I was totally disgusted, completely dissatisfied, utterly shocked! If you happen to be wondering if the "strong" words of dissatisfaction are truly necessary, <em>go out and try some</em>.

<br />
<br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">My version of crafting on the go had been limited to making the bows and waiting until I got home to do the gluing and attaching the clip. One day I came across my hubby's ac-dc adaptor that he uses in his car and knew that it could be a very useful tool for bow making. The ac-dc adaptor goes into the lighter socket and has the plug attached so you can plug in your appliance. This set up made selling bows ridiculously easy, seriously genius if I could be at liberty to say so. I could make and sell a custom bow within minutes. If you are a hair bow maker or a crafter on the go, all you need to invest in is the ac-dc adaptor.
<br />
<br />Here is the my bag in the passenger seat. Yes, make sure you secure your bag, or else you'll be picking up stuff all over the place, lol. </span></div>

It is written in "spoken word format":</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Mother I Am:</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Here I stand in a place where diapers and wipes are an everyday reality. My coach bag that was once filled with high hopes and unending dreams is now stuffed with a four year olds screams and a sippy cup filled to the brim with "mommy can I" and "she won't leave me alone".<br /></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Yet I drudge on. Trying to find that one sock that was stuffed with cheerios and dirty diapers that just didn't make it in time into the trash can. And if I'd gotten that extra hour of sleep that my four year old promised he'd give me....like the unidentifiable rash that lurks in my ash tray, like old cigarettes butts accidentally knocked to the floor by a 2 year old rage and wrath.....inside the bath tub that carries the ring that I so desperately needed from the man that carries the other half of my heart.<br /></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Traveling through the kingdom of unwashed clothes and wiping dirty noses, I come to the realization that one day this will no longer be. I will look back and smile the smile of the cheshire cat and poke my chest out really far while gazing into the distance of long gone trips to the potty when he just wanted to sit and multiple details for my car when she just couldn't help but to get sick. When Power Rangers held the key to momentary happiness and bliss all sealed together with one single kiss.....Mother I am.<br /></p></span><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">This is a poem that I wrote sometime after becoming a mom. I was 20 something and had just had a baby boy, my last child. I was on a small dose of an antidepressant and trying to find my way through </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postnatal_depression"><span style="font-size:130%;">postpardum depression</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> from my second pregnancy.
