I had to use an Omaha Beach reference before the true meaning of diaper bag readiness was comprehended.

You are right. So right, in fact, that you just may be making a left turn!

hilarious and i love the picture.

OH, I had a good laugh at this one! You definitely have a way with the written word Burb…and the photo of you in the back yard, with said diaper bag in tow, makes you look like…Da da da dunt da daaaaa SUPER MOM!!!!!, (which you are)…but we all know Andy is your Kryptonite!, (in a good sense)!

xo, your mama

Cute essay! At our house, we’re totally opposite. Eric’s got a ultra cool, camo Diaper Dude, and that thing is brilliantly packed. Me? Eh. I’ve never had an *official* diaper bag. I throw a pod in my oversized bag, a drink and snack for Theo and that’s about it. I love going out with Eric and the kids. 🙂

ps..Love your new header. I think it’s my favorite one of yours yet.

hahaha. i love this post. so funny and i can relate. it’s good you can laugh it off ’cause i can take my husband down at the first infraction of say…removing the precious ‘car’ wipes or stroller from my vehicle.

nothing worse in that moment:) ha. i guess there is.

i love your writing!

hilarious! and true. i’ll never think of lasagne the same way again. it’s so unfair that if you want it your way you have to do it yourself. if i don’t want a pile of chris’ shoes by the front door i have to remove them myself. it took 7 years to finally admit this to myself and move on.

dude. you are hilarious.

check this out: saturday morning, i’m in my yoga class, which, thankfully, hadn’t started yet, and someone comes in telling me to come to the front desk bc there’s an *emergency* so i try not to freak out and of course it is my darling husband on the phone, freaking out bc A. where is the diaper bag (where it always is! same place!) B. where are the keys (oops, my bad, in the pocket of the jacket i was wearing last night. sorry honey, namaste, and don’t you ever use *emergency* like that again.

but the inside of our bag is pretty grody. like not even as nice as lasagna.

so true that our own foibles are not nearly as annoying as our spouse’s!! i’ll take earrings and bobby pins any day over clothes that get draped every.where.

i needed a good laugh this morning. thanks. xoxo

LOVED your take on the diaper bag…and idiosyncrasies in general. Hilarious and so true!

I love it. But mostly I love your I-own-the-world pose with your diaper bag. That’s funny.

Love the new header too!

AAAHH!!! You’re so right! This drives me cuh-razy! My husband is the sweetest and most helpful and gorgeous person in the world, but he just can’t grasp the importance of strict diaper bag rules! (Also, he takes the only package of wipeys upstairs so that I’m half way through a poopy diaper on the livingroom floor and have to sprint up the steps at inhuman speed and frantically search for them before any poop hazards happen. But, who’s keeping count?)

I love how much you love Andy aka your man! 🙂

so funny!! love your blog so much. what kind of diaper bag do you have??? i need a functional one that’s not baby-ish–ick!

I see my friends with their diaper bags. And then I see those same friends with their husbands and their husbands’ diaper bags.

They have gone beyond being annoyed not being able to find the wipes when poo is hitting them in the eye and just decided, “Guess what, LOVE OF MY LIFE, you get your OWN bag. Which you can organize and stock just any old way you like.”

What they don’t then say (at least within earshot), “And if poo is hitting you in the eye and you can’t find wipes IT WILL BE YOUR OWN DAMNED FAULT.”

Too much?

I’m just saying. I can’t imagine having anyone rooting around in my purse, reorganizing things this way and that way, so I’d be the first one on individual diaper bags.

We nearly got divorced because Seth used to go digging in the diaper bag (for whatever he was looking for!) like a puppy digging for a bone, a wake of crap behind him. Sigh….no more diaper bag!

Oh Man! That made me laugh pretty hard! Seems like they all went to the same lasagna diaper bag packing class together!!

Nici..
You are awesome.. this cracked me up this morning! .. as we are in search of a d-bag.

I love this and totally sympathize. I thought I’d fight the chaos that is the diaper bag vortex by buying a small diaper bag. I am rapidly finding out that while this will work so long as I only need a few diapers and wipes and I’m providing meals, once my baby graduates to larger clothes, larger diapers, and meals that are not provided by yours truly – I’m gonna need a bigger one. Regardless, I have my own special way of packing it – it’s simple and logical… diapers stacked on one side, spare romper under the wipes on the other… diaper changing cloth on top of everything. The pockets have their own special stuffings… But no matter what I ask my husband to put in there – even if it’s just ONE thing of a sort that is already in there – somehow everything is completely rearranged. It boggles the mind.
