Walmart

I have no problem running errands with the girls, well until I actually do it and then I remember why I try not to do it often. Biggest problem is I have no cart space. Harper is in the front and Haley is in her carrier in the back. So, I decided to run to Walmart with the gaggle and let Lily & Lacy push a cart with the stuff and I would push the baby cart. They're always wanting to push the cart so I thought this would work out splendidly! Not so much. Gave Lacy a turn first with the cart, Lily pouted because it wasn't her turn. After 3 steps, Lily pouted even more because according to her, "It's never going to be my turn" and then after 4 steps, Lacy said she didn't want to push the cart anymore which was fine because she couldn't even see over the cart and was going to run people down. By the time we actually got to the back of the store to start our shopping, Lily said she didn't want to push the cart either because "my legs are hurting from pushing the cart" So, then through most of the store, I'm having to do this weird pushing & pulling of two carts. We make it to the checkout, Haley starts fussing, Harper starts fussing because Lily & Lacy are playing with the junky toys they put in the checkout lines there. Then, Haley really starts crying so I have to get her out of her carrier which makes Harper even madder because now EVERYBODY is out of the cart and she's not. Harper aka Houdini gets out of her cart seatbelt and is attempting to stand up which thank goodness she had her rain boots on which don't fit through the leg holes very well. So I'm holding Haley, making Harper sit down, trying not to look like the crazy Mom at walmart who has no control of her children. Unloading the cart, telling Lily and Lacy to get to the cart and stay there. So, while the checkout lady is asking me "Are those all yours?" "Yes" and "Going to try for a boy?" "No" and "your poor husband" "No, he really loves his girls", I'm unloading bags from the bag carousel while still holding Haley with one hand and she projectile spits up her bottle with large chunks of carrots she had for lunch all over the floor and the bags. Yep, I think I'll just wait until the weekend next time.
