Back to my old ways…

Beautiful New Planner with Photo Slot
That tiny little planner didn’t last long. I have to chuckle. I sort of knew it wouldn’t. It’s because for the last 10 years or so I have carried the larger planner with the 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inch pages. The pages are so much larger and so much more can be contained therein. As a friend said, you’ve got big plans!
Actually, the larger planner is so much more like a journal to me, where ever I am — waiting in a doctor’s office, while my children look for books at the library – I can take out my large planner and work up some school plans, house plans, etc. I could hardly hold onto the small planner to even write in it. Lesson learned.
Ahhhh, large pages.
The only reason I feel bad about switching back is that I wasted money on the small one, but I’ll either take it to the consignment shop or save it for someone else in the family. In addition, I splurged on a new large planner to add to my collection, but I can justify that now that I know I won’t switch back. I certainly use my large planner, and it’s not a waste of money.
Oh I LOVE my new planner. (I got it at Wal-Mart.) It’s a little more compact than some of my older ones, but the pages are the same size. It has a place for a photo of my babies on the front.
I feel more like me again.
Nothing beats a backpack.
As an aside, I have also reverted back to carrying a backpack instead of a purse right now. On the days I work, I’ll just have to lug it with me — large planner and all — and cram it in my locker and make do. I tell you, it sure feels good at break time to be able to pull my planner out and focus on home. And backpacks are really handy. They’ll hold all manner of things from home.
