Jessica said...: Love it. Most of the time I empty out my pockets at night, and then next day I pick the "treasures" up and put them back in my pockets of my pants for that day. BECAUSE I usually put them in there to carry them around to put them away where they go. I figure if I put them back in my pocket - maybe today will be the day that I actually put them away where they go. Here's to moms!!! Hip hip - horray! Hip hip - horray? We are a peculiar bunch.; July 8, 2009 at 11:56 PM
