My horrific trip to the grocery store.
Today the baby and I went grocery shopping in Corpus, which is about an hour away from our house. Anyway, everything was going well until it came time to check out. The grocery store that I shop at has the tightest check out lines ever. The cart barely fits through the lane. Meaning, the candy is in arms reach of the baby so I have to hold her while I pay to minimize the mess. It's usually not a big deal because I quickly pay with my debit card but today, of course, I forgot my debit card at home and I had to write a check while I manage to hold a squirmy one year old. I tried to keep her hands off the food bank display (the one where you buy a slip of paper to make a donation for $1, $3, or $5) but I failed and she knocked it down and the papers flew everywhere. Ugh. I managed to pick them up and quickly tried to get out of the sore.
Then all of the sudden I got this sensation that I needed to go to the rest room. Like now. And then it dawned on me I didn't have any tampons and I really, really needed one. Like badly. I didn't even think I could make it out to my car to unload the groceries and look for a tampon. Plus I didn't want to ruin my new jeans if you KWIM. Ugh. So I found the manager and asked him to watch my cart while I ran to the bathroom. Luckily I found a lady on the way who had a tampon to spare. I get in the bathroom and I go to put the baby down so I can do my business and I discover she lost one of her shoes in the store. Eff! I can't put her down barefooted in the public restroom. Some how I managed to do my business WHILE holding the baby. I am not really sure how, but I did.
I thought my troubles were behind me but as I was leaving I grabbed my purse off the back of the door and it didn't come completely off the hook and I dumped my purse all over the floor. In a public restroom. And the cap of Diet Coke I just bought busted on the floor and soda sprayed every where. All over my stuff. Remember, the baby lost her shoe so I couldn't put her down and I had to clean everything up with the baby in my arms. Again.
OMG, I wanted to cry. I am extra hormonal since I started my period today and I felt like those were the 5 unluckiest minutes of my life!

I love my crazy child!
My Bio
Yes! It was the same grocery store! I hate going to there, it is like a zoo. Always packed full of people, even on a Monday morning. It's the largest grocery store I have ever been in. But they sell EVERYTHING and ANYTHING so it's worth the hour drive. I mostly go there so I don't have to buy our meat at Walmart. But holy helll, there are some weirdos that hang out there! I still feel a little creeped out when I go there (and I never wear dresses).

Oh my, that is a horrific trip to the store! I hope your day gets much, much better!
Wow, that's insane.
P.S. Did you find Macy's shoe?
Haha. No, it's lost somewhere in the store! At that point I was so ready to get home I said eff it. They weren't overly expensive shoes, thankfully!

Oh, wow. I have no children, but I can just imagine the whole ordeal. Wish I could have been there to at least help hold your little darling or something! Here's hoping that was the extent of your drama for the week!

I think the moral of this story is that you made it through. Diet Coke covered and with a shoeless baby, but all things considered, I'd say that's dayum good.
