All this over a backpack?

I'm obsessed with funky, fun, colorful handbags.  The last few weeks have been very trying in the handbag department.  The amount of stuff that I find I need to carry is.........huge.  Calendar, paperwork, snacks, activities for Gregory, camera, tips for his central line.........  Also, since there has been so much going on and he really is not himself, I've been carrying him alot.  I decided that I needed a backpack.  There are NO fun, funky, colorful backpacks available that are functional and durable.  I found one that will work, but desperately lacks the funk.  So if you see me around town, sporting this backpack, I have not lost my mind.  The funk will return.  Only when functionality is not so important.
