or unsaid.  And when I've blogged or at least FB'd something, then I am more likely to remember and share.  One thing that we've noticed about our youngest is that she says that Isaac and I have more stories about Jacob and Erica than we do about her....so i have to be more diligent in spreading the wealth!  LOL
