Inspired by my own use of "homeless" person, which I realized is full of irrational assumption. Plenty of the folks we see pushing bags are just really into their bags/collections/possessions. Mentally ill, sure, but homeless? How can I possibly know that, yet I throw the term around anyway. Maybe your daughter grow up to have a lovely home, full of possessions, and if she chooses to push them around in a shopping cart as a weekend hobby, well then I hope she can do it proudly.RookieMom Whitneyhttp://www.rookiemoms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218536223775349882.post-25247861001936368662010-07-12T22:26:44.074-07:002010-07-12T22:26:44.074-07:00Noa is the same way and has been since she was abo...Noa is the same way and has been since she was about two. I realized fairly soon that she was simply modeling herself after me!<br /><br />In 1995, I arrived in Charles de Gaulle airport after having spent a year in Budapest; my sister met me at the airport and was horrified to see that I had travelled with 7 bags: two had zippers, one was a rattan woven basket, and then there was a paper bag and three plastic bags, including one with an old Dutch rack for hanging chickens!<br /> <br />I've tried to cut back on bags since I saw my reflection in Noa but haven't changed that much.<br /><br />Do you walk out of the house with more than one bag? Is it full of different things?!?<br /><br />(Are we going camping this weekend?)<br />xokKatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218536223775349882.post-45354391831236701322010-07-12T12:37:07.653-07:002010-07-12T12:37:07.653-07:00Isn't there a reality show for that?

Hey,...Isn't there a reality show for that?<br /><br />:D<br /><br />Hey, Susie, hope you're having a great trip. Hope you're not melting in the heat, either. I had to travel by myself with toddlers quite a few times, so I FULLY sympathize with you! I had to remind myself that it might be hell, but the pain will eventually stop.<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comment and visits. And have a fantastic summer!Bella Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139728758198482234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218536223775349882.post-26989375704124346512010-07-11T04:33:49.410-07:002010-07-11T04:33:49.410-07:00So funny, my girls used to pack bags like that too...So funny, my girls used to pack bags like that too. Going through them and putting each little random piece away is most definitely the worst part. Thankfully, they are starting to outgrow this habit, so there's hope yet. <br /><br />Rec'd my print and love it, thanks. Hope you had a great vacation, looks like you were on the east coast for a nice heat wave...ugh.AG Ambroulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047802869910512121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218536223775349882.post-13343009997069362692010-07-08T18:45:25.786-07:002010-07-08T18:45:25.786-07:00omg you are funny.

In Austrlia (and Europe and SA) most phones are unlocked. I know that from my research that you can buy legally unlocked phones in the states. There is maybe only 1 or 2 dealers, but try searching buy.com They are a bit more money up front but then you have the freedom of choosing your own provider and you can use it in other countries -- you just have to buy new SIM cards and stick them in.<br /><br />the phone is really brilliant -- i now see why they are so popular. i love mine and can't imagine life without it!<br /><br />x, d<br />ps: on our flight home my daughter was sick with a gastro and was vomitting and had explosive diarrhea. i kept thinking of your story and was just happy i didn't have two kids.DRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069592736539040000noreply@blogger.com
