The purse of wonders

I just felt I needed to document this. My husband called my purse the purse of wonders. Now for some back story. My husbands side-- My MIL, G has a thing for purses. She loves them to be large, leather, and overstuffed. When we flew to Florida she brought 4 and bought one more when we got here. She was dragged almost forcefully from another at Target a few days ago. I really and truly do not understand how she fills them so quickly but I have seen her pull food and drink from her bags on many an occasion and I've also seen her add those things to her bag. Its frightening for me and embarrassing for her children but as she puts it, "I have to have a place to put my medicines." (This is another long enduring argument--- in her mind natural supplements are indispensable and the more she has of each kind the better) Needless to say all these things add up to seriously annoy my husband and its just one of the things that has become a pet peeve of his because of her.

My side of the story--- I had a large purse when I was in high school because when I went on choir and band trips I didn't want to take a whole backpack with me so a large purse carried a book makeup and sometimes even a pair of flip flops for comfy shoes. When I graduated one of the first things I bought was a small purse that couldn't gather too much crap in it. I bought a large one recently for all the traveling I've been doing and when we came down here it came with me. I have been uncomplainingly carrying water bottles, sunscreen, aspirin, pens, cameras and much more for the extent of our stay and today I got my recognition. The delivery guy came to the door and Jarell needed to sign a receipt but neither one had a pen. I told him to bring me my purse and I'd get him one. When handed it to me he said, "We need to get something for this that says 'purse of wonders.'" I had him repeat that as I was amazed and knew I had been paid a very high compliment from my darling dearest. For him to not only be pro purse but to give it a name is a Big Deal. I know this sounds really dorky but sometimes you just have to appreciate those simple things that the people you love do for you. It makes partnerships so much better because you focus on the positive things. I need that sometimes because I have a tendency to take out my anger at the things I can't change on the one person who means the most to me. Sad but true. And I'm not the only person I know who does this. In fact most people do at some point or another. That all said, I will be returning to my little purse when we get home because I tire quickly of being the person who has everything, does anything, and never says no or complains. For non crafters out there, don't buy it cheap because it needs to be sewn unless you can sew it yourself. Just because I can doesn't mean I want to. And if you want a bottle of water, carry it yourself. I don't want to be a human basket. I need to learn to say no, but you need to learn that I'm not here to do everything for you. Well for Jarell the breadwinner, I want to but not his mom, siblings, sibling in laws et cetera.
