Clearly the zippers are against me

A few weeks ago, my little wallet/change purse, which I adored, lost its zipper connection. Not being good with zippers, I had to stop using it. I looked for a new one, but couldn't find one similar, so I decided to wait and let Santa do the looking (if he would), and I started using an older, too wide, wallet that I used to use.

I found a zipper pull in the car this weekend, and had no clue what it was from. Hubby said it was from my wallet. Assuming it was from the previously broken wallet, I put it out of my mind. This morning I attempted to open the change portion of the wallet, and there was no zipper pull to be seen...and it was closed. I stuck a pen cap under it and got it open to retrieve the change I needed.

Then, when I was making sure my son had his homework/snack/lunch money, the zipper from the smaller pocket on his backpack came flying off. Apparently it happened at school yesterday, and my son was able to get it back on and working (Really?!? I tried this morning and I couldn't get it back on!), but the stitching at the end of the zipper was the problem, thus causing it to come off again. If my son is able to get the zipper placed properly again (Did I mention I can't do it? I am lucky to have a 6 year old who is good with fixing zippers...), then I will stitch the end, and the tag team effort might get the zipper in complete working order again.

However, with issues with three zippers in as many weeks...I think we may be switching to become an all-velcro family.

The velcro sounds like a good idea. The zippers are obviously conspiring!

Zippers can be little devils sometimes!

I hate zippers too. But clasps don't seem to like me much either. :(
