During Ruby's nap today I left to run a few quick errands with Gary. Halfway through the first he started to lose it. Cried all through checkout and the whole way to our second errand. I just wanted to pick up a rotisserie chicken at Walmart for dinner and I knew he wouldn't stop crying until I physically picked him up and took him out of the car seat, so I decided I could easily carry a chicken and a baby.
I ran in with Gary and bypassed the carts. I grabbed a chicken by the cardboard handle and made it about 5 feet before it broke off. Chicken down, grease everywhere, me standing there with a baby, no idea what to do next. I knew I couldn't pick it up with just one hand so I went back and grabbed a cart. On my way there Gary puked. BIG TIME. So now I'm covered in puke, trying to push a cart with one hand while I hold Gary in the other. Awesome.
I get to the chicken and realize I can't get it into the cart with just one hand. So I carefully lay Gary in the cart (this is where I start to get some very judgey glances from the other walmart customers). I grab the chicken real quick and then grab Gary. He was TOTALLY secure in the child area of the cart, wasn't worried for a second. Ok I was a little worried but what's up with nobody there helping me!? Less judgement, more help people! sheesh. Not my proudest mommy moment.

That picture of Gary with the duck hat looks so much like Preston. So did you end up buying the chicken that was on the floor, or a new one?
This is hilarious AND super sad. I am not sure if I should laugh or cry, but I can't believe nobody helped you!!!
I can't believe nobody helped you. Aren't you in TEXAS????? Whaaaaaaat???? Where is their southern hospitality? I have helped in less situations. I still say that if someone took the Walmart camera and got that segment off, it would go viral. Funniest home videos. But, it probably wasn't as many judgmental looks as when we took Ruby Black Friday shopping at midnight. Right?
It was not a fun moment but it was pretty hilarious when that chicken dropped! I took the one off the floor because the chicken didn't fall out of the container, it just landed upside down and some juices spilled out. Have you guys seen the crowd at Walmart? Kinda ghetto. Wasn't super surprised that no one helped.
