Do we really become our parents?

I'm frightened. Someone asked me today if I had any aspirin with me, so I unload my purse and dump out a bottle of Excedrin, a bottle of Motrin, a baggy of Tums, Visine eye drops, a bandaid, and a little purse sized tissue pack.

When did I start packing a first aid kit in my purse? My mother did that all the time, for which I was grateful, but up until the time I got my current job, I was lucky if I even carried a purse with me. I've always been the type to shove my money or credit card in my pocket and rush out the door. Now this purse/medical-kit stuff. . . And I was thinking I might have to get a bigger purse soon. What has my life come to? Where's the living by the seat of my pants carefree lifestyle? Does responsibility come with being thirty? What is this?

Yeah, I must admit a lot of this might have to do with the fact I don't wear pants/jeans that often anymore. It's mostly flowy type skirts that never have pockets or the occasional shorts - which do have pockes, but I've so bogged my self down with items I still need that purse. . .

I do have a backpack I use a lot - my work and school environment is the same - I think the only item I never carry around with me are the wetwipes because I never thing to buy them. Might be useful though, hmmmmm. . .

I'm lookingin my backpack right now. I've got my CD player and a two books. I guess I'm just planning for the Armageddon.
