It's In the bag

My sister tagged me to share what is in my Sunday bag. So, here we go:

This is my bag. I got it free with a coupon. I got a new quad and it fits perfect in this bag.

Contents:

My quad, Teachings of the Presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ: Joseph Smith,Book of Mormon class member study guide, Mini hymn book, pad of paper for note taking, 2 Relief Society announcement papers, a stray cough drop, 1 tithing receipt, small paper with this month's Relief Society song to memorize.

In the small inside pocket:
1 mechanical pencil, 1 black ink pen, 2 red scripture marking pencils, 3 tithing receipts, 6 tithing envelopes and slips, 2 slips of paper with Relief Society scriptures of the month for memorization, 5x7 laminated copy of The Family- A Proclamation to the World- on the back is a copy of Four-ward and Four- ever, (a paper my dad gave me a few years ago with things that his ward was doing to strengthen family and ward), a 5x7 laminated copy of my patriarichal blessing


Temporary things or things that make you say Hmm?
1 purple Jolly Rancher (I think this was part of a lesson in Relief Society about a month ago- I don't eat them, so I must have just thrown it in the bag when class was over), 1 paperclip, a bag of 12 different colored buttons, 5 magnets, Primary lesson manual and a bag of candy.
The buttons were used as markers in a game we played when I substituted in Brandi's class about a month ago. The magnets were used to hang the Title of Liberty and a map of the battles of Moroni and the stripling warriors the next week when I subbed again. The manual and bag of candy are from 2 weeks ago when I subbed yet again. We had stake conference last week and the teacher hasn't come and gotten the manual yet. She gave me the candy to give to the class as a incentive to be good. 1. it was fast Sunday- so I didn't use it, 2. I don't believe in candy as an incentive or substitute for preparation and engaging lessons.
I took out the Sunday School lesson books. I am the permanent Sunday School substitute and for a while I took all the books with me in case someone didn't show up and I was needed last minute, but it was too heavy to carry as a just in case, and if I am really needed last minute, it is a short walk around the corner to come back and get the specific book I need.
Notice that there was not a Primary song book in my bag.
Tomorrow will be a book review post for a blog tour. After that, I will be reading.

Indeed.

Ya' know if leaders were to read their handbooks, they would see there are to be no food of anytype in Primary. ONLY if it is a part of the lesson and then the Parents have to be notified beforehand. This seems to be a real problem. the leaders of the church saw fit to put that in there for a reason. I have a real problem in my wards. Some have even said "I don't care I will do it anyway. I probably opened a can of worms with this one, but it is my pet peeve. I can't even take my scriptures now, because they weigh too much. Bet you never thought the word of the prophets would be to heavy Love Mom

Well, you know how I feel about treats at primary. When I was in the Primary Presidency that was my biggest pet peeve. I alway highlighted it on the handbook page that I made sure each new teacher had.
I also told you about the family in our ward that had a diabetic child, but didn't know it and she would come home sick every Sunday until it was figured out. Or how about my kids that just don't eat candy. Or even more important- our leaders have said Don't Do It!
(but then, my kids never got a bottle after they were 1 and no cheerios etc afte they were old enough to go to nursery. It's not like they are going to starve before they get home)

And I thought about you when I said my bag was too heavy with the manuals in there. We'll have to get you a Palm Pilot so you can download them and I am pretty sure that one of those doesn't weigh over 7lbs. ;)
Love you

Ya, I just love it when they bring everybody chocolate....then Tanner just feels left out. Then there is the not paying attention to what is going on because all they can do is worry about what the treat is & watching it instead of the teacher. And my kids too...no bottle after 1 year old & no treat or even toys or anything after they went to Sunbeams (or maybe before, I can't remember for positive) I just love watching the TEENAGERS that are coloring during Sacrament meeting for crying out loud!
